Halliday History

My mother is Eleanor Jean Halliday. She is the daughter of William Norman Halliday and Vivian Viola Meech. Her siblings were Robert (Uncle Bob), Elizabeth (Aunt Betty), Norman (Uncle Norm), and John (Uncle John). Here is a diagram of our family.

The Hallidays originally came from Scotland via Canada.

I have accumulated a number of references to Halliday family history. I have digitized much of it to make it easy to preserve and pass on to our children. Here I have links to various PDF documents. For most of these I have Microsoft Word versions also to make it it easy add material and make corrections. Contact me if you want the Word version of any of these.
