Starting the Journey

Starting the Journey The start of this investigation of the into the history of the McKnight and Strohm family commenced with the presentations of WW 1 Local Stories One version of our WW One Slideshow is here

Bob and I have done  numerous  presentations providing an overview of the  WW 1 from the big picture, Canadian and our own local Oshawa history.   The last  set of stories  focused on individuals  who are related to the presenters.  In the early presentations  we focused on Robert Bell and his  Great Grandfather  who was a Dr. Barnado  child  from the UK,  a local  Nursing Sister  Sara  Garbutt who died overseas and other  locals.  

The current  slideshows  now include my connection via  my father  who was  Sgt Major  HB  McKnight   who was part of the CEF and served  in England.     As in our  presentations  we will  add resources to the posts and a page resource
