Dedicated to my son, Philip, I thought my German relatives story would be one of fleeing the wars and cold of 1709, when at the invitation of Queen Anne they came to England and as refugees were resettled in Ireland and farmed. End of story. Not so! The stories of Philip Guier, Christopher Switzer and Garnett Miller, these three grandparents, will be intertwined until they reach America shores and eventually influence the story of the settlement of Canada.
