Marjorie Van Damme’s quest for family history information was far reaching and extended well beyond our region to the UK, Ireland, Scotland, United States, and the Netherlands –resulting in an extensive collection of books on Loyalists, Quakers, Canadian history, immigration and more.
In addition to these, Marjorie has authored and compiled extensive research on a number of well-established County families that form the branches of her family tree:
- The Pioneer Maxwells of Hastings County, Ontario, Canada
- Mordens of the Bay of Quinte (includes Parliaments, Williams, Bowman families)
- The Swayne Family in Canada
- Ahnentafel of Marjorie Swayne Van Damme
- Williams, John Sr. U.E.
- Mohawk Valley Families
- and research on the Cotter and Creeper families.
Beginning your own family history research might seem daunting, but having access to rich collections like this can be an enormous help in fleshing out your own tree.
