St. Paul's Anglican Church, Queen and Montreal Streets, Kingston
Saturday, November 22, 2008
Meeting at 1:00 pm at St. Paul's Anglican Church. Nancy Cutway, BA, UE, will speak on "Researching Loyalist Women." It's often a challenge to learn much detail about any female ancestors, but Nancy will use her own 5-greats-grandmother's story as a case study.

The following is a list of Kingston Branch annual events:

Early May: We mount a display table at the Regional Historica Fair where we present three $25.00 cheques and three books to students and invite them to either raise a Loyalist flag or bring projects to our meetings. The 2008 Kingston Historica Fair was held May 1-2 at McArthur Hall (Queen's University Faculty of Education), corner of Union Street and Sir John A. Macdonald Boulevard.
June 12: We raise the Loyalist flag across from City Hall each year in commemoration of  Loyalist Day in Kingston.
June 19: We present a Loyalist flag to different locations each year for permanent display, in commemoration of Loyalist Day in Ontario. In 2007 we presented flags to the Marine Museum of the Great Lakes at Kingston and to St. George's Cathedral.
June 19: There is an annual Loyalist memorial service at St. Albans Church, Adolphustown, Ontario.
about June 19: Members from Kingston Branch lay a wreath and have a display at the Bay of Quinte Branch UELAC "Landings", an annual re-enactment of the original landing of the Loyalists at Adolphustown.
