Ancestors in the Attic - jeff.legault - 12-22-2007
Be sure to tune in tonight to Ancestors in the Attic on the history channel at 6:30 (EST). A while back I submitted a story about my Great Grandfather Matthew Whelan, a former St Columban resident.
He worked as a blacksmith on Parliament Hill during it's original construction particulary on the iron doors leading into the Library of Parliament. The story will unfold on the show about the library and how my grandfather may have played a small role in saving it from the great fire of 1916. That's the family legend.
If you miss tonight's episode it will air again on Dec 26th at 8:p.m.
