There just would be too many for me to post them all. I try to do a variety of names and for those interested . The Index that I compiled for 1877-1895 has them all in fact there are 7 Amero, Ameriault 34 Comeau 2 Robicheauu 15 Doucette 28 Melanson and 15 LeBlanc in the 1877-1895 addition and if bought from the Library , I will do look ups on specific names and email it to them and post them as well and in the new book 1920-1929 that is due to come out in late Jan. , early Feb. there are 36 Amero, 25 Doucette , 20 LeBlanc, 26 Robicheau, 48 Melanson, and 54 Comeau. listings I do look ups weekly at the Library and I always try to get as many obits, marriages etc. on the page as possible as each print out costs me .25 and then I come home and send out by email the requested obit or marriage and then type all others on the page and post them as well on the Digby Gen web. I am afraid that is the best I can do . If you have specific names with the month and year the item appeared in the Digby courier then I will be glad to do a look up for you, The book referred to above is available at the Yarmouth library at htt://www.wcr.library.ns.ca at a coat of 10.00 including mailing with ALL money going to the Western Counties Library headquarters for genealogical material.

I really appreciate your reply, Thank you. We are English Ameros, come down through Joseph and Mary, their son Fred, his daughter Eva, her eldest (illegitimate)son Charlie, then my father in law, then my husband.

This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/SOC.2ACE/847.1 Message Board Post: Sue--The Frank Amero store was actually located at Plympton Station, Digby Co., N.S. a few miles south of the main #1 highway and near the railway and Wagoner's Lake. It is no longer in existance. Perhaps removed after Frank's death. Frank was known in his time as "the Blueberry King" from his dealing in sale of blueberries. The young people of the community used to gather in the evenings at his place and he would entertain by playing the violin. I do have some information on the family but have found nothing on Joseph Amero or Mary Barnes. (Family tradition says she was English) Family tradition says Joseph was a ships captain and once shipwrecked but saved. In 1901 Joseph and his family resided near Annapolis Royal, although all the family dispute this fact and state that Joseph and his family always lived in Plympton Station. Sorry but I do not have access to any picture of Frank's store. Jim Craik [email protected]

To all:- It seems to be a beehive of activity on Parliament Hill, and to assist us, the scoreboards for Nov. 19 are posted, MANY changes -- I have the pages printed so do my own updating. Before writing, please check the scoreboards. http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Secscore1.htm Muriel M. Davidson <[email protected]> Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee As of Nov. 22: <[email protected]> =========================================== Greetings All. There is currently considerable activity at this time, relating to our campaign, in both the Senate and the House of Commons. Senator Lorna Milne's Bill S-12 is being considered in Committee at this time and it is expected that it will shortly be referred back to the Senate in Report stage where it would receive more discussion and receive third reading. If it passes third reading it would be referred to the House of Commons. It is expected that Murray Calder's Bill C-312 will this week be considered in order to determine whether or not it will be considered votable. We are optimistic that it will be votable. If votable, it would receive up to three hours debate in the House. If non-votable it would receive a maximum of 1 hour discussion and would then be dropped. If votable, and if passed, it would go through the normal procedures of being referred to Committee, brought back to the House for the Report Stage and third reading after which, if passed, it would be referred to the Senate. Rules of the House do not permit two Bills that are identical (such as C-312 and S-12), or nearly so to be considered in the House at the same time. Should Bill S-12 pass all the steps in the Senate and be referred to the House, Murray Calder would likely withdraw his Bill C-312. With everything that is going on at this time it is important to keep collecting signatures on petitions. It is equally important, if not more so right now, to continue writing, or to write again, to our Members of Parliament and Senators to seek their support for these Bills. Check the updated Scoreboards before writing. For those having Gold Ticks of support, messages of appreciation should be sent with a wish for their continued support. For Fence-sitters, or those who have not responded at all, ask for their support for these Bills and request a response to your query. If writing to the few having Red Xs of opposition, respectfully request their reasons for their opposition. In all instances, keep your messages polite, direct, and to the point. It is especially important at this time to keep the pressure on. We must not allow our representatives to think that we have given up on, or are no longer interested, in regaining the public access to Historic Census Records the we are currently denied. With everyone assisting, we WILL succeed in our goal. We cannot, however, think that our friends efforts will be enough to do the job. We must do it ourselves, and we must do it NOW!! Happy Hunting.

To all:- The balance of Gordon's message is very important so will post that tomorrow -- also keeps memos shorter! Muriel M. Davidson <[email protected]> Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee As of Nov. 22: <[email protected]> ============================================= Greetings All. I have just finished sending files to Global Genealogy for loading to the server and updating of the Scoreboards for MPs and Senators. When loaded, the online Scoreboard totals will show a date of 19 November. The current online totals show a date of 31 October. The new totals reflect all responses from MPs and Senators that have been forwarded to me. I currently have no further correspondence from MPs or Senators that would cause a change in their positions shown on the Scoreboards. Please check the Scoreboards in a day or so. If you have any correspondence from MPs or Senators that would change the position shown for them please forward it to me so that I might bring things up to date once again. Changes since the posting of 31 October are as follows: Gold Ticks of support have been awarded to MPs, Carole-Marie Allard (PQ), Elsie Wayne (NB), Howard Hillstrom (MB), and Jim Gouk (BC). Senators Isobel Finnerty (ON), Laurier LaPierre (ON), and Gerry St. Germain (BC) have also been awarded Gold Ticks. One Senator has been removed from the Scoreboard because he has retired. Non-committal Fence icons have been awarded to MPs Julian Reed (ON) and Steve Mahoney (ON). Both of these previously had Red Xs of opposition. Fence icons have also been awarded to MPs Derek Lee (ON) Karen Redman (ON), and to Senator Terry Stratton (MB). Totals currently stand at: House of Commons: FOR - 139, AGAINST - 7, NON-COMMITTAL - 67, NO RESPONSE - 88 Senate: FOR - 21, AGAINST - 3, NON-COMMITTAL - 10, NO RESPONSE - 63 With everything that is going on at this time it is important to keep collecting signatures on petitions.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/SOC.2ACE/855 Message Board Post: Hoping to hear from TIDD or DUKESHIRE researchers on this one : " ..... Pearl, the six year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Thurber, was burned to death. She was playing on the shore and set fire to a bag which she got from her father's fishhouse. The fire caught in her clothing and she died in a few hours " (source: Freeport column, the Digby Courier, Aug 29, 1913.). Pearl was actually the daughter of James Edmund Dukeshire (b. 1869) and Annie P.( Tidd) Dukeshire (b.ca.1867). After the death of Pearl's parents, she was adopted by Garfield and Hattie (Haines) Thurber. Pearl's sister, Ethel, was raised by Capt. John W. Thurber and Emily (Tidd) Thurber (her aunt and uncle - and my grandparents). John and Garfield Thurber were brothers. Ethel Dukeshire later married Ralph Hersey, of Freeport. Anyone know what happened to James Dukeshire and Annie Priscilla Tidd Dukeshire ? Appreciate any help, John Thurber

In the Digby Courier index for birth, marriages , deaths and other interesting things 1920-1929 , I see 2 entries for Stailing Mrs. Augusta Stailing D 23 March 1928 Mrs. Enslie Stailing 15 Nov. 1929

I'm inclined to think this might be a Stevens family of Freeport, but have no proof yet.
