The Poultney Family
Updated October 31, 2008

This Poultney family has it's origins in Southern Africa when the first ancestors arrived in Algoa Bay as emigrants from England with the 1820 Settlers
 and after five generations in South Africa moved to what was then Southern Rhodesia. Having gone through the trials of the changes from
Rhodesia to Zimbabwe we moved in 1988 and settled in Canada where we have our home in Spruce Grove, Alberta.

On Monday April 10, 2006 we welcomed son, nephew and grandson, Cai Jace, into the world.
He has been an incredible blessing and brings us much joy. A very happy, big boy who is being raised by
Jenny and Gordon while Johanna studies and gains experience to become a paramedic.
