SUMMARY:Kent Branch | This Land: The Story of Two Hundred Acres in Kent Cou
 nty |Kae Elgie
DESCRIPTION:This is a hybrid presentation co-hosted with the Kent Historica
 l Society.\n\nResearcher\, author and long time OGS member\, Kae Elgie\, w
 ill meet with us in-person to discuss her experience and tips learned whil
 e researching the stories of all the people who lived on the same two hund
 red acres of land where she grew up. Kae learned how to identify and date 
 the artefacts ("arrowheads") that so many farmers have informally discover
 ed on their land\, how to use land records to piece together the stories o
 f the many settler families who consecutively settled that land\, how to d
 iscover the social and economic context and setting for these stories\, an
 d how to tie hundreds of "facts" into a very interesting story.&nbsp\;\n\n
 This presentation is free and open for anyone to attend at the McKinlay Fu
 neral Home's Reception Centre at 463 St. Clair St.\, Chatham. Please park 
 in the Hakim Optical parking lot (not the funeral home). \n\nFor those una
 ble to attend in person\, simply register at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87
 883343837&nbsp\;\n\n Kae Elgie grew up on a 200-acre farm at Dawn Mills 
 in Camden Gore Township. Although she currently lives in Waterloo\, the fa
 ct that three of her five siblings and several nieces and nephews and thei
 r children live in Chatham-Kent keeps her keenly interested and connected 
 to the land where she grew up. She is Past Board Chair of Architectural Co
 nservancy Ontario\, a provincial charity which encourages the conservation
  and reuse of buildings\, districts and landscapes of architectural\, hist
 oric or cultural significance. It's an organization which has allowed her 
 to put interest in heritage and her passion for making it accessible to ot
 hers\, into practice. Her pre-retirement work as Manager\, Information Tec
 hnology for Region of Waterloo Library and her ongoing learning about how 
 data is organized greatly helped her family history and genealogy research
  work. Her stint as a reporter-photographer for the Petrolia Advertiser-To
 pic and North Lambton Sun newspapers honed her writing skills.&nbsp\;
