That is what we pay for our family organizations Genealogy and history book.
As I recall the local history book which goes into greater depth of my families history and most specifically, my dad's history, cost us $49.00
I have not looked but no doubt there is some sort of record of family members in the Canadian history archives. I do know that there is a considerable amount written in Canadian history about one close family member. After all he is recorded as one of the fathers of confederation.

A thread that binds us all together. And the thread is very strong these days.
How does one put a price on family unity?
