Niagara Falls, Ontario

On the way from Canada to America we stopped off at Niagara Falls. Of course we looked at the falls, but more importantly, we also popped in to catch up with a few ancestors in the local graveyard:


Here is the grave of Charles Hyatt and his wife Grace Crann:





and here, their daughter Janice with her husband Hugh Bradley:

Geneva Hyatt Family

On a recent visit to Geneva in the northern part of New York State, I went to Glenwood Cemetery where I knew that some of my ancestors are buried.

A very kind man from the graveyard helped me look through the records he held and even went so far as to dig up the stones for me. I am immensely grateful to this man who went more than the extra mile for me. Of course, as I have found in the past, as soon as you answer one question, another one pops up and on this occasion I found far more Hyatts than I had bargained for.

My Charles Hyatt migrated from Gloucestershire to America in 1870. I wonder if he went because another relative was already there? Could that other relative have descendants in Geneva where Charles and his family settled? So ....... if anyone knows anything about Seymour Hyatt and his family, I would be very pleased to hear from them. By the way, Seymour Hyatt's family was linked to the Corwin family by more than one marriage.

Here are the photos:
