WELCOME to the Ontario Irish (CAN-ONTARIO-IRISH-L) Discussion List. This is a discussion area for anyone who has an interest in the Genealogy, History, Culture or anything related to the Irish immigration to the Ontario Province. This list is for the whole province of Ontario, including the old County of Ontario. If your ancestor lived or even just passed through Ontario, they have a special type of culture. The fun part of the list is figuring our what part or our traditions originated in Ireland or originated from Ontario.  This list will be a place where we discuss those traditions that include holidays, recipes, music, weddings, births, funerals/wakes, etc. Hopefully, in our discourse we will find where the tradition started and which are pure Irish, which are Ontario Irish or which are just Ontario related.

Please note: This list is set up so that all replies automatically go back to the list. This is done because much of the information posted in the replies is also helpful to others on the list.

If you wish to reply privately to someone, just copy and paste that persons address in the "To:" section of the message composition.

 If you need help, contact me, at: nymets11@pacbell.net
