Sometimes everything just falls into place. That is what happened with my Millbrook research. I helped out Norma White Johnston with some of her family history back in 2013. Her ancestor is also a British Home Child (BHC). I saw her post on Facebook and noticed she said she came from Millbrook. Millbrook is where WP lived when he came to Canada as a BHC.He lived and worked for two families -Tinney and Campbell.Norma happened to know one of the descendants of the Tinney family, Margaret, and Thomas Campbell was Norma’s Godparent!It all fell into place. We met at the Millbrook and Cavan Historical Society office in Millbrook: Norma and her friend Marilynne, Margaret Tinney, and Kim McLeod, the society archivist.There was lots of reminiscing and story telling as they all grew up in the area.
