Hi Listers, I wonder if anyone can help me with details on a family named HAANEL. I have found some biographical details on Eugene Emile F.R. HAANEL (an engineers, physicist and inspector of mines), I know he was married to Julia Frances DARLING, I have a list of his children and I know he died in 1927 being buried in Beechwood Cemetery. What I don't have is the date of Julia's death. She died before him as he was described as widower on his death. Can anyone give me the date of her death and any other information available on the HAANELs. Best wishes, Charles
Thanks to all those that helped with the Carleton County History Books Wendy

Hello Judy, Many thanks for your offer of help. I am looking for any mention of Maria DORAGH (born County Tyrone, Ireland, 1874) and William/Willie LA FLOOR who, I believe, married in Hintonburg in 1905. Maria died in 1949 and is buried in Bells Corners cemetery, Nepean, with her husband.

Judy and others:- Did you notice the tag-line -- by now you must know your list administrator is a history lover -- when putting my family history books together (on good old 8 1/2 x 11) I include history bits and pieces -- it is nice to know how our people lived. Example:- My paternal grandfather sailed out of Gloucester, MA and also the Grand Banks. One of my prized pieces of furniture, already willed to my youngest granddaughter, is a Berlin pump organ (now Kitchener, ON) brought from Gloucester to the harbour west of Liverpool, NS. It was given to my grandmother in July 1894 according to the newspaper clipping -- one way our people marked items. Enjoy!!!

Wendy et al, I have yet to see one specifically on Carleton County but there are a few depictions of Lanark in the Nepean Branch of the Ottawa Public Library, "Lanark Legacy" being one of them. Some rare books that refer to Carelton County and the people living in and near it are: "History of the Ottawa Valley", by J.L. Gourlay - printed in 1896 "Hub and the Spokes" written by Anson Gard in 1906. It is a history book of Ottawa. Sandy Ottawa On 4/27/06, Muriel M.

Thanks Kathie and Muriel, I have replied to the CBC with the following comments. ---------- To follow up with your story on the 2006 Census forms being online, you state at the bottom of the story that ".. the census this year include a question about whether respondents agree that their information can be publicly released.. for the benefit of genealogists". I think a great number of people are unaware of how important a role the census plays in genealogy research - tracing your roots. I have managed to trace back my family to the turn of the 19th century as a result of the Canada census. You can literally follow your ancestors movements at 10 year intervals. In 1891 my GGGrandfather and his family were living in Nepean. It shows his date of birth, the ages of his spouse and children, and even his occupation. The same family with eveyone 10 years older is shown in the Dalhousie Ward of Ottawa in 1901, with two sons married and living in the same ward. In 1911, my aunts and uncles start to appear as children of these sons. My father was born in 1912 and I cannot wait until the 1921 census is released to see his name. The census is but one source of information that leads us family tree researchers to other records such as birth and death registrations, immigration records that tell us which of our ancetors made the journey to Canada from Europe, and marriage records in both city hall archives and parrishes across the land. All of these records must be made public to us researchers to enable us to draw a clear picture of what our family was like hundreds of years before us. ----------- Sandy On 4/28/06, Muriel M.

To all Canadians -- at home or abroad:- The following is an article which may be re-written in your own words and forwarded to newspapers immediately and to as many friends as you wish -- we hope to have 100% participation in this May 16, 2006 census. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee ========================= On the upcoming Census form there is a question re the release of your personal information to the public in 92 years time. I am writing to ask when you return your Census forms on May 16 if you would please mark YES to item 53 so personal information may be released to all families doing genealogical research in 2098. You would be helping present and future families to know who you are and the type of work you did in 2006, where and when you immigrated to Canada etc. If you mark NO you restrict your family and other relatives knowing where they fit in the family tree. You may not care where they fit but others do. Please consider marking an X in the YES box. The following question on this year's census return is for all persons who usually live in Canada including those less than 15 years old. 53. The Statistics Act guarantees the confidentiality of your census information. Only if you mark "YES" to this question will your personal information be made public in 2098, 92 years after the 2006 Census. If you mark "NO"or leave the answer blank, your personal information will never be made publicly available. Does this person agree to make his/her 2006 Census information available for public release in 2098 (92 years after the census)? � Yes � No Inclusion of this 'informed consent' provision in Censuses to be conducted from 2006 was the price forced upon genealogists and historians seeking to regain public access to Historic Census records to which existing legislation already stated we were entitled. We had been advised that unless this provision was accepted the government would not present the Bill (S-18) to end a seven-year campaign to regain public access to Historic Census records in accordance with provisions of the Access to Information and Privacy Acts. Help to ensure your place in the history of Canada. On Census Day 16 May 2006, answer YES to allow your information to be made available to your descendants in 2098. Ask everyone you know to do so as well. You may say "who cares". Maybe you don't but one of your ancestors/family members might one day in the future. Also the census records assist your city or town to obtain grants for items such as hospitals, roads -- money lost is about $30,000 for each person who does not fill out and return the 2006 census form -- help your city and thus help to decrease your taxation bills.
I have History Books written in the 1980's of Stanley and Hay Twp of Huron County Ontario and am wondering if anything like this exists for Carleton County townships? Thanks Wendy.
