Puslinch Today

Did your heritage family “come over on the boat” in the 16, 17, or 1800s? Were they some of the original pioneers who carved out a life in Wellington County? Was your family part of the Dutch immigration after the Second World War? Is your background of the Mennonite faith – or any other religion that makes Wellington County a unique mix of traditions?
