Excerpt from Ontarian FamiliesIt has not been my intention to include in this work families only of superior social standing. The list of those who appear in it might seem to indicate some such selection, but that is simply because the history of some families has been less difficult to obtain than that of others. And though the purpose of the work has reference to the earlier settlers, I have not thought it inconsistent to include immigrants of more recent arrival.Most genealogical works follow the plan of selecting an individual and tracing his ancestry this work is just the reverse, as it is the naming of an ancestor and tracing, as far as practicable, all his descendants. I have therefore omitted none whose names I could learn, except in the case of children of persons who have left Ontario and gone to live elsewhere. I have even been particular to include those whose career is summed up in the curt but pathetic d inf. Some of those to whom [am indebted for assistance in obtaining particulars of their families have not quite understood what was desired in this respect.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
