Honouring the people who served Canada in my family, and their friends by sharing their photos. They were proud of themselves and their loved ones when they took these photos. By posting them here I hope to keep their memory alive. My grandparents kept these photos, but did not write names on most of them. If you recognize your family member, please email me at alicia@ancestrybyalicia.ca or comment down below.
After obtaining my Master of Arts degree in History, and working on my genealogy for over 15 years, I decided to write about interesting historical matters from not only my family, but other interesting tidbits as well.
I also research and present free walking tours in my city, including "Haunted Oshawa" and "Murder and Mayhem in Oshawa."
I am currently writing two books. One is a historical account of small-town murders in Ontario. The other is a historical novel about the Royal African Company's James Fort on the Gambia River, 1715-1740.
