Hi Kyla
I'd love to chat with you about your Peer family. If you visit my page at
http://olivetreegenealogy.com/nn/surnames/pier.shtml you will find a brief intro to the Peer family - and at the bottom of the page, a contact email (or click on my name here and use the email shown)
Your grandfather must be Herbert John Peer b 1910 to Stephen Lester Peer and Ada Gaston.
Stephen (1863-1956) born and died in Clarkson, Peel Co. Ontario, was the s/o James Peer and Emma Anderson
James was the s/o John Peer (1835-1908) & Mary Ann Oliphant. Please see my message posted this morning on the Canada>Ontario>Wellington Co. message board with the lineage of John Peer back to 1790s in NJ
http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/lQC.2ACE/704.1.1 is the original question, my reply is there as well.
I have much more on this family - land petitions, births, marriages, deaths, wills,census etc. Perhaps we can help each other - I'd like more info on Herbert, wife Lola etc. I didn't have his wife or children, you can probably help me with that.
Let me just give a word of caution - the Peer family lineages on the 'net are error-ridden. It's a tricky family to figure out, and a lot of what you will find online is guesswork and unsourced.
Also, the Perkins-Bull collection of family genealogies has an interview with John Peer's grandsons, John Charles Peer and Stephen L. Peer, taken circa 1930s. Much of the information is incorrect so be careful if you are using that as a source. It's just someone's memories, and anyone's memories can be faulty - or they simply didn't have the resources we have to check family lore.
