Genealogy with a Canadian Twist April 2021 Webinar: Genealogy Detective








Genealogy with a Canadian Twist April Webinar


We are putting our research skills to the test for this interactive webinar about The Case of the Jilted Jealous Boyfriend. 
 
A young married couple were attacked on their honeymoon by the bride's boyfriend, Billy Bennett, who had been jilted, and was insanely jealous. 
Our panelists will be joining us to discuss the case and help us find some answers about the people involved in this 1917 murder that took place near Ottawa, Ontario.
