For years Graham Segger used the 1862 Tremaine wall map of the Counties of Lincoln and Welland in his local history and genealogical research, as well as many other similar maps of various different counties throughout Ontario. He became curious about who the Tremaine family were and how they came to publish their maps of 14 different Canada West counties between 1856 and 1864. This research resulted in two articles published in the November 2024 issue of OGS Families journal about the Tremaines and how to use their maps as genealogical evidence. Graham will expand upon the information in those articles using the Lincoln and Welland map as an example, though he will also touch on maps of other counties in the province.
