The contribution of Alexander Hamilton Church (1866–1936) to accounting and management science is well known. Yet his biographers (Urwick and Wolf, 1984; Vangermeersch, 1988) found that his family and early life were enigmas. This paper opens the curtains drawn by Church and reveals details of his notable ancestry and his early life, including his first six months in the United States and Canada.
