  1. Hi,

    You must be somehow connected to the Saunders family of Guelph but I’m not sure from your blog who you are exactly! I’m the 3rd great grandson of the Thomas Saunders mentioned above. I would love to hear from you as I’m currently working on a family tree. Please email me at tdsaunders2017@gmail.com. Thanks!
