Hello there - Alexsa(?) There are a few ways you can go about finding your records. Yes, you can send a cheque or money order to the Ontario archives. I don't have an address, but a simple internet search will turn them up, where you can find on their site some guides to finding information in Ontario. Indexes to many parish registers have been published in book form, and you can inquire at your local library about the possibility of interlibrary loan. It sounds like this might be what you've consulted. You can also visit a Family History Centre at a Church of Latter-Day Saints (ie, the Mormons). This appeals to those who have the time and the desire to find it for themselves, to see the "original," or for those who prefer the less expensive alternative. Once there, you can order copies of the microfilm in at very little cost. They stay at the Centre, but are there for you to consult for good once a copy is ordered. You can then view microfilm of the original parish registers. To learn which parish registers in Ontario and Quebec are available for the Ottawa Valley area, including Carleton County, you can visit the website of the Family History Library in Utah, at www.familysearch.org Just click on "library," and search the catalogue for your area of interest, get the information down, and go order in the microfilm or fiche. I believe that many of the registers which you've mentioned would be available, although many are damaged, faded, or burned in fires, and so on, but the odds are still on your side. On the issue of the French, if the listowner doesn't object, an occasional request for translation would get answers, and I don't mind if you send a few (not a lot) over my way. The one caveat - French priests had a habit of writing names in the French form, even if the person being recorded wasn't French. Great Great Grandparent "Jean" Murphy may have been French, or may simply have been John Murphy. In some cases, as in the surname Grace, there were English and French who used the surname. Only more research on your family can tell. Otherwise, it is usually pretty simple translation, despite some archaic words. I should add that a key benefit to reading parish registers for yourself is that you sometimes find other family. For example, I recently searched a parish register for a burial record for an ancestor. While searching, I found other relationships, including the marriage of a daughter of his who I had not known about.

Jaimie's suggestion is an excellent one. Post to the list what you can't decipher (Alexsandra or anyone else) and perhaps someone here can translate for you. I only have a high school grasp of French (though it has helped on census records...) so I wouldn't be of much use to you. But someone might.

Jan and Jean: This is a good example of why it's challenging to research these early Irish families! If you stand in Carleton Place (the town in Lanark County, Beckwith Township) and throw a stone, it could land in either of two Counties (Lanark or Carleton) or in several townships - Beckwith, Ramsay, Huntley, Marlborough, or Goulbourn. Also, many families, the "Cayley" family for example, had different children baptized in different parishes. Jean states that there were 5 children born in Carleton Place. I believe the family lived closer to the Town of Almonte, about 5 miles North, in Ramsay Township. Two of the children were baptized at St. Michael's, Corkery, Huntley Township in the late 1840's. The other three were probably baptized at St. Mary's, either in Almonte or in Carleton Place. There is (I think) a common RC cemetery at Almonte for both of these parishes. To further confuse things, the spelling varies over time. A lot of our Irish ancestors could not spell and the priests often wrote down the phonetic spelling of the name. I believe that "Cayley" is the 19th century Irish pronunciation for KEALEY. The spelling for the 2 Cayley children baptized at St. Michaels is Kyley and Kielly, both pronounced KEELY in English, but pronounced KAYLY in 19th century Canadian Irish/English. Here are the 2 children baptized at St. Mikes: 1. Kielly, Daniel son of Kielly, Daniel and Collins, Catherine born 9/12/1850 Godparents: Brinnan, John (Brennan?)& Whelan, Ellenor 2. Kyley, Catherine, daughter of Kyley, Daniel and Collins, Catherine born 8/17/1846 10/4/1846 Godparents: Collins, Daniel & Collins, Ann Also, speaking of itinerant preachers (Father Macdonald from Perth): Notre Dame in Ottawa also sent out missionary priests. These records start in 1827 and many of the early records show marriages from Perth, Renfrew, Marlborough, etc. ...

In response to CJGetchell's query: You have fallen into the same trap as I did when I first started research in this area of Ontario. "Carleton Place" is not in Carleton County.

Jean: This surname was spelled KILEY / KYLIE / KEILLY in some of the old records here. There are records of a couple of births in the late 1840's and a (maybe) death of a 21 year old in 1869.

Hello, Fellow list members, I was happy to see a Carleton list started, as that is where, according to family tradition, our CALEY family lived for many years. Daniel CALEY, who may have been from the Isle of Man, and his bride Catherine C. COLLINS, origin unknown, were both born c. 1817. Their first child, Mary Anne, was born in 1840 in "upper Canada." Joanna (b. 1843), Anna (b. 1844), and Catherine (b. 1846), were born in "Ontario." The next five children, Thomas, Daniel, Elizabeth Jane, Sarah Jane, and Martha (b. between 1847 and 1855) were born in "Carlton Place, Ontario, Canada." By 1857 the family was in Wisconsin where they lived through the Civil War. The mother and several of her children are buried there in a Roman Catholic cemetery. Does anyone know anything about this family when they lived in Carleton? I checked with several Roman Catholic churches in the area, but I could find no connections. I'm hoping that a Canada connection would help me trace where they came from. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you, Jean

I am new to the list so hope I've sent this in the correct manner. I am searching for information on JOHN BOMPAS, sometimes spelled BOMPASS or BUMPASS etc. and ELIZABETH MCNAY. They were married probably late 1890's early 1900's and lived at BELLS CORNER(S) which I think is near Ottawa. I think he was born 1869, died March 1964, and she was born 1881 and died March 1958, both buried (I've heard) in Pinecrest Cemetary, Nepean. This is a huge stumbling block in my family tree, however there may be no connection whatsoever! As I live in England I can't get to view records. Thanks in anticipation. John.

Does anyone know current addresses/locations for these churches: Notre Dame de Lourdes, est 1871-73 Cyrville (Gloucester) St. Joseph de Orleans in Bytown ? 1840? Notre Dame de Lourdes d'Eastview 1887? Cyrville? Notre Dame de Vanier (Eastview) I also wonder if Notre Dame de Lourdes d'Eastview and N.D. de Vanier (Eastview) are the same. The names and locations came from Marriage Registers (Repetoire de Mariages) of Quebec and are written in French -- which I can barely read, and I was unable to decipher more detail. Is it possible to write and ask for records if you have dates and names -- and send a check, or money order? Thank you for any information and help. Alexsandra -- Alexsandra K.

Canada) who was killed at Frog Lake Uprising, now Alberta in 1885, a daughter Catherine who married 1873 in Ottawa and moved to Bay City, MI.
