The Johnstons
of  Bertie Township, Ontario, Canada
c.1820  to  present

My family has lived in the former Bertie Township (now the Town of Fort Erie) for nearly 200 years.  Several members of my family, including myself                     still reside within a few miles of the Johnston farm owned by our oldest known relative, John K. Johnston. He was born in 1803 in Enniskillen Ireland.  It is unknown if he immigrated to Canada by himself as a young man  or came as a child with his family. There are several Johnstons who lived in the area around the turn of the 17th century but I have not been able to link any of them to John K. since records from that time are largely nonexistant.  He did however marry Suzannah Winger about 1828, which is the first evidence we have of his living in Canada. The Winger family emmigrated from Germany to Bertie Township in the late 1700's and figured prominently in the early days of the Bertie Brethren in Christ Church.  The links below will lead you to a summary of my genealogical research.  (It is not entirely up to date and it does require a bit of editing) If you feel that you have any information that could add to mine, or if you feel that I may be able to help you, please feel free to contact me.
