Hi, I am new to this list. I am researching the SWAIN family. Not much is known except that Bernadette SWAIN b Aug 28 1927, died May 30 2002 was from New Brunswick and I have found a SWAIN family from this place in the 1901 census. Nothing to connect her to the family though. Any help is much appreciated. Regards, Catherine

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. Does this information match any of yours? Krista millerinme@yahoo.com --- catherine.fitzgerald@sympatico.ca wrote: > Hi, I am new to this list. > I am researching the SWAIN family.

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.

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.
