This page is dedicated to all members of the Bachelder family who have resided in Canada or who have links and ties both to the north and south of the border. It is hoped that we will be able to feature stories and photos of several of our very inventive and restless ancestors as this page evolves. Contributions and corrections from fellow researchers who may have a link to this family are welcomed.
