Have just joined this list. I have recently located my first piece of evidence giving the birth place of my G-grandfather in NB, and thought to be Miramichi. My family connection is: James FINN, b. ca 1802 Mary FINN (nee KEATING), b. ca 1812 Patrick FINN, b. 1847 married to Anne O'Brien lived in New York City from 1880-1888 d. 21 Nov 1925 in Toronto, ON I've also recently exchanged emails with Joe Carroll, a long time lister here. Thanks for your efforts Joe, even though there was no connection. Looking forward to participating in this list, and hope I can provide others with information as well as receiving some. I live in Edmonton, AB not too far from our Provincial Archives and could do specific lookups if it would help. Neal Finn

Swain searchers should be aware that the name in early records could have been "Swim". It is also possible (which I have found) that "Swain" later turned into "Swim". I have a William Swim, Esq, whose daughter married Edward Carroll, moved to Stillwater, MN, and died there on 30 Mar 1888. She was the second daughter of William Swim, born about 1825-1830, probably on the Miramichi. She had four sisters and one brother, also William. --------- Joe > From: Krista <millerinme@yahoo.com> > Reply-To: CAN-NB-NORTHUMBERLAND-L@rootsweb.com > Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 15:52:12 -0800 (PST) > To: CAN-NB-NORTHUMBERLAND-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [CAN-NB-NORTHUMBERLAND-L] SWAIN > Resent-From: CAN-NB-NORTHUMBERLAND-L@rootsweb.com > Resent-Date: Wed, 19 Mar 2003 16:52:04 -0700 > > Hello Catherine, > > My name is Krista and I am researching some Swains > from New Brunswick who are the descendants of George > Swain and Ellen Hartery who were from the Nelson , > Newcastle, Chatham area.

There are Beatties in Moncton who may have gone there over the years from north of Kouchibouguac (not necessarily connected) who live near Magnetic Hill. There is also a Walter Beattie from the Rexton Beatties--a former police officer. He still has a sister in Rexton or Richibucto and family but married and with a different name. I have those names somewhere. There is also another sister. Mrs. Beattie, age 90 or so, still lives in Rexton or Richibucto (I get them mixed up when people live on the line...of the two towns. My Beatties frequented Richibucto and Rexton but they are now limited to me and my brother and sister and our children. My brother and I live in Maine and my sister in Kansas.

Hi Catherine, I'm a great believer you never can have enough names; of who your searching for. I have, Margaret Swain, which has nothing to do with what your asking. If she fits in your family file a year from now or can give you a extra lead; could be helpful? Margaret Swain born March 23, 1782 in North East Harbour, Nova Scotia-Canada-died Jan. 09, 1861 in North East Harbour, Nova Scotia-Canada-She married 31, Dec.1804 to Samuel Whitney born Feb. 10, 1779 in Fairfield, Ct-USA-died Feb. 05, 1864 in North East Harbour, Nova Scotia-Canada. Samuel's parents died in Saint John, New Brunswick-Canada. "genealogy should be free not our fault we have ancestors" Take care, Marcia in Quispamsis, Kings Co.

Hello Catherine, My name is Krista and I am researching some Swains from New Brunswick who are the descendants of George Swain and Ellen Hartery who were from the Nelson , Newcastle, Chatham area. By the way...I am a Hartery descendant. To my knowledge, there were two sons born of this couple to carry the Swain surname, Patrick, b. 1902 and Charles, b. 1897.

Judy Barry from Don Beattie in Winthrop, Maine. I noticed that your last name is Barry. I had a great Aunt, born about February 1863 Alice Barry in Richibucto. First, she married James Clark and they had Robert and Mary. Robert married my aunt, Florence Beattie of Beechwood. When James Clark had a mill accident and was killed, Alice married a great uncle of mine, Donald Angus McIntosh. I have considerable information about Donald, all the way back to Glenelg Scotland re his grandfather, John McIntosh and grandmother Euphemia. I also have his generations forward from he and Alice. Nonetheless, I do not have much information on Alice. nor does Regina Barry of Deleware, although she has reems and reems of genealogical/carefully documented information which she just sent to me, recently, on all of Alice's forebears back to Ireland. Are you related to this group of Barrys by any chance? If so, perhaps we could write to see if we can find more information on Alice especially. I know her two living grandchildren from the Clark side, in Bath and Bristol, respectively (in NB, Canada); and, of course I know many of Donald and Alice generations, past and present. Sincerely, Donald W. Beattie Winthrop, Maine USA
