This is a blog to connect generations of family going back to the children of WFW and Sarah Fisher. Paul, Murray and Edith growing up at Shady Cottage in Burlington, Ontario were a family that had close ties to each other and the community. As the years passed and children and grandchildren came along and moved from Burlington to other parts of Ontario and beyond it was natural that our families did not see each other often. Aunt Edith was a common bond for many years and kept our families connected, in news if not in person.

Since Aunt Edith died in 1991 (28 years ago) it seems we only hear news of our extended families, or see some of them, when there is a funeral. My dad, Peter, has spent a lot of time reading old letters, looking through pictures, memorabilia and family history. He has fond memories of the family picnics and reunions at Shady Cottage, and the latest at the Highway 5 farm in 1973. It is his wish that we have a family reunion and connect once more ourselves and our children and our children’s children to each other and share some memories and some of our common history.

This blog is intended to be a place to record family stories and pictures and a place to connect ourselves with our past and present and for the future

Murray, Paul and Edith
