My relations are the Taylors, founding families in the 1880's. My grandfather's farm was outside Paynton, where my mom grew up and I am so looking forward to visiting the area this summer. So much history, so many stories. And delighted to know that Velma is still there, sharing her knowledge. Thank you.

We have booked a visit to Bresaylor for mid August this year (2017). I first heard of Bresaylor earlier this year when I was beginning to research my maternal roots and learned that my grandmother who passed away in 1999 was born in Bresayslor and that she and so all of her chidren, grandchildren, greaf grandchildren and so on, are direct decendants of the Sayer, Bremner and other original pre 1900 residents. We are Metis! We didn't know. Looking forward to meeting Velma in person and all that remains of Bresaylor, especially the church. <br /><br />DF from OntarioDonnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7312830679861476862.post-15969077684718897282017-06-26T09:09:37.672-07:002017-06-26T09:09:37.672-07:00Thank you so much Rain!
