Thunder Bay

The Currie family's roots in Thunder Bay (formerly Port Arthur and Fort William) are surprisingly light.

Jack Currie's mother Annie Snook's parents were from Port Arthur, but it's not clear how far back their history in the town goes. Alex did marry Annie in Port Arthur, however.

Jack Currie moved to Port Arthur with his family in 1954. However, his two older sons had moved away by the time they were at university in the 1970s. Only Jack's youngest son Ron stayed for the rest of his life.

Ron's children Michael and Carolyn left town at 18 and 30, respectively.

This leaves only Ronald and his wife Mary Ann carrying the torch in the town Michael was raised in.
