Hi,
My name is John Walter Emon. I am named after my Great Uncle, John Lewis Emon. My Father, Keith Walter Emon, is from Calabogie, Ontario as well. My Grandfather is Roy Walter Emon. I enjoy reading about my family history. I stumbled upon your blog by accident and I am quite pleased to learn a little more about my family history.
Thank You :)
You're quite welcome.
Ken
