About The Griffith - Machan Families
The Griffith and the Machan families came to Canada around the same time - the late 1820s - the  early 1830's. They first settled in Lanark County - the Griffiths in Beckwith and the Machans a  mere 50 miles away in Dalhousie. In those early days these two groups - the Irish and the Scots - kept to their own ethnic and religious groups. They worked collectively in interrelated groupings  that had their beginnings back in their respective homelands.

By the time Canada became a county in 1867 the groups began to mix together. Religious boundaries  started to fall and the resulting melting pot arrangement continues up to this day. It took  courage and hard work to forge new lives in the wilds of Canada. It is on their broad shoulders  that we, their descendents, now stand.
