My Occupation:

Before that, I worked at various jobs such as BC Liquor Board, Canadian Forces Base in Chilliwack (kitchen), Traffic Control Person, Data Processing, BC Forestry (Chilliwack River Nursery), Zellers Department Store in Edmonton, Alberta.

I love quadding (atv) whenever given the chance. I spend my summers exploring the beautiful mountains of British Columbia.

I love boating as well, but it's hard to tow a boat and two quads, so not getting to boat too much these days.

Learning about my ancestors and creating my family tree is my passion.

I cannot find any information on the McDonald's side of my family so if there is anyone out there who can help me trace them to at least my great grandfather I would be most grateful.

Jackie is honoured to be a descendant of William Phelps (1599) of New England (maternal).

William Phelps (c. 1599 – July 14, 1672) was a Puritan Englishman who immigrated in 1630 to the American Colonies. He was one of the founders of both Dorchester, Massachusetts, and Windsor, Connecticut, foreman of the first grand jury in New England, served most of his life in the early colonial government and played a key role in establishing the first democratic town government in the American colonies. Noted historian Henry Reed Stiles said Phelps "was one of the most prominent and highly respected men in the colony."

William Phelps immigration to the United States:

King Charles I of England had succeeded his father King James I of England in 1625, and continued his father's strong opposition to the Puritan movement, who opposed many of the Anglican Church's doctrines as retaining too much of its Roman Catholic roots. After the Puritans assumed control of Parliament, they began to pose a serious threat to the King's authority. In January 1629, in a move to neutralize his opponents, Charles dissolved Parliament entirely. The religious and political climate became so difficult for Puritans that many began to make arrangements to leave the country.
William Phelps was among them.
