Dear Friends:

As family historians, we all love to find and read old letters. The next step is to share the contents, even if the news is fifty or a hundred fifty years old. If you have letters, photographs or data to share, relevant to any of the individuals covered in Up To Rawdon or the subsequent on-line updates, please contact me. I would be delighted to hear from you and would add your material (with credit to you) to the on-line update file. Perhaps, someone interested in your family, not already known to you, will see the material and contact you.

I added updates to my ‘blog’ (the pink column of http://uptorawdon.com/) and the update file in March, May and August 2017, new information and photographs of Rawdon old timers or ancestors. This material is freely accessible to any person with an interest in the history of the families of the old township - even if they have not purchased Up To Rawdon. Thank you to those who have shared.

It is my hope that people the who find Up To Rawdon by chance will learn from what is in updates and purchase the original. Please, encourage those interested in your family and their connection to Rawdon to purchase copies of Up To Rawdon. Might make an interesting Christmas gift.

Sincerely,
Daniel

P.S. This classic song cover dates from 1927 but you may better remember Louis Armstrong, Frank Sinatra or Bing Crosby from the 1940s or more likely Connie Francis in 1959. I have a huge collection of old sheet music from 1895 to 1950s, much of it pre- World War One. Some of it belonged to my grandmother Mary Kinsey Hamilton Parkinson and her sister Janet Kinsey Holiday Olive, much is from father’s sisters Mary and Bertha and some from Major Ken Heans, my late sister-in-law Elizabeth’s stepfather.
