Are there descendants of, or others interested in; 1730's Canadian marines Capt. Antoine de Tonty (di Tonti) and aide Maj. Charles Pierre de Liette (di Lietti) killed in combat against Chickasaws, First Battle of Ackia, Tupelo, Mississippi Military District? I descend their kinsman from Mobile, Alabama, marine aide Maj. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan (his mother was Mdm. Michelle de Liette de Juzan "of the King's cabins", Versailles, France) who was killed at the First Battle of Ackia. He wed the daughter of Maj. Francoise Trudeau from Canada,  who 1702 built old up-river Mobiles's first fort and 1704 wed Canadian Etienne Burel's "Pelican Girl" daughter, who's mother by her earlier first marriage, was a Canadian "King's Daughter".

Anyone out there doing research on the Cormans ? I need to find a date of death for Nellie Beatrice Corman Patterson. She was my great grandmother. The last record I have is a photo of her dated 1947 from Longbranch in Toronto. She was with her son John who died in 1949. Nellie had a brother named Andrew who was a WW1 veteran and I'd like to find his date of death. Nellie was a descendant of Isaac Corman of Stoney Creek fame.

I am researching Hugh Patterson in Pehlam.He was born in Scotland in 1825 and came to Canada by the 1840's. His wife was Margaret McCullum, born in 1836. I have a fair amount of information on Hugh's descendants. Need to find the names of Hugh's parents and where he was buried. I think he died in 1897.

I'm researching the Atells (Stephen, Mary and Lucy) in Saskatchewan. They were dairy farmers in the late 19th century. Lucy was born around 1901 in Makado or Mikado. Her father died by 1921.

Hi everyone,

I need help finding my birth family. I met my birth mother, but would also like to go beyond that and find my birth grandmother's family. My grandmother could still be alive as she would be 80 this year. I have no surname to work with. However, this is what I do have....

She was born in Saskatchewan in 1931..

Was of French Canadian Descent, also possibly Metis (Mic Mac) 5’2, 134lbs, medium complexion.

Had brown hair, brown eyes and attractive teeth. She was a member of the Roman Catholic Church.

She enjoyed hockey, baseball, reading, knitting and embroidery, and worked as a waitress and later on in domestic service.

(I don't know if they met in Saskatchewan or in Sarnia, Ontario)*She probably never spoke of this to other family members...

 In 1950 she met a man(birth Grandfather was born in 1928) with Green eyes, Blonde hair and fair skin, 5’11, 160lbs,

He did not want to marry my pregnant grandmother.(that’s what the paper says!)

He was described as Canadian and Protestant. He worked in construction.Interest’s baseball and woodcraft.

My grandmother then gave up the baby in Sarnia, Ontario in 1951. Born Aug 3.

I've been tested at 23andme. I'm of the Haplogroup A2f1a. I have a bit of Native in me as well.

If anyone thinks they can help me, or thinks this story sounds familiar, please don't hesitate to contact me. Thank you

The Canadian Parent family also had an old Mobile, Alabama, branch.  I descend "Don Pedro", Jean Pierre Gabriel Francois de Juzan, His Spanish Majesty's Indian Commissioner to Alabama, and DAR ally "Patriot", as he ran Spanish service agents amongst the Indians against British agents amongst the Indians in the American Revolution. His father was French Marine aide Maj. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan, kin of French-Italian Canadians, aide Maj. Charles Pierre de Liette, Capt. Antoine de Tonty, Henri de Tonty (founder of Mobile) and Baron Alphonse de Tonty. Gen. Luke Finley, Sr., and I believe we descend Don Pedro's wife Marie Henriette Rochon, daughter of Charles Rochon, Sr., of Canada. However other kin and good researchers believe we descend wife Catherine Marie Parent, daughter of Francois and Marguerite Catherine Binet Parent of Canada.  Francois the son of Jacques and Genevieve Louis Chevalier. Jacques the son of Pierre and Jeanne Parent, Sr.  He the son of Andre and Marie Coudrey Parent. Does this "ring any bells" with you? The head of the French FBI is, or was, a Parent.
