As with all genealogy searches, my goal is to connect with as many 'family' members as possible. I wish to help my children share the people of the present with the ancestral connections to the past. It is nice to know from where we all came. The Hannah's of my interest came to Ontario Canada from Ireland and Scotland about 1845. The Hill side were United Empire Loyalists, coming to Ontario Canada about 1810 but have their roots to New England and previously to Scotland, England and the Netherlands.
The Gelowitz side came to Saskatchewan Canada about 1900 after leaving Bukovina Ukraine/Bulgaria/Romania which was the most eastern part of the Prussian Empire. They were German speaking, not Ukranian. The Fischer side had also settled in Saskatchewan Canada after coming from Prussia (Germany/Poland area).
