Bio

I'm a passionate, amateur genealogist. My main lines of interest are: Palmer, Bacon, Kapferer, Meyer. My Bacon and Palmer lines are well-documented, thanks to the tireless work of many amateur and professional genealogists who came before me. I'm an American who currently lives in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, where my only familial ties are my immediate ones. When I have the opportunity, I will happily photograph local Mississauga graves.

Please do not hold on to family memorials if you're unable to look after them in a timely manner. Please be kind and transfer them.

Finished working on finding and linking together all of Isaac & Armenia Palmer's (my gggg grandparents) children. I finally have all 10! Thank you so much to Pat, the church historian at FCCOG, who has photographed and entered the info for so many of my family members. You are a jewel and I am eternally grateful to you!

**Willis Palmer 1868-??? (I can't find him - I've come to the conclusion, based on many bits of evidence, that Willis is not ours. His only appearance is on the 1880 census where he's listed AFTER his supposed younger sister and listed "on farm" at 12 yrs old. He doesn't appear with the family on the 1870 census when he would have been 2 yrs old. On the 1900 census, our matriarch, Armenia, lists herself as mother of 10 children with 8 still living. Willis makes 11 children with 9 living. Sorry, Willis! You're free now. Would love to know who you were, though.)

Next project: finding and linking all of Addison & Margaret Armstrong Palmer's children. Here we go!

Albert Franklin Palmer 1871-1949 x
Gertrude Armenia Palmer Bacon 1873-1906 x
William Howard Palmer 1876-1940 (Buried at St. John's Cemetery, Stamford (Darien?), Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; no record yet)
Florence Ellen Palmer Meredith 1878-1955 (Son is buried at FCCOG)
Jenny R. Palmer Johnson 1880-1940 (Her husband, Clark C Johnson, is buried at FCCOG so I'll assume she's there, too. No record posted yet.)
Arthur Addison Palmer 1883-1946
Bertha M. Palmer Place 1886- BEF 1930 (I'm pretty sure I've mixed up my Bertha with someone else. I haven't figured it out yet. I'm in the process of fixing it. My bad.)
Eleanor Somerville Palmer Parkes 1887-1936 x
