| Title |
The Elder Family: Medical Achievement and Historical Adventure
|
| Abstract |
The author outlines a genealogical history of the Elder family, from the arrival in the Huntingdon area in 1813 of his paternal great-great-grandfather, George Elder, from Scotland to the roles played by his father John, grandfather, John Elder, and great grandfather, Herbert Elder, in the provision of medical services to the Canadian Army during both world wars. He also recounts the story of his maternal great-great-great grandfather, William Robertson, who had come to Canada from Scotland in 1805 and established a medical practice in Montreal and subsequently was named the District of Montreal’s medical examiner. Robertson was a co-founder of the McGill University Faculty of Medicine and also served as the Chief Magistrate for the City of Montreal in the 1830s.
