Have you ever struggled to distinguish between two people with the same name in the same place?

If so, you'll appreciate an article about two Richard Condons. Both were Peter Robinson Settlers, an “assisted emigration” scheme which brought 307 Irish to County Peterborough, Ontario, Canada.

Which Richard Condon’s biography was published in a church history? Elizabeth Reynolds Moye tackles multiple sources in Ontario and Britain, even British Parliamentary Papers, to find the answer. Join the author on the research trail through Ontario: 

Elizabeth Reynolds Moye, “The Identities of Two Richard Condons of Peterborough County, Ontario, Canada,” National Genealogical Society Quarterly 110:1 (March 2022) pp. 39-52.

This issue can be found at the Minnesota Genealogy Center Hoffman Research Library in Mendota Heights, Minnesota. Check the MGS website for hours.
