The presentation traces the remarkable journey of the Servos family, from their origins during the Serbian-Ottoman conflicts in the 1400s through centuries of migration across Europe, ultimately settling in North America. Their story is defined by bravery, loyalty to monarchies, and perseverance through upheaval—from military service in Germany to Loyalist trials during the American Revolution. Key United Empire Loyalist figures like Christopher Thomas and Captain Daniel Servos, who played a pivotal role in early Niagara settlement. “Palatine Hill” became a family legacy and historic site in Niagara-on-the-Lake, symbolizing their enduring impact. The family’s story spans wars, migration, economic enterprise, and contributions to Canadian heritage, culture, and preservation.
David Servos, UE, is the 7th generation born and raised in Niagara following the settling of his United Empire Loyalist 5 x Great-Grandfather Daniel Servos, who was a Captain during the American Revolution and went on to establish “Palatine Hill, a prominent economic and social hub. Since childhood, Dave has been interested in his family’s long local history.
Dave returned to Niagara 5 years ago with his partner and has been active in the community since then. He was a Lead Volunteer for the 2022 Canada Summer Games in Niagara. He currently is on the Municipal Heritage Committee for the City of Niagara Falls, is a member of the NOTL Museum Capital Campaign Cabinet, and is the Vice President and Assistant Membership Chair of the Col. John Butler Niagara branch of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada and while still working full time as the head of the Consumer Products Division of SHARP Electronics of Canada.
