Bruce County Genealogical Society presentation: “A Barnardo Child in Bruce County” by guest speaker Bill Streeter
2025-09-29 19:00 - 22:00 | Bruce County Museum and Cultural Centre, 33 Victoria St N, Southampton, ON, Canada
Bill Streeter (local historian, writer and speaker) was born in 1942 and raised in Southampton, Ontario. Bill is a dedicated genealogist, writer and speaker, and has published over 250 historical articles and played a key role in commemorative local projects. Bill’s presentation will focus on 10 year-old George Streeter, who was placed in the Barnardo emigration program in 1887.
George embarked on a transatlantic journey alongside dozens of other boys, in an effort to resettle thousands of British youths to a new life in the British Colonies. Bill documents George’s life in detail using various records to illustrate George’s future and life as a Home Child.
