This project was
started by Harold Ford Doner, & carried on by Harry Doner. The amount of work
these two men did on all of our behalves is staggering, and we are all in their
debt. In an era predating computers and the internet, they rummaged in 
Archives,
dug in Land Offices, and travelled this monstrous gorgeous country simply
looking in the phone book for the right surnames before giving them a call.
Harry Doner arrived on my parents' doorstep when I was about 12 years old and
had driven from Ontario to B.C. in an old sedan, with his dog and a back seat
full of files. A hardcover book was published (The Doners in Canada - Printing
House Ltd. Thornhill Ont. 1974) and in Harry and Harold's honour, I wish to
continue their tradition by bringing their work into the digital age. Since 
then
I have been updating and keeping it as complete as possible, but need your 
help.


As of the end of Feb. 2007, there are 14,910 direct descendants (& 
their
spouses) of the first two Doners to settle in Markham 200 years ago. So, I
implore you to PLEASE contact me whenever a birth, marriage, death, or special
event happens in your family's life, so that it can be preserved for future
generations. Photos, old or new, are particularly welcome. What is normal &
boring to us today may well be cool & fascinating to our descendants. (Look!
It's an actual gasoline-fired automobile!)

Due to genealogy etiquette,
information on living persons is not posted on the internet, however you may
contact me directly for a family password, about any specific questions you might 
have, or how you may be related to
someone else in the tree.
