I discovered, relatively recently, thru Ancestry.com, that most of my paternal grandmother's side of the family were born in Ontario, for at least 3 generations - her brother and sister, her parents, and their parents. Everyone but her - she was born in Michigan, in 1896. The probable explanation is that her family was temporarily in Michigan, harvesting crops.

I'm finding some comfort in this while the US is such a mess.

O Canada - will you take me in?
