    I visited Magog this past summer was surprised how much it had changed to a tourist town with its main street resturants and the boats tied up in the river which I used to swim down from the Tennis court to home keeping to the right of the big rock going a ashore by the Company Blocks.
    Still call Magog my home town after spending most of my life in Europe and different parts of Canada and I retired in BC.

    My Hoyt family lived in Magog (Joseph Hoyt ) No. 5 16th Range of Bolton, now Magog, Quebec, Canada Your area is so beautiful. Joseph was loyal to England and is buried in Magog somewhere. Some of his children stayed in the area, others came back to America with their mother when Joseph died. Am proud of our family Canadian background. sincerely, gerry hoyt11

    Linda Di Domenico if your family members were Catholic the Catholic church in Magog will have records of birth. My father was able to trace my family all the way back to the 1600″s.

    You can try checking the cemetery. It’s always a good place to start. You can also ask people at church, they have many records that can help you track down what you’re looking for.

    I have recently discovered that family members lived in Magog in and around 1901 to 1911. If I make my way to Magog is there anywhere there where I could track their records; address, occupations etc?

    Hello, I am from Newfoundland and Labrador. Son of Anne Connor Sheppard. My grandparents cottage is located in Austin on Sergeant Bay of Memphremagog. While looking through things to do on the Magog Site, i noticed the name Billy Connor. Who is related to our family one way or another. My mother has told me his legendary story of swimming the lake many times. I love this lakes history. Summer 2013 will be a blast.

    Cheers

    During the summer of 2008, my wife and daughters visited Magog for lunch, and sightseeing. Needless to say, we enjoyed our visit, especially the friendliness of the shop owners/bistro staff. I look forward to another visit. SIncerely, Tom Tuchler
