Hey Thomas the Rhymer,

Its Mojo Willie Rymer here and I host a blues and soul concert series in the Niagara Region. My ancestors immigrated from the city of York sometime in the 1840's to Upper Canada. Thomas the Rhymer was a Norman laird who lived up in the border country and it was claimed that he had oracular powers and couuld turn quite a poetic phrase, hense his name. A distant cousin of mine, who belongs to the Cambridge histrical society, claims Thomas to be the originator of our family name. Is your surname name now spelt Rymer, Thomas? Perhaps we are distant cousins too!

Cheers,
Mojo Willie
