Hi there: My name is Teddi Evans and I am the great granddaughter of Elizabeth (Island) and Thomas Holmes, Mono/Orangeville and Joseph Ritchie and Elizabeth Brown, Amaranth. I am currently researching these four families.
June 29 2013, I am hosting the first Holmes/Island,Ritchie/Brown family reunion at Island Lake in Orangeville. Please contact me if you are a decendant and are interested in attending.
