Just wondering if anyone else is researching this family.

I'm related to CTJ whose parents were from Baltonsborough and West Pennard in Somerset.

Kind regards

Looks like Clement had a tie to Winnipeg as well.

Record of Clement T Jacob(53) Salvation Army crossing the border at Sarnia Nov 30, 1914 coming from Whitter California and going to Toronto.  They had property in Toronto valued at $1200.00 and $200.00 cash.  With him was Margaret(50) and children Ethel(24), Dora(20) and Gordon(14)

My name is Murray Clement Jacobs and Clement T. Jacobs was my grandfather, although I never knew him since he passed away prior to my birth on July 9, 1943.  Gordon Murray Jacobs was my father.

In computer surfing today I came across the above two posts.  Thank you!

By coincidence we live in Sarnia, Ontario (Bright`s Grove) and did not know that my grandfather crossed here in 1914.

I am brand new to this site but if I can be of any assistance in supplying information please let me know.

Thanks again for the information.

Hi David,

I have ancestors in the Muskokas as well and found that the local histories as a great resource of information both pictorial and written. I got these from both the local pubic libraries (interlibary loan) and local merchant purchases. You don't mention specific location(s) in the Muskokas, but I will check what i have here and let you know if i find info that relates to your family.

Cheers, JDC
