I am looking for information on Gabriel Vogel (abt1815-1885) arrived in the Maryhill, Ontario area abt1833 from Rust, Ortenaukreis, Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. Gabriel's wife was Maria Anna Reinhardt. Also his father Georg Vogel/Vougle, Gabriel's son George and George's son Albert Vogel. Any information on his wife is also greatly appreciated.

Interests: Nickell/Ramsay in Esquesing Twp, Halton Co Ont; Roszel/Vanatter in Wellington Co. Ont. I love Canadian genealogy. They are very generous with their vital records. Brick Wall: William Nickell b. 1792 in Ireland, m. Margaret Ramsay(?) b. in Ireland/Scotland. Lots of info on their descendants, but ascendants...NO. Have collected info on Halton Co, and much on the family of John Ramsay, Jr., of Nassagaweya twp and Eramosa twp, who turned out to be the wrong family! Still keep an eye out for them as I got attached. In need of clues to proceed.

My great grandfather George Alfred Peters was born on a sailing ship off
Canada in 1884. They landed in St John and he was given Canadian
citizenship - or so the story goes. I believe George's father, John
Alfred Peters, was a sea captain - this information is from George's
marriage registration. The family story is that John Alfred Peters was
born in Scotland and went to Norway where he married (wife is unknown
(possible Nina?)) and was given a sailing vessel by her father. I have not yet been able to find any trace of either John or George other than George's marriage registration.

If George was given citizenship would he appear in the New Brunswick
birth register? I can't seem to find him there.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Many thanks

Hi, I am looking for the families of Wilson, Chalmers, Steele, Little. They are from Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, as far as I know. Can anyone help me? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Robin:
I'm wondering which Yeoman and Kennedy lines you're looking for. My maternal line includes the Kennedy clan from Ireland; and Youmans (a possible variant of your name) from Lennox & Addington County to Peterborough County, Ontario.

My interpretation of a "journalier" as an occupation is an unskilled day labourer. The term journalier is also used to describe the daily newspaper.

Probably the equivalent of the English "journeyman"; someone who worked for someone else for pay rather than for himself. People became journeymen after they had served an apprenticeship until such time as they could become a master craftsman or tradesman. "Journalier" would be more specific if it means "day labourer".

a term they still use. my husband was an ironworker and after rhey served their apprenticeship they became journeyman/journeymen.

Nobody would like to think of their ancestors as being unskilled labourers but reality is that the French, as hard workers as they were, at the turn of the century may have been predominately uneducated and therefore unskilled labourers know as a “journalier”.

Looks like this is a pretty young site, but with lots of potential. I figure I might as well see where it takes me. I have a lot of connections to Canada in my family, even myself being born there although raised in USA. I lived on border first 20 years of my life and it never felt like another country to me, I was waved through the border LOL THAT does not happen now...St. Vincent Memories - that is my website about my hometown history and the history of many of the people from there. it's an ongoing project with hundreds of posts...it's been a literal labor of love...

From the online Collins French-English Dictionary at http://dictionary.reverso.net/french-english/journalier
A Journalier is a day labourer.

Interesting that in Canada one is a day labourer and in the USA they are known as day laborers. Are we both correct in our spelling of labour/labor?

Yes, Ray, we are both correct. Canadian follow the British spelling traditions, while the Americans created new spelling traditions during the time of the American Revolution. Much, if not all, of these traditions were created by Daniel Webster, I believe. (The American ones I mean).

labour=labor, neighbour=neighbor etc. The ones with the 'u' are the British / Canadian spelling and the other the American spelling, both are correct.

Looking to trace the family of James "Jim" Gadsy.
Born in St. Catherines, Ontario on 3 December 1847. Father's name is William, he worked as a blacksmith. Jim left Ontario when he was young, went to the U.S. and eventually settled in Alberta. There is a mention of a sister visiting him from Ontario.

Maggie, it's a big country, with lots and lots of people. We are going to have to narrow this down a bit. Who are you looking for, when were they there and where in Saskatchewan did or do they live...

Carolyn

the surname I am looking for the Sabourin they live in moose jaw

This is probably the easiest way to go...

http://www.canada411.ca/

If that doesn't work, try a search for a local public library in Moose Jaw and ask them (probably via email) if they can do a search in the local telephone books. Good Luck.

i am into getting pictrue of there graves

Then you want to look for a genealogy or local history society in the area that might have indexed and/or photographed the local cemataries. I will check into this myself and see if I can find anything.

i have found the cemeterys they are in

Then send a request to the genealogy/local history society for someone to take the pictures. You could also leave a message in the Rootsweb discussion board for Moose Jaw or Saskatchewan.

i did thanks

Lorraine, I have access to some newspaper clippings that mention the Estevan, Sk. miners' struggle of 1931 (the strike and riot). I could peruse for you. What type of information are you interested in? General or specific?

I joined this group because I live in Alberta, Canada. I have access to ancestry.com, newspaperarchive.com, Familysearch and numerous local (Canadian, Upper States, Icelandic) historical books. I am willing to try to locate information for other members and hope in return I might glean some more info on my own roots. ;)

My great grandmother Margaret Whittier Worth died at Victoria General Hospital In Nova Scotia in 1908. Does any one know if it's possible to still obtain any medical records on her if so how would I go about it.

Curious, how many people looking for info here don't have access to the Ancestry.ca info?
