Review

Editorial Reviews Review As with Lucille Campey’s previous books, Seeking a Better Future is a major addition to the literature for those looking for insight into their pioneer immigrant ancestor experience, in this case the English in Quebec and Ontario. ― Anglo-Celtic Connections[Lucille Campey] has distilled a copious amount of research into an informative and engaging book that clearly addresses the English immigration to Upper and Lower Canada during the 1800s. I would highly recommend this book for those interested in this period of immigration to Canada. ― The British Columbia Genealogist About the Author Lucille H. Campey was born in Ottawa.
