Ethyl M. Steele Thompson's purpose in penning this manuscript was to list by family all descendants of John Steele, who came from Scotland to Canada to reside until his death, in 1899, in Asphodel Township, Peterborough County, Province of Ontario, Canada. The genealogy begins with Robert Steel, who, with his wife and family, emigrated from Scotland to Canada. This manuscript is unsourced, and large portions may come from the personal knowledge of its author, especially those contemporaneous with its publication.

My maiden name is Steele. I come from a large family in Edinburgh, Scotland. My Dad , John Steele, was one of 10 siblings. There were 5 brothers and 5 sisters. All the men have kept the surname, although sadly, 3 of the men including my father have passed away. I don’t know a lot of the history of my family, I just know there are a lot of us. I would love to find out anything I can about our heritage.
