Hmmmnnn...there is a Galt in California, but don't know that there is one in Canada... Are you quite sure of this location?  J.J.

Isobel,

In 1973, Galt, Preston and Hespeler amalgamated to form the City of Cambridge, in Ontario.

My Scottish great-grandparents came to Hespeler about 1914 to work in the woolen mills.  (My family left just before it became part of Cambridge.)

I think this is the webpage for the library in Galt but it is confusing:
http://www.library.cambridge.on.ca/main.cfm

If you browse around, perhaps you can figure it out.  I don't like the design of this website.

Were you not interested in the Janet Hogg married to William Rutherford?

[Isobel]

I missed that one.  I was too busy looking for Hogg I missed it.  Thanks

Isobel,

If you write letters to the library and church in Galt, they might be able to find some info for you.

Josephine
