What is "Tilson/Tillson connections" all about.
It
is a place to deposit information about our family - history, current events,
planned activities, awards, memorials, and other things of interest across the
family. You tell me what you would like here
and I'll do my best to get it done.
We
have also established a Tilson
Family Facebook Wall and Group

writes - Are there any more Tilson members that are horse
people? Considering that the family crest has a horse's head on the top of
it....I would say it is likely that being a horse breeder , has been in the
family for generations? I would love to make contact with anyone else who is a
breeder/trainer , etc...thanks.
Bruce and I breed , and raise a rare breed
of very gentle horses called "American Bashkir Curlies " that are
also "hypo-allergenic." ..Please come to the Royal Winter Agriculture Fair [in the Fed
Nor Pavilion] this Nov 5th/15th in Toronto's exhibition grounds /to
visit Bruce at our booth...He would love to meet more family
members.. Marlene
Wilma Brock writes - Just thought you might know of someone
who is thinking of coming to New Zealand the year after next. If so and
they are interested in machinery they might like to read about the rally we are
planning in 2011. Also at that time there is a big celebration of gold
mining in the Lawrence area so we are planning our event around that as well. Contact Wilma at - mailto:mxwltn@ispnz.co.nz
