The Intertwining of Canadian History and the Prowses

Hello all, it's been a hot minute since I last posted on the Forum but here we are...

I'm excited to say that Leanne Cooper and Robert Prowse, who are both descendants of the Prince Edward Island Prowses, as well as myself will be making a presentation on the many fascinating correlations of the Prowse lines in Canada and the history of Canada. Well known are the Newfoundland and PEI Prowse lines but there were many other Prowse branches that came to Canada - even one that came from Australia.

Did you know that there is a church in Winnipeg, my hometown, with Prowses from at least four different lines buried in the churchyard? Or that Judge, Daniel Woodley Prowse penned, with the help of his son, 1895's A History of Newfoundland? How many of you know that Newfoundland was the oldest British Colony, that its discovery by the Europeans predates Columbus by hundreds of years when the Vikings arrived, and that Newfoundland only became part of Canada in 1949?

Anyway, that's a bit of a sneak peek - hope you'll join us in September for the whole presentation.

Cheers and all the best in 2025!
