The purpose of The Friends of the Loyalist Collection at the Brock University, founded in 2001 in the Region of Niagara in Ontario was created to establish and maintain a collection of source material, mainly on microfilm, about the United Empire Loyalists to encourage academic research and study. It is a non-profit charitable organization.
I will be visiting the Brock University this summer to do some further research on my loyalist heritage , collecting information and sources for my certification as a descendant of the UEL. I am hoping to find land patents and grants for my Haines and Doan ancestors. I will be thrilled if I can find the name of Joseph Haines' wife as well as Nathaniel Haines' wife, Lydia's maiden name.
