Copy
All copy was developed by Jeri Danyleyko, using information compiled from a variety of sources. These include websites, publications and various archival databases. A special thanks goes to Eric Rice for the detailed information on the Wales fire.
All information has been cross-checked through two or more sources. Nevertheless, since much of the information was based on interpretation, some inaccuracies may exist. In cases where dates, facts or spellings differed, we have used the version that seemed to be the most logical.
Images
The archival images were obtained from several different sources including The Lost Villages Historical Society, The Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Historical Society, private and personal collections and other sources as indicated.
