Hi Everyone, I am hoping someone out there can help me. I am looking for information on Mary Armstrong. She was born Dec 17, 1827 in Scotland. Mary, her parents and her brothers; Thomas, Charles, Frank and William traveled from Scotland to Lockport New York. Along the way both parents were stricken with fever and died. William returned to Scotland while Mary, Thomas, Charles and Frank went on to Canada. In about 1856 Mary married Christoper Bell in Lambton County, Ontario. I don't know what became of the brothers. Does anyone know of this family? Lori

Wow, We will argue about almost anything. For my part, I like "God Bless America," but only if it is sung by Kate Smith. And the Marine Corps Hymn, but I'd like to hear it by the Vienna Boy's Choir.

"Always handing me a piece of raw potato and wondering why I spit it out." The humble potato CAN make you very sick actually. If you eat a green one, it's toxic, and can make you sick. If you're pregnant, stay well away from potatoes with even a HINT of green, it was said to cause spina bifida in unborn babies of pregnant mothers who ate green potatoes!!! Peter, my obstetrician when I had my first son, said many moons ago it would've been given as the cause of my first son's spina bifida but "these days we just don't have green potatoes". We don't? HA!! I ate them, just sliced off the green bits thinking they were okay. Nope!! My first son was stillborn, so stay away from green potatoes folks!!!!!!! We used to use raw potatoes to make "stamps" with, did you ever do that Marilynn? That was fun, carving "stuff" onto a sliced potato, dipping it in paint and printing it on paper. I'm suddenly feeling very old with these old memories!! lol Take care, Rob.

"We hated "Frere Jacque."" On the subject of songs, I get mightily miffed when you Americans "mess up" the song, which originated in England, called "Ring-a-ring o' Rosies" which does NOT go "Ashes, ashes, we all fall down"!!! For the record, here's the ORIGINAL lyrics ... Ring-a-Ring o'Rosies A Pocket full of Posies "A-tishoo! A-tishoo!" We all fall Down! Darn Americans always want to do things YOUR way don't you?!? Says me, running for the hills before I cop a heap of hate mail for giving "my fellow Americans" a hard time!! ROTFLMBO Take care, Rob.

Marilynn, Were you thinking of St. Johns, New Brunswick. When did they come - oh, dear now you will have to tell us which century. :))) Mary There's a St. John's in Michigan but it is not a port. However, if you came through Port Huron, Michigan, which comes from Canada through Sarnia, you would eventually go through St. John's to go further west into Michigan.

Right on, Rob!! Now for the big question "What does it all mean"? I know, do you?

OK... Here's what I know... and as always, it's subject to additions, corrections, etc. First, there are relatively few records of passenger lists for people entering Canada. It was part of the British Empire, and folks emigrating from the British Isles did not need to pass emigration, etc. Further, those shipping companies that might have had passenger lists mostly chucked them. That said, there ARE a few lists... and should be checked. The link to the Ships Lists someone else gave recently is very useful. Second, emigration to Canada started with the French... to Quebec, and to Acadia [basically what is now the Maritimes]... so if you have any French Canadian ancestry... there are some good links available. Third... the next major wave of emigration to Canada involved the Loyalists... those Americans who stayed loyal to the King, and fled north during and after the Revolution. Some went north through New York, first to Montreal, and later were resettled along the north shore of Lake Ontario. Others traveled mostly by ship and were landed at Halifax, Nova Scotia, or in St.John, in what is now New Brunswick [early on it was a part of Nova Scotia; both had previously become British as a result of the French losing Acadia in the French and Indian wars]. There are extensive lists of the Loyalists available... and membership in the Loyalist organizations is rather like the DAR.... gotta show proof of ancestry. {:-) Fourth... During the Napoleonic War era, the British turned to New Brunswick as a source of Ship Timber, as the Scandinavian sources were cut off by Napoleon. As a result, following the war, a number of emigrants started traveling to New Brunswick as passengers on the outgoing empty timber ships. The timber ships tended to be smaller, and thus were known to travel around the coasts of Ulster and Scotland, soliciting passengers from many of the smaller outports. Most of these passengers ended up landing in Canada through St. John, New Brunswick, traveling on up the St. John River, and settling initially in areas which had apparently been recently logged off. Many of the emigrants in this era continued to refer to these parts of Canada as "America"... as it was part of the North American continent... and they did not much discriminate between Canada and the US. Notice also the different spellings: St.John, New Brunswick is often confused with St. John's, Newfoundland. They are two distinctly different places. Fifth... As settlements expanded along the "Upper" shores of the St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario, successive waves of emigrants passed through Quebec, and on up to "Upper Canada", which subsequently was hived off from Quebec, or Lower Canada. Following the end of the Napoleonic War, many soldiers received land in Upper Canada in payment of their back pay, and settled in townships surveyed to the north of the original lands allocated to the Loyalists. Additionally, many Americans found they were more comfortable under the Crown, and drifted north to take up lands... often purchasing from Loyalists or other British settlers. Then, many of the Loyalists, other British, and former Americans drifted back south. It gets to be a complicated story. Many families had children born successively in the US, then Canada, and then again in the US. Sixth, up into the 1840's many Ulster folk emigrated either to New Brunswick or Upper Canada, often responding to land development schemes. Then, following the Famines in Ireland in the 1840's many folks from other parts of Ireland started emigrating to Ontario [by now renamed from Upper Canada] as well as to the US... Seventh... Newfoundland is a different story. It was a separate country up until the 1930's... and joined the Canadian Confederation in 1949. It started in the 1500's as a place where emigration was discouraged... only a few French, Portugese, and English fishermen and whalers, mostly men, temporarily sited at fishing or whaling stations along the coastlines. There were separate "French shores", English shores, and areas which formerly were Portugese or Spanish were largely taken over by the English. In the 1620's there was a considerable English colony set up at Fairyland, on the Avalon Peninsula, south from the present day St. John's. It was destroyed by the French in the 1740-50's, but rivaled Jamestown and Plymouth in it's day. Gradually, Newfoundland became settled by French, English, and Irish... many hailing from seacoast areas in their countries of origin. There were successive waves of emigrants to Canada throughout the later 19th and early 20th centuries... many from Germany, the Ukraine, Russia, and elsewhere. As with emigrants to the US... you need to know a bit about the ethnic origins of your ancestors in order to know where to start. Hope this helps.

http://www.manhattanbeachmusiconline.com/frank_ticheli/html/loch_lomond.html This song was mentioned in one A letter. This is its history. We had to sing it in school. We HATED it. We hated "Santa Lucia" We hated "Frere Jacque." We wanted, in the 1930s, to sing sensible songs like "3 Ittle fishies in a ittle bitty pool." "Marsie Doats" and "Hut Sut Ralson on the RillaRah." Now THOSE were songs with meaning!!! Marilynn IBSSG

Thanks to Bob and Marilyn for the info on the Winthrop Society. I found the person I was looking for. I had information that he had come with that group and was glad to find more. Lt. Griffin Craft/Crofts settled in Roxbury MA and was a leader in the community (from other info that I have).

Of course, Patti, you do know that potatoes originated in Peru, not Ireland. But after the Brits chased the Irish off all the good land and onto the rocky soil of Western Ireland, the Irish found that at least potatoes would grow. I love 'em. too. but not raw. I am allergic to a raw potato held in my hand and I will break out in hives if I try to peel a potato. So, like Grandma, I cook them with their jackets on. And eat the jackets, too. Sure Manna was Grits. That's why they only lasted one day before they spoiled.

I think we tend to get Pilgrims and Puritans mixed up. And I also think we should be careful of the use of the word "America". Which America?

Quebec was not the only port of entry to Canada. My McClymonts came in through some other place. Can't remember where but I think my daughter said St. Johns was a port. Anyone know?

My husband worked for the Forest Service as a young man, cruising timber. One evening he and his buddy were worn out and sat down to rest. In a few minutes, my husband said "We'd better go." His friend asked 'Why?" My husband said, "We're sitting atop a rattlesnake den." The other guy said "How do you know.?" My husband said "I can smell them." So next warm sunny day they returned to that spot, and there on atop the rock were dozens of Rattlers sunbathing. And my friend and her husband bought some land aboaut 30 miles north of Boise and built a nice house themselves. They kept seeing Rattlers everywhere. They called the Fish and Game people who came out and confirmed they had built their beautiful home on top of a Rattlesnake Den. I'd say your brother was one VERY lucky man, running over them with no "backbiting". *Sorry. I HAD to say that) My Dad would have gone crazy trying to get all those pieces buried. He'd have had to drive over to the next county. Marilynn IBSSG ----- Original Message ----- From: "James D.

Uh, uh. Not Swedish for sure. Grandma was from Canada, a product of a Scottish-Irish-Yankee family. Pie Plant was it's official name. And do you know what all this discussion is doing to me who can't even buy it frozen? I'll tell you a secret kept from the A's I have gustatory/synesthesia. Certain words I hear give me a mouthful of that food. No, it is NOT a good way to lose weight. It just creates a desire for certain food. Armstrong is Strawberry Jam. I often put Strawberries in my Rhubarb Pie. You see what's going on here? A double whammy. And it is really all your fault, whoever started this. My Gosh! Was it me? I really apologize to me if it was. Marilynn IBSSG

Cherie, When you become a yooper you will need to plant lots of potatoes, rutabaga and turnips to bake in your pasties, since that is about all yoopers eat. 40 acres should be enough unless the July 4th freeze is a bad one.

Darn Grandmother. Trying to get rid of me, huh? Always handing me a piece of raw potato and wondering why I spit it out. Smart kid, that's me. "C.

But after the Brits chased the Irish off all the good land and onto the rocky soil of Western Ireland, the Irish found that at least potatoes would grow. I love 'em. too. but not raw. I am allergic to a raw potato held in my hand and I will break out in hives if I try to peel a potato. So, like Grandma, I cook them with their jackets on. And eat the jackets, too. Sure Manna was Grits. That's why they only lasted one day before they spoiled.

Ken, I think you are wrong, but I also don't think this list is the place to debate a religious issue. But the Pilgrims weren't Presbyterians...they were Separatists as were Presbyterians, and both groups espoused many Calvinist ideas, especially that the church could not rule the state. I also take issue with your sweeping statement about them being the most cruel ruling government in American history. But that's for another list, I guess.
