I'm a native of the Boston, Mass. area. Yes, Natick is a suburb of Boston, and there were tons of Canadians all over the Boston area. My dad and all 4 grandparents were from Nova Scotia, and my mother's parents (Rev. Charles Wesley Allen & wife nee Malinda Burton) lived in the Boston area too. So did my other grandmother (nee Elizabeth Maria Hatfield called "Bessie"), after she was widowed, and her husband, my paternal grandfather, Rev. Peter Stewart MacGregor, graduated from Andover Newton Theoloogical School in Newton, Mass. Rev. Allen also attended Andover Newton. We also had family friends in Natick, Mass., called Roy and Virginia Millet (spelling?) and their daughter, Celeste, back in the 40's, 50's, and 60's. I know I have a distant MacKinnon cousin living in Natick as well, but I'm not sure of his first name.

BOSTON GLOBE, Boston, Ma. Oct. 29, 2004 PETITPAS, MARY L. (GRIFFIN) on Oct. 27, 2004, of Natick and formerly of North Cambridge. Loving wife of the late Peter J. Petitpas. Devoted mother of Joseph P. Petitpas and his late wife Joan of West Roxbury; Jean L. McEnaney and her husband Thomas of Marlborough; Arthur F. Petitpas and his wife Penny of Baltimore, MD and Rita M. Guigli and her husband Robert of Natick. Also survived by 10 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. Sister of the late Eleanor McTague; Florence Densmore nad Gertrude Pottey. Visitations on Sunday, Ot. 31, 2004 from 1:00 to 5:00 PM only at the John C. Bryant Funeral Home, 56 Pemberton Re., (Off Route 30) Cochituate Village, Wayland. Family and friends may gather at the Funerl Home on Monday, Nov. 1, 2004 at 8:00 AM followed by her Mass of Christian Burial at 9:00 AM at Saint Linus Church, 119 Hartford St., Natick. For those who desire gifts in her memory may be sent to the American Cancer Society, 30 Speen St., Framinham, Ma. 01701. I had a very hard time connecting this family. Eventually I believe I have found their line. I will give the lineage and maybe someone will recognize the names and may be able to help prove it. I only had the Massachusetts vitals to go by. PETER J. PETITPAS (on his marr. rec. it was Joseph Peter) m. 10-12-1938, MARY L. GRIFFIN d/o Patrick J. & Mildred E. (Morrison)Griffin. Both were born in Cambridge.They had 4 children. When his fist son Joseph Paul was born that is when the name seems to reverse. His Parents were SAMUEL P. PETITPAS m. ANNIE TURBIDE on their childrens births they put Canada as their birthplace. They had 11 children. Samuel's brother it appears was FRANCOIS PETITPAS m. OLIVE LAPIERRE They lived close to each other. Francois & Olive had 6 children This is what I believe is the line they come from. FIRMIN PETITPAS m. MELANIE ARSENEAU I only have the 2 sons above FRANCOIS PETITPAS m. ANNE BOUDREAU 8 children GUILLAUME PETITPAS m. CATHERINE ANGELIQUE SCEAU 13 children BARTHELEMY m. MADELIENE COSTE 11 children CLAUDE PETITPAS Jr.(Capt.) m. MARIE THERESE CLAUDE PETITPAS m. CATHERINE BUGARET When asking for info from on of the sons (P.J./J.P would not answer) he claims to be from Louis Benjamin but he was not ever sure who is own grandfather was. He claims to have a piece of paper that mentions citizenship. I believe I have a copy (though not very good) that only mentions a safe passage from Chezzetcook to Boston for Louis Benjamin. So a mystery still remains, if I am right or not. All comments and info greatly appreciated. Kay Petitpas

Last fall he underwent an operation, and this together with other complications brought about by his advanced age, caused his death.

Mr. Chisholm was born in Nova Scotia on December 25, 1843, and passed away at the age of 78 years, 1 month and 19 days. He came to Wisconsin when a boy. From Beaverdam [sic], Wisconsin, he came to Paynesville, where he has lived for the last forty years, being engaged in farming. In 1877 he was married to Mary Elizabeth McConaghy, who died about eight years ago. He is survived by one son, Dan, of Minneapolis, and Katherine, who lives in Paynesville. One daughter, Alice, died about six years ago. The deceased was an upright and honest citizen who was well respected and liked by all who knew him (Paynesville Press, 2 Mar 1922).

Hello all, I'm trying to help someone find their Antigonish family and hoping someone on the list may be able to provide a clue. Does anyone have the parents or other info on: Margaret PETTIPAS b. ca 1915 Antigonish Co., d. ca 1950 NY in car accident; m. ca 1933 Joseph COPAGE of Alberton PEI, with Mi'kmaq ancestry Children: Diane COPAGE m. Stewart LUTZ I don't know if, or how, this family might connect, but it is the only COPAGE family I found listed in the 1901 census at PEI. 1901 Census, District: PE Prince (West/Ouest), (#134); Subdistrict: Lot (township/canton) 12, I; page 17; NA film T-6510; [Household 137]:; written note indicates that this section is: “Micmac Indians”: - COPAGE John, male, head, married, born Dec 25, 1854, age 45, born NB - COPAGE Margaret, female, wife, married, born [blank] 1844, age 56, born PEI - PAUL Rose, female, adopted, single, born Aug 10, 1891, age 9, born PEI - COPAGE John E, male, adopted, single, born Apr 2, 1887, age 14, born PEI - BERNARD Lemuel, male, adopted, single, born Sep, 1880, age 20, born PEI Thanks in advance!

Hi Joe - I'm in favor of gatewaying the message board to the mailing list.

Hi Joe, I am just a lurker, still on the search of my elusive Grant family. Anyway to your question, I think it would be great to add the board postings. I belong to a couple of other lists and both do that. Yes, sometimes a bit confusing but still may come up with additional info or \ help someone else with their search. Have a great day.
