Talk : “They Came on Ships – Ancestral Migrations to Prince Edward Island”
Lisa Chilton of the History Department of UPEI who was to give a talk on 19th century emigration from the British Isles to Canada on Monday August 6 at 7 pm at the Bedeque Area Museum is not available. We are thus grateful for David Walker, an historian and genealogist, and a member of the Bedeque Museum, who lives in Ontario but spends his summers on the Island, for stepping into the breach by offering to reprise a talk on the subject of emigration in his own family which he gave at the Malpeque Museum earlier this summer.
The title of his presentation is “They Came on Ships – Ancestral Migrations to Prince Edward Island”. His presentation will begin with a description of a project to create a wall hanging quilt that depicts migration of 25 of his ancestors, from the British Isles to New England and Prince Edward Island, and from New England to Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. The talk will then describe ten of those ancestors, the common element being that they all migrated to various parts of Prince Edward Island.
The talk will take place on Monday August 6 at 7 pm in the Community Room of the William Callbeck Centre, Central Bedeque. Refreshments will be served. There is no admission charge but donations are welcome.
