This book in two parts stems from the authorÕs lengthy research into the early history of Rawdon Township, Lower Canada and includes the majority of immigrants arriving before 1852. Part One profiles 80 families in 64 chapters. The origin of each family is determined, when possible, and their destinations on leaving. Although most of the families investigated are Protestant, the books include chapters on the early Irish-Catholic community. Since it was published in February 2013, many pages of new and revised material have been added at www.uptorawdon.com on "Author's & Readers' Updates" and other pages; they are free and are useful companions to the book. Currently the website is updated every 6 weeks. ** The two parts of UP TO RAWDON must be ordered separately. **
