Comment on Barbara Wall La Rocque at Toronto’s Northern District Library by admin

Hi Susan,
You have come across a post that was done back in 2011 as a public service announcement. The OGS was not actually involved with this event nor do we have any connection with the author. Ms. La Rocque does not seem to have a website that we could find to direct you to, so perhaps your best bet is to check her book to see if any contact information is provided there. Alternatively, the book’s publisher, Dundurn Press, may have some contact info for this author that is available to the public. Good luck with your family research!

Hi there,
I’d like to contact Barbara, if possible, or have her contact me. I’m doing research on my family, the Hawkins, who lived on Wolfe Island and would like more information if she has it. Please have her contact me.
thank you!

Hi Eric,
Unfortunately, since these are not OGS publications, we cannot make copies and forward them to you. Have you tried contacting Ottawa Branch to see if they have the publications you are interested in? They may be reached at: inquiries@ogsottawa.on.ca.

Comment on Dieppe and The Veterans by Eric W. Moore

A sad story. However, from personal experience, the average infantryman is not well equipped to report on wartime events, even those in which they have been involved. The story of the Battle of Dieppe certainly has been muddled by its many and varied accounts.

It is perhaps unfortunate that the film was introduced by two such self-serving politicians.

I am interested in Cumbria, Liverpool and Manchester area periodicals. Living in Ottawa, is there any way I can access them other than by travelling to Toronto?

Thank you,

Eric Moore

Sorry this is off topic but I’m trying to contact a Pat Jeffs who has a message in Rootsweb Archives regarding the Palmer family in Kirkcudbright, Scotland. Does anyone know how I can contact her? Thanks, Jen.
