The McClelland's of Canada

Welcome to my Web site!

This web site is dedicated to the preservation of our family history. This started as a casual hobby to preserve information we had in the family.  Over the years and thanks to the help from relatives and others around the world, our family tree now contains over 3,650 individuals, 1100 marriages, 10 generations and 921 surnames.  On my side of the family, information for my gg grandfather John McClelland dates back to 1818, while gg grandmother Margaret Blackburn dates back to the mid 1700's. On my mother's side, the Folliott and Boynton families date back to the early 1800's. All our immediate families settled in Ontario initially.

On my wife's side of the family, the Schwab's and Herman's emigrated from Hussenbach and Wulka, Volynia in Russia in the late1880's and early 1900's. 

Navigating My Website

The  page is set up with a Family Backgrounds section that gives a  brief history of the  McClelland, Folliott and Schwab families. This is followed by  Family History links to the respective families. All family information, including notes, are found in these links.

Please note that I have not published many of the details for each family, either for privacy reasons or for simplicity in maintaining the web site.

Some of the Family Trees are very large and if you would like a copy of the information, I can provide it electronically either in  MS Word format or PDF format
