Ellis Family

Welcome graphic

Some families know a great deal about their roots; others know very little. This site is an attempt to record what I've learned about our family history. In these modern times, families tend to be scattered all over the country, if not the world. One of the goals of this web site is to help our family stay connected even though we live far apart.

On this page I'll provide a little information about who I am and what inspired me to do this research. Most of this information was probably obtained from talking to living relatives and from researching public records. In the course of doing this research, I've discovered that I have many more relatives than I ever thought possible!
My name is Rene Fontaine and I started doing the research on the Ellis family because of several reasons but the most important is the fact that future generations will  not loose a sense of where they come from and so that they know where we are going in the future.
This is a work in progress, so please contact me if you have any information that might help round out the picture.

Acknowledgments

I would like to Thank Great Aunt Alice Ellis of Biggar for her endless work on the Ellis family. She has provided me with a lot of information and from there I discovered many difrent things.
I would also like to thank Great Uncle Hugh for passed away but he too was very much involved in the history of the Ellis family. I know that he looks down on us and smiles.

Please get in touch and let me know what you think of my site.
