SUMMARY:Discovering My O’Hagan Roots\, with guest speaker\, Joe O’Hagan
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, Joe will discuss and illustrate the steps\, and occasional missteps\, involved in collecting information pertaining to his O’Hagan ancestors. Joe will show how he put together this extensive information into two books (O’Hagan Genealogy – Part 1 John O’Hagan\, Bridget Ryle & Their Descendants and O’Hagan Genealogy – Part 2 The Life and Times of Dr. Thomas O’Hagan. 477 pages + 633 pages) to preserve it for future generations. \nThis is an in-person event\, hosted by the Bruce County Genealogical Society. \nFree to attend; Register online here or by calling (519)797-2080. \nLocation: Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre (33 Victoria St N\, Southampton\, ON N0H 2L0) \nFor more information\, email the Bruce County Genealogical Society: BCGSwebinars@gmail.com \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n__\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Joe O’Hagan \nI was born and raised in Walkerton\, Bruce County\, Ontario\, and grew up there during the 1950s and 60s in this small town atmosphere. As a child\, I was surrounded by relatives who told family stories about colorful\, and even famous\, characters from my family and this made me curious to find out more about my family history and genealogy. Books like the Queen’s Bush and the Black Donnellys fuelled my burgeoning interest. My work as a police office and detective for the Toronto Police for 32 years\, starting in 1969\, gave me invaluable tools to collect facts\, distinguish fact from fiction\, and gather supporting evidence. \nOver the years\, I compiled a lot of information relating to my ancestors and more recent family members. One of my ancestors\, Dr. Thomas O’Hagan\, my great-granduncle\, was a well-known author\, poet and world traveler. Like him\, I love to travel and went to Ireland on a number of occasions to find out more about my roots and succeeded in discovering some difficult-to-find information about my ancestors who had left Ireland and travelled to Bruce County. In 2010\, I helped organize a family reunion in in Chepstow which 430 people attended from all over North America and Europe. The following year\, 50 of us O’Hagans and friends\, went to Ireland and explored our family’s original home property. In 2025\, I privately published two books about my ancestors\, O’Hagan Genealogy – Part 1 John O’Hagan\, Bridget Ryle & Their Descendants and O’Hagan Genealogy – Part 2 The Life and Times of Dr. Thomas O’Hagan.

SUMMARY:How to Trace Ancestors Through Letters and Postcards\, with guest Kathryn Lake Hogan
DESCRIPTION:WEBINAR via Zoom \nFamily history goes beyond vital statistics; it’s about listening to the voices of our ancestors. Letters\, postcards\, telegrams\, and other everyday forms of communication bring personal experiences to life and add context that official records often lack. Learn how to find these materials in archives\, local collections\, and family holdings\, and interpret them as historical evidence. Discover how to analyze handwriting\, postmarks\, and even the language of telegrams to trace migration\, community connections\, and family ties. Diaries\, autograph books\, and early phone directories will also be highlighted as sources that capture ordinary lives. Attendees will leave with strategies to uncover and preserve these fragile yet powerful records of daily life. \nRegister HERE: https://bit.ly/2026-02-09-KathrynLakeHogan \nHosted by Bruce County Genealogical Society.

SUMMARY:Researching the 160th\, Through Military Records & Genealogical Websites With guest speaker\, Kent Kraemer
DESCRIPTION:November 10 | 7:00 PM (Virtual Via Zoom) \nIn researching the 160th Canadian Overseas (Bruce) Battalion\, military records were an invaluable tool. These personnel files contained\, not only\, personal information of the soldier\, but also that of their family. Their service history includes enlistment and discharge dates\, rank\, unit assignments\, and information about injuries sustained. \nMore information was needed to fully tell the stories of these men. Local history books and archival newspaper articles provided additional insights\, however\, genealogical sites helped complete the picture. The addition of census data\, marriage\, immigration and death records all contribute to bringing their soldiers to life. \nRegister HERE: https://bit.ly/2025-11-10-KentKraemer \nFB: 160th Bruce Battalion: https://www.facebook.com/160thBruceBattalion \n____ \nAbout Kent Kraemer \nAlthough born and and raised in Toronto\, Bruce County has always been ‘up home’.  His dad was born in Greenock and mom in Holyrood.  As a student\, he spent his summers farming in Kinloss and Kincardine Townships\, first for his uncle and then with his brother.  As a sales professional and entrepreneur\, he has experience in the brewing\, gaming\, automotive and insurance industries throughout North America.  The highlight of his career being the founding of a craft brewery in Niagara. \nHe became interested the 160th Bruce Battalion in 2007 and formed a Facebook page chronicling the battalion’s history in November 2015.  Researching the 160th involved searching many local\, provincial and federal archives.

SUMMARY:“The Old Lady Went Along”: Senior migration in the 1800s (via Zoom)
DESCRIPTION:May 12 | 7:00 PM \nHosted by the Bruce County Genealogical Society \nWe all have 19th century examples in our family histories where parents\, children and grandparents migrated to\, or within\, Canada. What was the impact on the aged folk who left their families\, and their long-time friends and neighbours? Or the physical stresses from the trip itself and the life they found in the wilderness? Or the impact on the older generation who could not\, or would not\, make the trip? This talk will tell the stories of Dianne Brydon’s aging ancestors: those who travelled to Canada from Ireland and Scotland; those who moved again for new opportunities\, having grown old in Canada; and those who were left behind. \nRegister HERE: https://bit.ly/2025-05-12-DianneBrydon-BCGS \nOr by emailing BCGSWebinars@gmail.com \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nDianne Brydon has used skills learned from her Masters in Historical Geography to research her various family histories. She likes nothing more than travelling to archives in the UK\, Canada\, and the US. There\, she sneezed through bundles of dusty documents. The gems she finds help to piece together her ancestors’ colourful stories. \nIn 2017\, Dianne and her father published their family history. The book is titled “The Stalwart Brydons: From Scotland to Galt to Portage La Prairie”. Since then\, she has written articles and given talks to family history/genealogy/local history groups in both Scotland and Canada. She is currently President of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa. \n  \n \n
