Genealogy
The following pages contain a transcription of my Grandfather's
Genealogical work from over the last sixty years. It contains his complete
narrative "The Family Tree of James McAlpine - Roots and All" as well
as the McAlpine Genealogical tree that he prepared in PAF format. I have also
begun to add the newspaper articles his mother, my great-grandmother, Isabel
(MacLean) McAlpine submitted to the Bancroft Times over a four-year period in
the early 1980s. My Grandfather asked me to preface these pages with the
following:
The following genealogical account entitled " The Family Tree of
James McAlpine - Roots and All" was prepared by James Francis McAlpine,
503-2019 Carling Avenue Ottawa, Ontario K1A 4A2, over the years 1950-2012. It
is his wish to record here a very special acknowledgement to his daughter
Isabel Marie McAlpine, for the many hours she spent in typing and editing the
narrative portion (245 pp.) and converting it to electronic form in 1994.
Likewise, he wishes to extend, herewith, his similar heartfelt thanks to Martha
Kostuch, a descendant of Iowa Mike McAlpin, Rocky Mountain House, Alta., who
unstintingly spent hundreds of hours and talent to type and enter all the
individual genealogical data (2000+ entries) into Personal Ancestral File (PAF)
format. In conclusion,"To my eldest grandson, Sean Patrick McAlpine, I
extend sincere thanks for presenting this work on his personal web site- www.seanmcalpine.com
- and for the improvements he has made on the tables as well as for the
corrections and additions he has made and will make in the future."
