I was born in the village of Bright, June 13,1940. My father and his father were also born in Bright on the family farm which we believe to be located on Lot 11, Concession 11, current day address:885725 Oxford Rd. 8. My maternal grandfather Elias Zinkan resided also in Bright after retiring from farming in Drumbo. My mother told me that I was delivered by a Doctor who resided in Bright...Is there any chance, I could learn the name of this Doctor or are you aware of someone I could contact for this information. Thank you

I would like to find out a little more about the bright store. I've searched the Internet and can't find anything. I've been lead to believe that the house I own in bright is the old general store. Thanks, Megan
