The Education and Programming Assistant with the Huron County Museum is looking for some help from the public for an exhibit on migration.
Sinead Cox explains the exhibit is called Migration Stories and covers families who migrated to Huron County between 1840 and 2007 and focuses in seven specific families who arrived at different times within that period.
Cox points out for some of the more recent immigrants getting information on the family was relatively easy because they could talk to family members but for some of the first families it was more difficult and that's where Cox is asking for help.
She explains they're looking for a photograph of the woman featured in the first exhibit.
Her name is Agnes McIlwain and she and her husband Samuel came from northern Ireland to Goderich Township in 1840.
Cox adds she gave birth to her first son on the two-month trip over to Goderich Township and her maiden name was Johnson.
She adds it was a fairly large family so she's hoping to hear from any relatives of Agnes McIlwain who might have a picture of her.
Cox can be reached at the Huron County Museum at 524-2686.
Cox adds the Migration Stories exhibit is an interactive exhibit about seven specific families and their hope that it will encourage other people to tell their stories about immigrating to Huron County.
The exhibit is scheduled to open on April 7th at the Huron County Museum in Goderich.
