GSSCC Lecture: Revolutionary Voices, with Kathryn Lake Hogan

Exploring Loyalist and Patriot Roots at 250 Years

Kathryn will focus on how to trace paths of American Revolutionary War ancestors, whether your ancestor was a Patriot or a Loyalist, and how Loyalist migration impacted Canadian settlement patterns.

This program will focus on how to trace the complex research paths of American Revolutionary War ancestors, an appropriate topic as the United States celebrates its 250-year anniversary this year. Kathryn will show us how to identify whether your ancestor was a Patriot or a Loyalist, and will explain how Loyalist migration impacted Canadian settlement patterns. She will give practical tips and note key resources for researching both groups.
