Glad to hear from you Joe.
My daughter, Pat, and I had a good time visiting Elmira and Elora, and yes we did visit the thriving metropolis of Ariss.
I have 10 grandchildren and 1 ggranddaughter.
I would be happy to exchange information with you.
To start with my wife's name was Wilma Joan Wenner and her father was Arthur Wenner.The family name was originally Wener but he had it changed to Wenner.The family was of German descent, but he was born in London, Ontario.
Besides my daughter, who is the second oldest, I have 4 sons, John, David, Dennis and Allan.My wife and myself were born in Windsor, Ontario as well as my 4 oldest children, Allan was born in Niagara Falls, Ontario.We all now live in the Toronto area except John and his family who live in Regina, Saskatchewan.
We also found much info in Elmira since my mother's family. the Bristows were among the original settlers there,so we will be going back to those areas again this summer.
All the best to you,
Jack Booker
