- The Story of My Ancestry Wes Switzer

In 1968, I knew nothing about genealogy and could not even spell the word. Likewise I knew very little about my background except that my grandfather came from Ireland. I suppose that sub-consciously I had a desire to know more about my ancestry because my name was not English, Irish or Scotch. During World War I, people would pass my father�s boot and shoe store in the village of Sutton and remark that �a dirty Hun lives there�. There was a lot of prejudice against people bearing �German surnames during the two world wars.

- Synod of the Canada Presbyterian Church Hamilton, June 1869 In early Canadian History there were three bodies of Presybterians: The Free Church, the United Presbyterians and the Church of Scotland.
