  HARPER

Red lettering indicates the line of ancestry of Herbert Hazelwoods sons.

Although I, myself, am not a descendant of the Harpers, the Hazelwoods and Harpers go back a long way... since about 1888 when both George Harper and Herbert Edward Hazelwood, my great-grandfather, came to Canada.  Both families lived in Montreal, Quebec, and both moved to Mattawa, Ontario at the same time.  Two of Herbert Edward Hazelwood's sons married daughters of George Harper in a double wedding on September 2, 1924.  Percy married Mary and Herbert married Olive.  Sadly, Olive died six years later leaving Herbert (my grandfather) with two young sons.  Herbert remarried and had six more children, creating the blended Hazelwood-Harper-Munro family of which I am descended.
