Genealogy is one of my hobbies that I began about 40 years ago. After I retired from my career in 2020, I spent a lot of time in the pandemic researching my tree. I have an extensive tree on Family Search.
I am second generation Canadian on my father's side and third generation Canadian on my mother's side.
My paternal side - Smith, Madden, McGinnis, Killegan - came from Scotland and Ireland - the maternal side - Kear, Brunyard, James, Mason - came from Yorkshire and Gloucestershire/Forest of Dean, as well as into Wales.
My maternal side - Sherban/Szczerban, Boyenko/Bojenko, Holuk, Remenda, Dutka, Kiril - came from Borshchiv, Ukraine.
