WR Immigration Partnership presents the Global Migration Film Fest
Many Canadians never think about how and why our ancestors came here.
My father’s ancestors emigrated to North America from Alsace in the early 1800s. Although no one knows why they came, it may have been that they were German at a time Alsace was in French hands, but it was probably economic. They did wander through the US and Canada quite a bit before setting roots in the vicinity of Walkerton.
