i do not have ancestry

I think that in requests for information, that would be handy to know. Some of us do have access, and could possibly help out when time permits.

Otherwise, I'd assume that help is required because of hitting a brick wall :)

No I don't have ancestry and will likely never have it as I do not like what they are doing. On the other hand, I have no issues with going to my friendly neighbourhood public library and using their copy!

Hello looking to connect with families researching Houghton families of Upper Canada
Grandparents Asa and Rebecca "Conklin " Houghton

Asa I believed lived with his mother's brother Jonathan Gleason in Haldimand , Ontario . He later married Rebecca Conklin daughter of Joshua W Conklin . The children of Asa and Rebecca : Permelia , Esther , Hiram , Joshua , Caroline, Rebecca .., Permelia married Joseph Thompson .., Esther married Moses Moore .., Caroline married Ed Wood .., Rebecca married William McCracken .., Joshua married Miranda Button .., Hiram unknown at this time anyone researching this family would love to hear from you .

Donna :)

Carolyn, I agree. I hate Ancestry, but right now I need it. Unfortunately, I can't afford the world subscription so I can't look up the few family details I need from England and the US. Wonder what kind of access the local library here has...

I have access to the census records on US Ancestry.com and would be willing to trade lookups for someone with access to Ancestry.CA.


Cheryl

Where abouts are you Victoria? If you are in Canada, it should be good. If there is a local genealogy or family history organization around you, they might also have a library subscription to it.

WHAT DO YOU NEED IN CANADA

John,

Trying to find an obit for my husband's grandfather and great grandparents.

Edward Henry Jones d. Oct. 1970 Rockton, Ontario, Canada
John Thomas Jones d. March 1952 Toronto - buried Prospect Cemetery
Jessie (Hayes) Jones d. Nov. 1944 Toronto - buried Prospect Cemetery

I'd be thrilled with any of the above. I also have a feeling that John (who was born in 1880) probably had to either serve or at least sign up for military service for WWI.

Cheryl

I'm in BC, and have access to Ancestry.ca at home. Just need some info from the US and UK versions.

This family comes from ONTARIO, Canada area. O yes Letitia was Mary Letitia CAnby..

Anyone with data to help my cousin and I find our link we would appreicate it.

Where are your Basque family located. My sister married into the Busque family of northern Alberta

John TRUCHON b 19 Mar 1829/32 possibly in Terrebonne, PQ area. His mother's name on death cert was Mary Ann BASQUE/ PASQUE. ...
I have received an email that some Basquese changed it to Bastarache. There were many in New Brunswick. Also Mary Ann was probably Marie Ann.

Not sure if Roger et al would know that far back, but I will check into it. Good Hunting!

Thank you for your response.

Regarding Canadian SCOTTs, query,,, My Thomas Scott found in Pittsylvania Co VA was born around 1730?? he disappears around 1770. Children start to scatter by 1790. Was he from Canada, someone thought NY, others thought different and most have no idea. Distant kin's line proven to 1841 in

Looking for Davey, Allward, Hoffman

Greetimgs from Southport, North Carolina: I descend an early New England couple married Fort Louisburg?, Nova Scotia, when the New Englanders invaded there, but I doubt they count as Canadians. I think he drowned there too.

I have several early, defunct up-river Mobile, Alabama, lineages such as Canadian marine Maj. Francois Trudeau who 1702 built early Mobile's first fort and 1704 wed "Pelican Girll" Jeanne Louis Burel. Her two "Pelican Girl" sisters wed Mobile, ex French Canadians also.

Their father Etienne Burel had been banished from Canada for calling it's governor corrupt. After a hearing in France substained him, he and wife (Canadian "King's Daughter", Mme. Marguerite Roussel Ducheron) were chaperones of 27 ex-French covenant girls to Mobile to wed French marines.

Mme. Burel/Ducheron's parents were Jean-Baptiste Roussel and Louise Memi. Etienne's, pastry cook and old Mobile's first inn keeper, were Pierre Burel and Jeanne Vanier. Maj. Trudeau's were Etienne Trudeau and Adrienne Barbier, daughter of Gilbert Barbier and Catherine de La Veau, Etienne's were Francois Trudeau and Catherine Matinier. Etienne's Montreal fortified stone home is now, I believe, the eatery Auberge Le Saint-Gabriel, depuis 1754, at 426 rue St-Gabriel, Montreal.

My Maj. Trudeau's (I descend daughter Marie Francoise Trudeau who wed French marine aide Maj. Pierre Gabriel de Juzan, killed in combat against Chickasaws, 1730's First Battle of Ackia, Tupelo, Missisippi Military District; his kin killed Second Battle were Canadian marines aide Maj. Charles Pierre de Liette and Capt. Antoine de Tonty (brother Baron Alphonse de Tonty owned Etienne Trudeau's home a while; brother Henri de Tonty is considered a founder of today's Mobile, their father "invented" the di Tonti system of insurence, his wife a di Lietti, I think. Maj. Juzan's mother, Michelle de Liette) were killed Second Battle of Ackia.

Maj. Trudeau's son or grandson, Spanish cavalry service LtCol Zenon Trudeau's old home, "Brulatour Courtyard", 520 Royal Street, still stands in the New Orleans French Quarter. He was later Lt. Gov. of Upper Louisiana at St. Louis (MO). Old "Don Pedro's" widowed young last wife, returned to her Canadian parent's home, the still standing "Spanish Customs House", St. John's Bayou, New Orleans.

DNA research indcates I am incorrect (wrong wife) in my former belief I descended Canadian Jean Baptiste Colon dit La Violette by his Kaskaskia Illini wife who's grandchild, Marie Henrette Rochon wed my Pierre Francois Gabriel de Juzan, His Spanish Majesty's Indian Commissioner to Alabama. A genealogist long said my lineage was via wife Catherine Parent but a Native American genealogist whom I also respect, said Parent had no issue.

What I do know is "Don Pedro's" (DAR ally Patriot?, as he ran Spanish service agents amongst the Indians, against British agents amongst the Indians) daughter Mme. Marie Josephine de Juzan Hollinger's (tomb behind Mobile Public Library, says she lived Mobile under four flags; buried near her, son-in-law U.S. Senator, Col. George Washington Owen, Mayor of Mobile, who's daughter wed Adm. Semmes of the CSS Alabama, Gen. Luke W. Finley, Sr., and Adm. Oliver Semmes, descs. (Josephine alledgedly escorted Gen. Lafayette at the Mobile ball).

Daughter Margeriet Hollinger of Hollinger's Island off modern Mobile, wed my Col. Gilbert Christian Russell, Sr., 1815 3rd U.S. Infantry, for whom Russell County, Alabama is named. His wife's stepmother was the daughter of Creek Chief Samuel 'Sam" Moniac, Sr.

Col. Russell was the mentor of his wife's step-brother, 5th U.S. Infantry, Lt. David Moniac, West Point's first Native American graduate. Maj. David Moniac, Alabama Mounted Creek Volunteers (dragoons?) in U.S. service, was killed at the Battle of Wahoo Swamp, Florida, Second Seminole War, over 50 bullets in his corps. I applied for his memorial stone at Bushnel National Cemetery, and gratis the U.S. government inscribed on the obverse, Gen. Jesup's (think he disliked Indians?) remark that David was "As brave as any man who has drawn a sword and faced the enemy").

A David Moniac descendant tells me David's remains were removed Bushnell. David had first been buried with others in the swamp road, the only high ground, and buried several more times. His father Chief Moniac had an Episcopal service for him, which is why I applied for the Episcopal cross rather than Native American spiritual symbol.

Traditionally it is said that David is in a mass grave under one or two small pyramids at the lovely little St. Augustine, Fla., National Cemetery. I originally tried to get him a memorial stone only a few paces from the mass graves, sans his name. Saying he was entiled to a named gravestone or memorial stone. And there was an enjoining gravestone row with a small bush in the row at which if removed, David's stone could go, to complete that row. But St. Augustine's was then, a long "Closed" cemetery.

Does Canada supply memorial stones to fallen Canadian marines such as Maj. de Liette and Capt. de Tonty. The Ackia battle site is a U.S. National Park I believe, and if the stones were not permitted there, a nearby Catholic church might accept them?

Ditto, does France supply memorial stones for it's fallen in combat marines of foreign (then French?) soil, such as Maj. de Juzan?

As far as I know, Canadian marine Maj. Trudeua's grave is now unknown, does Canada supply memorial stones for for it's marines who died afield in service? If his memorial stone could not be placed near Mme. Hollinger's, perhaps the old Mobile Catholic church would accept it? What are the rules on Canadian marine memorial stones fallen in combat, or died whilst in it's service beyond Canada?

Maj. de Liette, Maj. de Juzan, and Capt. de Tonty, after their deaths were alledgedly considered for the French, Order of St. Louis; but no pension of that Order was awarded their widows, that I know of.

Jim

P.S. Though then the only civil servant in a class of U.S. Marines, the USMC helped me get my BS in Aviation--go US Marines. In that class was a male American born black Marine married to a black U.S. Marine, still a citizen of Bermuda (love Bermuda); I asked if she had three years in the USMC. "Yes!" I pointed out then she could become a U.S. citizen? She said "Hummmmmph; and NOT BE ONE OF HER MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS!".

I understood: two of my ancestors Capt. Philip Yonge, and his father, the Hon. Henry Yonge, Sr., were Loyalists. Both had been Surveyor-Generals of Georgia, and by publication, banished from Georgia upon pain of death should they return; to British East Florida, where Philip's brother, Maj. Henry Yonge, Jr., was H.M. Attorney-General of British East Florida, and as such, annulled the indentures of 1,000 wrongfully enslaved New Smyrna Beach, Fla., Menorcans; and with Philip, commanded a company of them at St. Augustine.

Henry Sr. went from British East Florida, to the Bahamas, and died in England (per his Loyalist Claims)--all "British controlled territory". Decades ago I applied to join the United Empire Loyalist on their banished Loyalist service in "British controlled territory" which I thought was more territory than just Canada. Their Loyalty to "British controlled territory" was not good enough; only Canada counted as "British controlled territory". Sorry, their Loyalty does not count. Exclusive Canadian "British controled territory" only Loyalists, not inclusive Loyalists; the UEL.

Henry Sr's dad was the Hon. Francis Yonge, Lords Proprietor's Surveyor-General of the Bahamas, Carolinas, and Georgia. Henry Sr. had been born Lisborn, Portugal, when his father Francis, was H.M. Commissioner of Ordnance for the fortification of Giobraltar. He was of the Cayton, Salop, Yorkshire, England, "Army" Yonges. The more distinguished "Navy" Yonges are from Portsmouth, England.

My late grandfather was Edw. Yonge Wootten of 11 S. Third St., Wilmington, N.C. (across from Lord Cornwallis House), his Hill-Wright-Wootten home, rebuilt 1802 after the 1799 city fire. It was there before the sidewalk that went around it. All but I, gone; and age 66; I soon too. No descendants. "Adieu"!

In reply to James Alfred Locke Miller Jr. re: Louisbourg.
Hi James;
You state that you descend from an early New England couple married in Fort Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, when the New Englanders invaded. Do you know which time? Louisbourg was 'invaded' twice. once in 1745 and later returned to France and again in 1758 and destroyed by the British Sappers.
There are a few websites for the Fortress of Louisbourg. For genealogy etc try this one http://fortress.uccb.ns.ca/ for general info try one of these http://www.louisbourg.ca/fort/ or http://www.fortressoflouisbourg.ca/ the folks in Louisbourg are quite friendly, I should know, my mom was born and raised there!

hi. I am searching in Quebec for the family of Gagnon tht came from France. My my gggrandfather was the first in my line to come to the United States, (Ohio) from Canada.

I am looking for some one who lives in willow bunch sask who could take some digtail pictures for me

I am searching for information on James Thompson. He imigrated from Ireland with his brother, to Canada. Where they separated and lost track of one another. James married some time in the late 1840's or early 50's to Dinah, I believe her maiden name may have been Byron. They were both born in the early 1820's. Their first child was William, born in 1853, Ontario, probably in Elizabethtown, Brockville. I believe James died prior to the 1881 census. I have located them in the 1871 census, before that not having much luck. Would like to find the links back to Ireland.

Maggie, check out www.raogk.org (Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness) and see if there is anyone in that area to help you with your pictures.

i have check there and yes there are people in sask but not in the town i want

Hi Maggie;
Here's an alternative way to possibly find someone willing to take some pictures.
There is a Saskatchewan Geocaching group at http://www.saskcachers.com/news.php , if you click on the contact me link and fill out the forum asking if the Admin could forward your request to his members. I am not a member of this group, but I did have some success on another geocaching site for a lady on another genealogy site.
Geotagging is becoming popular with photographers and genealogists to mark gravesite pictures, so contacting someone who geocaches is, to me, a natural progression. You might have to wait until the snow is gone.
Good luck in your search.

Hello,

I am researching my family roots in Quebec.
As usual I run out of info from time to time and needs to seek assistance

My 5th great grandfather on my mother's side was Henry Urquhart who came to Canada from Scotland with his Wife Jane Watt around 1842.

They came to Montreal and spent the rest of there lives living on Prince St.
I know they had 3 children Alexander, Euphemia and J. (John or James but not sure yet). After that it is a little vague. If anyone knows of any connections, please let me know

Thank you

Hi
I am researching a branch of family who went from Australia to Ladysmith in Canada in 1895.

James NELSON (born Scotland 1857) married Janet (sp varies) BURGESS (born Maitland NSW 1867).

The first of their children were born in Australia (Mary Elizabeth 1889, Angelina 1891, Janet 1892 and James 1894)

The next 6 children were born in BC Canada (Thomas 1898, Margaret 1900, Hewitt 1902, Anna 1903, Ernest 1904 and Andrew 1906).

I need advice on finding marriages and deaths for these children.

Rosie

Hi Rosie;
I live not far from Ladysmith, so your query peaked my interest:)
Here's what I found on the BC Archives site , to prove one way or the other which one of the multiple people I found, one would have to consult the documents at the Archives. I don't get to Victoria very often when the Archives are open. You can post a help query and perhaps someone in Victoria can look these up for you. I can, however, go to the Ladysmith Cemetery and see if there are any headstones and take pictures for you.

There are two marriage registrations for Thomas Nelson, however, the reg number is the same for both, this usually means the bride was previously married.

I hope this helps.

Rosie, there are several reasonable options for getting copies of public access British Columbia birth/marriage/death registrations at a nominal cost. I would suggest first checking at Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness for a volunteer: http://www.raogk.com or asking the BC Genealogical Society's BC Reseach Committee to do this for you: www.bcgs.ca. (I am a BCGS volunteer.)
For more British Columbia genealogical resources, join the British Columbia group here at Genealogy Wise.

Has anyone seen the on-line Atlas of Canada at the web site of Natural Resources Canada. The URL is http://atlas.nrcan.gc.ca/site/english/index.html
I put in the name of a very small village and it immediately came up with the latitude and longitude. Then when I clicked on the name of the village a map came up with an arrow pointing to the location. Each time I clicked on the map the view zoomed in until at the closest view, it showed the location of individual buildings with dots. It's really fantastic.

Looking for info on Loyalist Rufus Green and family. He had land in Kings Co. NB. He also had a daughter named Sarah who married Joseph Stackhouse. Any info would be of help!
