The following is what has been provided to me by a cousin and his wife who have spent years trying to untangle the roots: Francois Jean was born in St. Vivien de Flores, Saintes, Saintonge, France in 1666. His parents were Pierre Barbeau and Madeleine Babin. Francois Jean came to Canada as a soldier in the company of Saint-Cirque. He was said to be 20 years old in 1686; he is mentionned May 12, 1686 at Pointe-aux-Trembles. He was buried April 1, 1714 at Montreal, but living at his death at Boucherville. He was said to be 50 years old. Francois Jean Barbeau's wife, Marie DeNoyan, remarried after the death of her husband to Daniel Tetu in 1717. This is the earliest information I have.

Thanks so much! I'll go check it out. Perhaps I can contact the submitter.

I recently received info from the Muskegon County, Michigan, Genealogy Society that taught me a little bit more about my great-great grandparents, Stephen Van Renssellaer (or Rensellar) BARBER and Mary Jane HOPKINS. It included a June 1, 1900 Bashaw, Washburn Co., Wiconsin census: Name, relationship, color or race, sex, month of birth, year of birth, age, place of birth, father's birth, mother's birth Barber Stephen, head, w, m, Dec., 1816, 83, New York, New York, New York Mary, wife, w, f, June, 1834, 65, New York, New York, Pennsylvania This gives me a couple new dates and locations to play with (the family history says Mary was supposed to be Pennsylvania Dutch, so at least the Pennsylvania part seems to be confirmed). As always, please visit my homepage at http://members.aol.com/gr8kat1/KatGen/home.htm and let me know if any of my info jibes with any of yours.

Hi Barber, I would like to put my Barber family on the Barber rootswweb how do I do it? Thank you, Bobbie eibob@AOL .com

At www.familysearch.com your Eva and Edna have IGI birth and christening records showing that they were born in Chautauqua, New York on April 15, 1886. There parents are listed as Harace Lafayette Barber and Martha Ann Barber and there is further information. I have not looked thoroughly -- thought I'd get you the information quickly. Sue Barber Murphy

Do you have more information on her family? My great-grandparents came from Franklin Co., NY and there supposedly was an Eva born around 1900 which does not relate to your great-grandmother's age. This line of Barbers is "Barbeau" in Canada and Barber in the US. They were of French-Canadian descent, possibly with Metsis blood also. I have information tracing both my paternal great grandparents back to the 1600's in France. They came from very large families for which I have been unable to trace many members. They are found in the Bellmont and Malone, NY censuses and old correspondence with relatives. The spelling of given names vary and spelling is questionable. The census recorder probably was unable to understand their dialect, plus they possibly did not speak English, nor could they read and write according to the census. This is where a name as simple as Barber is recorded as Barbo, Barbeau, Barbi, etc. Perhaps we have a connection.

Looking for information about the family of my great-grandmother, Eva Elizabeth BARBER. She married Hoyt Jackson RAYMOND, 25 DEC 1905, possibly in Ashville Bay, Chautauqua Co., New York. I have a photo given to me by an aunt which shows Eva and her twin, Edna. There is a woman standing between the Eva and Edna that is not identified. I do not know when the picture was taken, but from the clothing worn by the women, I would guess around 1900.

To all you Northern Barbers, There is a book on geneologylibrary.com that deals with the northern Barbers. I looked at it when I had a free subscription to it last fall, but mine are the southern group and didn't connect. Hope this helps someone.

Ohio but the record of their marriage doesn't give anything about his parents. I think that he was born Oct 30,1806 in Maine but that is all I can find out.For the census in Maine to be of any help I need to know his father's name which I don't.If anyone could help I would love to hear from you. Linda Williams Deerholme@telus.net

Marilyn, My gggrandfather is a Joseph Barber. He was from VA, married Celia Jones 1830 in Franklin Co. VA. His 1st child Isaac was born in VA, the 2nd in IN and then on to MO. On the marriage bond he is listed as Joseph Barbour but signed as Joel Barber. He did not appear to be from Franklin Co. and I have felt that he was from Pittslyvania Co. and/or surrounding Co's. He was born in 1803 vs your 1808 Joseph. I have wondered why he was in IN when the 2nd child was born unless it was for further medical training (listed as a doctor in 1850 Taney Co, MO census) or because of family there. As you have probably guessed this is my WALL.any clues you may have would be appreciated. Thank you Joseph Grimes

Kay, I was going through my ton of unread e-mail and came accross yours. So much of the Barber info is of no use, but your mention of Peter Barber and New Jersey. My Great Grandfather Peter M. Barber was born in South Amboy NJ on Dec 16,1842. I know from the 1880 census that his mother's name was Elsie and was born around 1810 or 1811 in NJ. My Peter was a member of Co K. 28th NJ Volunteers during the Civil War and Died in March of 1905 in Matawan NJ. I have more info on him if you are interested. Someone sent ma copy of the page of the 1850 NJ census which shows a 7 year old Peter Barber of South Amboy, the son of a Peter Barber. This Peter must be a close relative of your Peter Barber. My Peter lived in a township of Browntown which is between South Amboy and Old Bridge on RT 9. There is an old school called Browntown there. hope this helps Mark Barber mbarber@clevelandschools.org kaybarber wrote: > Seeking ANY information on the family of Peter Barber, b. abt 1814 in NJ?

Hello, I am trying to research some of my Barber line who came to Canada from England. But have had no luck finding anything out before Canada. Can anyone help me? I have this so far: John Andrew Barber was born November, 1831 in Kirkburton, Yorkshire, England. His parents were John Barber and Jane Burtop. He married Anne May Durnley in Cheshire and came to Canada with their three small daughters in 1863. They were Mary born in 1855, Nancy born in 1857 and Ada born in 1861. They had three more children in Canada Alice born in 1868, Lydia born in 1874 and Joseph born September 5, 1873. John Andrew died in 1916 and Anne died in 1894. Their son Joseph married Annie Mabel Holland. They had four children Annie Ruth born in 1902, Lila May born in 1905, George Andrew born in 1909 and John Arlie born in 1915. George Andrew Barber married Margaret Louise Rybeck/Mcphail on July 8, 1931. They had four children Donald died at birth, Russell born in 1932 , Joseph born in 1935, William born in 1942. George died in 1993, and Margaret died in 1995. My father Joseph died in 1998. My uncle Russell was kind enough to have researched this far with a cousin of his, but I would like to find out more about my family as I have had little or no contact with them in over 25 years. So if there is anyone who can help me out it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Cathy @MNSi.net
