Donalda's Roots and Branches

Donalda & District Museum is collecting family stories for a possible future update of the local history book, Donalda's Roots and Branches, which was published in 1980.

If you or your family have ever lived in Donalda or the surrounding area, or if you had a business here, whether you were here for a year or for a century, we'd like to know your story.

We would also like to have copies of funeral programs, newspaper obituaries, or other newspaper articles about former residents, as these are often very good sources of information about people who are no longer able to tell their own stories.

No publication date has yet been set for a new book, but we feel it is important to have as much information as possible available before beginning. It would be a sad loss to history, and to your family, if your stories are not preserved for the future.

Please contact the museum office if you can help. Or download a list of questions to help guide your story-writing. (A new window will open.)
