Hello, Hilary18 (and hello all):

Ann met you at the Monilaws reunion in 2000, and we have a copy of your fantastic family work-up.  For anyone interested, it is a seminal and scholarly  dissertation upon George and his descendants.
Hilary, have you had any luck moving beyond G and I ?  I've sent you a personal message with our emails.
And thanks again to Matt and Scooch for the help.
Dave

Hi Dave. I have emailed both you and Ann. We haven't gotten any further back than George so far..but I sent you copies of some early land documents with his signature regarding land in Galt (now part of the City of Cambridge), Ontario. So glad to have stumbled across this board.

Greetings!

I am a Monilaws and I live in North Dakota, USA.  My Great Great Grandfather Thomas migrated here from Canada (Ontario I believe).  Beyond that I really have no information on my family history.  I would kindly accept any information that can be provided. 

thank you!
