I am researching in Ontario and Quebec. The main line I am looking for is Fortin. My ggfather came to the US but I don't know his parents names. Oh Joy...I am just getting into the Canadian genealogy so any help in that area and where to write would be deeply appreciated. Lost and looking Debbie Lalonde Smith

I am just getting started with my French Canadian roots. Veilleux family in St. Francois, Beauce, Quebec, Canada. My branch moved to Bangor, Penobscot, Maine, USA before 1865. GG-Grandfather Joseph Veilleux (1865-1941) was born 28 July 1865 in Bangor, Maine. He married Josephine Marie Tiebault (Thebeau) in 1889 in Bangor, Maine. My Great-Grandmother, Marie Emily Veilleux Hermanson (1890-1988) was born in Bangor as well. The family is in Minneapolis, Minnesota by 1900.

Also the family of Laura Bridget Poulin (1844-1922) who I believe may have also been born in St. Francois, Beauce, Quebec

I am looking in Ontario and Quebec. The Lemay family, Gregoire and Adelaine are my grandparents. And the Cain/Kane family. Peter Cain/Kane was listed in the 1901 census as Kane, then in the 1911 census as Cain. He is my great grandfather from the area of Quyon, Quebec.

I've been researching my family for 60 years, but the Canadian branches for only about 30. My research is mostly in Ontario, although I've done a little in Saskatchewan and Alberta. I have Aungers, Browns, Dafoes, Pringles, Holcombes, Youngs, Merriams, Stanburys, Wrights. My earliest came to Canada as UE from New York (Palatines). More recently, my gg grandfather, went to Canada from Cornwall, England in 1852. He had a large family. There were seven children of his first marriage. Then his wife died and he married again, and had 5 more children. The descendents of many of his first family came to the U.S. Many descendents of his second family remain in Canada to this day, mostly in Hastings, Peterborough, and Northumberland Counties, Ontario. I live in California.

I'm researching FLAVEN/FLAVAN/FLAVIN and FLAHAVEN/FLAHAVEN and O'FLAVIN / O'FLAHAVEN and other variations in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. So far I have them in Memramcook, Dorchester,Kings co. NB in 1861 & 1871 censuses and births of children in parish records there. The censuses say born in Nova Scotia and that's where I'm trying to find them now, no luck as yet, perhaps that info on censuses was incorrect? There are a few Flavin's (various spellings) in N.S. I just haven't been able to connect mine to them as yet.
I'm also researching Cleversey in Nova Scotia, they came from England (I'm told) originally and some immigrated to the USA, including my ggrandfather Angus. Cleversey has also been spelled with lots of variations including Clevercey, Clevercy, Cleversay, Cleversy and others.

Hi Lisa,
You might try searching the many records for New Brunswick found at this site: http://globalgenealogy.com/links/canada-nb.htm There are some great links to newspapers, birth, marriage and death records at the New Brunswick Archives, which links off of it. Also it shows which sites are free to search on and which you have to pay for. Good luck in your search!
