While putting the family genealogy on the Internet, I created several historical summary pages to give some background to people and events. I also transcribed some personal documents. Below is an index to those pages. In order to make the material more interesting, I added pictures I found on the web; but the origin of this added material is not always known or indicated.
Note: If any owner objects, I will correct the situation.

WW1 EscapeGerrie Burk, my great uncle, fought in WW1. He was gassed and captured by the Germans at Ypres. After 18 months, he escaped along with an English soldier, H.W. Tustin, and returned to Canada where he lived the rest of his life as an Indian Agent. Tustin's memoirs, recently published, describe life in the prison camp and the subsequent escape. |
