The Berczy
Settlers
| Have you ever taken a look at your community? A really good look? Have you ever wondered how it came to exist, or wondered about the people who lived here long ago? |
Who was William Moll Berczy?
|
 |
Why do we care about the things that happened in 1794?
| If we recognize that the way a community looks, the name it has, and its very existence depends on the actions and lives of those who have gone before us, then William Berczy, and those people we call the Berczy Settlers, are very important to Markham. |
| Explore the remarkable story of the
Berczy Settlers through this illustrated book: "German Pioneers of Toronto and Markham Township: The Story of William Moll Berczy" * Reproduced with the generous permission of the Historical Society of Mecklenburg Upper Canada. It should be noted that the image used on the cover of this work was believed at the time of publication to represent William Berczy. Subsequent research determined that the image was not Berczy. |
