During the American Revolutionary War, approximately 35% of the population of the Thirteen Colonies were loyal to King George III of Great Britain. Was your ancestor one of them? If your ancestor sided with the British, he/she was branded a Tory and faced expulsion from the newly formed United States of America at the conclusion of the war.
Join the Bruce County Genealogical Society as speaker Kathryn Lake Hogan, the past Dominion Genealogist of the United Empire Loyalists’ Association of Canada, shares tips and strategies for researching your Loyalist ancestor.

The Bruce County Genealogical Society’s mandate is to keep the lives of our County Ancestors alive and to assist those of you, researching your own ancestors, to find all that there is to know about your family. The Archives and Reading Room, which is upstairs in the Bruce County Museum in Southampton and full of history, is a good place for you to begin. Any one of our members will be happy to tell you about what they have found of interest to their family trees in the Archives. Or just ask the staff what records are available for you to peruse.
The Bruce County Archives is part of the Bruce County Museum & Cultural Centre, 33 Victoria Street, Southampton, Ontario, 519-797-2080, ext. 129, and is open during museum hours.
