Forwarded for Gordon Watts:- ------------------ Greetings All Recent news from the Church of the Latter Day Saints indicates that new advances in scanning software and procedures will greatly add to the availability of digital images and indexes of millions of rolls of microfilm stored in their vast underground vaults. The project is estimated to be completed in less than thirty years, rather that the previous estimated time frame of 120 years. It is expected that in as little as 10 years, much of this vast store of genealogical collection will be available online.

http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/Community/Messageboard/index_e.asp The above is the site where one will find addresses to send notes of good wishes -- bright, cheery notes only -- to members of our troops serving overseas. Gift packages may also be sent -- not only to the men and women, but for children of the area in which the troops are serving. I am not familiar with sending mail overseas -- but I do know Canadian school children send boxes of cards to veterans at Sunnybrook and other veteran homes -- for some of the residents, this is the only contact with children or others outside the hospital walls. Pass the site along -- groups and individuals are very welcome to follow the instructions -- our Prime Minister arrived there Saturday and was well received by all troops. Muriel

Thanks so much to John Workman for sending me the Helmer and Ferguson MI's I previously asked about. Thank you John! Marg in Sunny Alberta

Hi List: Does anyone have the MI's for Dale's cemetery, Cumberland? The Historical society website says it will have them for sale June 12 but it doesn't say June 12 of what year so am not sure if it's published yet or not. Am looking for the entries for Helmer, Wm T and Nettie, as well the the entries for all the Ferguson's buried there, if anyone has the transcript. Thank you, Marg in Sunny Alberta

I am looking for the birth of Belinda Johnston, whom I think was born in Gloucester Twp., Carleton Co., Ontario, Daughter of William R. Johnston. According to a later census, she would have been born about 1863. Any help appreciated, especially name of mother. Peggy

To all:- I know that not everyone will agree with me -- but that is nothing new!! My preference is Automated Genealogy which is Canada-wide, linked to Library and Archives Canada. Should I wish to search for a family member in the 1911 time line, I would be able to do a simple search on Automated Genealogy -- find the area -- then resort to microfiche after searching on both 1901 and 1911 AG records. [Who knows -- we might be able to obtain older records after 1911 is finished.] Standings as of now are -- will these change over the weekend? If the Co-Chairs of the Canada Census Committee can transcribe -- how about all! Canada ..........51.47% Alberta............................16.42% British Columbia ..............27.25% Manitoba..........................43.82% New Brunswick................68.76% NorthWest Territories.......73.74% Nova Scotia......................92.48%**** Ontario.............................67.54% Prince Edward Island........73.03% Quebec............................33.62% Saskatchewan..................36.45% Yukon............................100.00% NOTE:- The Nova Scotia transcribers are working in a group, correcting the work of others, working as a team -- this method is recommended for others to follow -- if only with one other transcriber.

Thanks Annie & Muriel I have used the One World info on the Ancestry.com site but only as a guide to my own research. Most of the time it's to confirm what I already know. I had one birth in York that seemed to be wrong. I didn't know why this family would be in York to begin with and the name of the mother was wrong. I knew who the wife of this ancestor was and the baptismal record had the wrong name. I later discovered that this child was indeed a child of this couple. Either the baptismal record was wrong and put the child's name in instead of the mother's or the name used was a "nickname" of the mother. That means her name changed 3 times in 30 years. She started as Margaret on the marriage register, then Jemima on this baptism, then Mary Jane from 1860 on in census and on her death registration. Things that don't seem to fit I don't use... but I do make note of them in case I need to use them later.

Many, many thanks, Annie!! So many people put names together and call them a family -- when there is often no relationship at all. Please research a second site, or even a third -- do not rely on the first one. Apologies for not cleaning off the mess at the bottom -- if someone can tell me how to get the "slider" to behave and go with the copy, I would be most grateful!

To all:- The following URL was received today from Rick Roberts and contains BLANK census record sheets for recording OUR personal data when transcribing -- may be useful without claiming pages if only several lines are needed on each page. Personally, I prefer Forms 1 and 2 - one is bilingual. Note:- Ancestry.com has 1911 Nunavut records -- this area was part of North-West Territories until slightly more than 10 years ago. Muriel M.

Good grief Marg in Sunny Alberta - what a stack of information, thank you. I'm very interested in anything on the father of course and in particular. His son George Richard Rosehill Greene left Canada apparently in March 1852 and arrived here in January 1853 -which indicates he went somewhere else first or the ship got stuck for months somewhere - the voyage was usually only 3 - 4 months. And strangely I've not been able to pinpoint his exact arrival although I have a few 'suspects' at this time which I will follow up. George's son was Godfrey Benjamin as his grandfather in Canada - ex Ireland, than name seems to have gone down the line. In George's Obit in 1904 in Australia, it tells that one of his sons, the youngest George Ernest, went to Canada "some years ago" (he was born 1879) at the request of father's relatives there. He died apparently 8/12/1940 in British Columbia. I have no idea why a father would send a son back and leave 2 daughters and another son here. Questions questions. However, something similar happened in my own family where three daughters were taken from Aust. to the Massachusetts where my ggf came from, and left there for 10 years, so I guess it was the way. I shall sit down shortly and read your email in full and have a look at your suggestions. I did quickly note a couple of sites I had seen, - www.bytown.net and where I found the marriage you have below - and noticed the father was supposedly dead by 1847. These things help enormously. My research is mainly the son in Australia but I also like to put a bit about the family in particular the parents and their lives and this is my challenge. With another I am researching Americans and Canadians who came to the northeast of Victoria, Australia, in 1850-1870 period for the gold rushes. Both of us have done a lot of research in that area for our own family lines and noticed many names from North America so took up the challenge to find out about them. The list grew and we have 300 at the moment (g). It's fun and very interesting to see their lives develop and very often they came with family or friends from the same area. This of course we are not aware of until we do the next one and so forth. So a lot of weaving goes on. These men on the whole, have not been noted in the history books and that is our goal, to change that, and to record their contribution to the development of a magnificent part of Australia, for they came when there were no towns or facilities at all, only kangaroos koalas gum trees and kookaburras. Pretty brave people. We feel their lives were important and we want to make sure they are noticed. As you can probably see we are pretty passionate about our work. We've been at it now 18 months and have about a year or so to go on it. Ontario was a great source for men who came to this area, as were men from Maine - we have a few dozen of them from one town and it's surrounds. Absolutely amazing stuff. Many returned home, many moved to other parts, and some stayed in the northeast. IN many cases we have found their descendants here in Australia.

Hi: Here is a great website to check out run by Al Lewis: http://www.bytown.net/ On the main page scroll down until you see a search box. I input Godfrey rather than Green as I thought there might be too many hits just using Green(e) but you might want to try to search both ways and also try "Godfrey Green" in quotes as I have written. On this family tree there are Godfrey Benning Greene 1852 - 1911 and Alicia Laurence Greene ?? - 1898 listed as marrying into the family: http://www.bytown.net/street.htm At the very bottom of that page is an email link to the lady who submitted the info. You might want to contact her to see who the parents were, unless you already know. Here are some great news clippings, near the bottom of this page: http://www.bytown.net/pinhey.htm THE OTTAWA PACKET ---- SATURDAY, AUGUST 28, 1847 --Marriage - "Pinhey - Greene: On Saturday last at Saint Mary's Church, Horraceville, March, C. W., Horace Pinhey, Esq., to Kate, eldest daughter of the late Godfrey Greene, Esq., of Silvermines, Tipperary, Ireland." THE OTTAWA PACKET ---- SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1848 --Birth - "Pinhey; On Sunday, the 9th instant, Mrs. Horace Pinhey, of a daughter." THE OTTAWA PACKET ---- SATURDAY, June 18, 1853 -- Birth - "Pinhey; At Horaceville, March, on Sunday last, the wife of Horace Pinhey, Esq., of a son." There is an email address at the bottom of that page to contact the submitter of the clippings. So from those clippings you now know that Godfrey Greene was deceased by August 28, 1847 and he was from Silvermines, Tipperary, Ireland!! Great WW1 items here, Cyril Godfrey Pinhey and Henry Frankel Pinhey, email contact at the bottom of the page: http://www.bytown.net/ww1.htm You can also use other search words in the search box. There is much on the site about the Pinhey family that the Greene daughter married into. Here is the marriage of their son: 002208-95 (Carleton Co): Godfrey Greene PONKEY(sic), 35, not given, March, Ottawa, s/o Horace & Catherine married Annie Verona JAMES, 22, Hamilton, Ottawa, d/o Henry & Martha.

Here is Olivia's: Ontario, Canada Deaths, 1869-1932 Record County of Carleton, Division of Ottawa Name: Olivia Rebecca Greene Death Date: Nov 1924 Death Location: 58 Primrose Avenue, Ottawa, Carleton County Marital Status: Widow Gender: Female Age: 72 years, 8 months, 17 days Birth: February 29, 1852 at Ottawa Birth Location: Ottawa Parents: Zachariah Wilson, born Canada; and Elizabeth Wilson born March Twp., Carleton County, Ontario Name of Informant: Ainslie Wilson Greene, son 58 Primrose Avenue, Ottawa Burial: Beechwood Cemetery, November 15, 1924 Undertaker: G. H. Rogers Co., Ottawa Physician: J. H. Laidlaw, Ottawa Cause of Death: Cerebral haemorrhage and Arterio Sclerosis Registration number 010124 I did not find the Godfrey Benning Greene who died in March, 1911 online but the kind folks at your nearest LDS family history centre could order in the appropriate death index film first, find the registration number from it, and then order in the death registration itself, if found on the index. Or you could order his interment registry card from Beechwood and that would give his parents names, likely. Here is the Ontario marriage index entry for Godfrey's marriage and with this number you can order the actual marriage registration from the LDS: Ontario Marriage Index, 1858-1899 Record Name: Godfrey Benning Greene Marriage Date: 4 Jun 1876 Marriage Place: Ottawa Registration Number: 001667-76 Ontario Vital Record Registrations for births, marriages and deaths are being transcribed and put online by volunteers, a work in progress and you can access what has been done so far here: http://www.rootsweb.com/~onvsr/ Here are the births of the children of Godfrey and Olivia: Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1907 Record about Elizabeth Mary Greene Name: Elizabeth Mary Greene Date of Birth: 17 Mar 1877 Gender: Female Birth County: Unknown Father's Name: Godfrey Benning Greene, clerk, Ottawa Mother's Name: Olivia Rebecca Wilson Roll Number: MS929_27 Reg. #003206 Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1907 Record Ottawa, Carleton County Name: Godfry Benning Greene Date of Birth: 24 May 1878 Gender: Male Father's Name: Godfrey Benning Greene, clerk, Ottawa Mother's Name: Olivia Rebecca Wilson Roll Number: MS929_32 Reg. #003864 Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1907 Record Ottawa, Carleton County Name: Ainsley Wilson Greene Date of Birth: 29 Aug 1880 Gender: Male Birth County: Unknown Father's Name: Godfrey Benning Greene, bookkeeper, Ottawa Mother's Name: Olivia Rebecca Wilson Roll Number: MS929_42 Reg #003610 Ontario, Canada Births, 1869-1907 Record Ottawa, Carleton County Name: Robert Eric Greene Date of Birth: 16 Sep 1882 Gender: Male Birth County: Unknown Father's Name: Godfrey Benning Green, bookkeeper, Ottawa Mother's Name: Olivia Rebecca Wilson Informant of Birth: G.

Her death might not have been registered. Anyway, hope this helps a bit and good luck with your searching.

Morning from Australia, I'm looking for information on Godfrey Benjamin Green(e) born Ireland, brought his family to Ontario and I believe March Township around 1840. I'm researching his son George who came to Australia in 1850s and would love to learn more about his father Godfrey. I believe there was something to do with River Steamers, but can't find anything on this. If anyone can possibly help it would be great thanks - or even a descendant or two (g) regards Denise

Hi Marg: I googled for a half hour and got Directorys for every other place than Ottawa, there must a trick to using Google that I haven't found yet. Thanks for this.

Bonnie, if you are just simply looking for Peter Groper in the 1935/1936 directories in Ottawa I should be able to check that out for you tomorrow. I spend my lunch hours doing minor research lookups and am working on a couple of other things at the moment but I should be able to get to this if you are interested. Let me know. You can e-mail me directly so we don't clutter the list.

Hello Folks: Does Ottawa (somewhere) have a Look-up service like the Toronto Library has (for a fee) that I could use? I'm looking for Peter Groper in 1935 or 1936. Thanks a lot. Bonnie

Marg: Thank you very much-now I don't know if this is another wife or a mistake. Isn'r amazing how the names get changed makes for more of a challenge. It is nice to say back to you-it is actually sunny here in B.C. ----- Original Message ----- From: "marg mcfarlane" <mmcfarla@telusplanet.net> To: <CAN-ONT-CARLETON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, February 06, 2006 12:08 PM Subject: Re: [Can-Ont-Carleton] Fw: Auclair/Froud > Hi Muriel: > > First of all, births are only available to the public up to 1907 with > another year of records added each Spring so the one you are querying > won't be available on film until abt 2016. > I found the Ontario Death Registration for Walter Froud, Jr: > > Born March 30, 1910 in Ottawa > Died September 14, 1911 at 79 Cumberland Street, Ottawa > Age 6 months > Parents: Walter Froud born Swindon, England > and Eva Auclair, no place of birth given. > Informant of death: Mrs. Walter Froud 79 Cumberland Street, and Dr. S. > Nagle > Cause of Death: Tuburcular Meningitis > Registration number 010443 > > Death: > > Froud, Marie Nellie > Died: December 17, 1910 at 28 Redpath Street, Ottawa > Born December 2, 1910 > Age 15 days > Father: Walter Froud, born Ireland > Mother: Eva Auvlair (sic) born Britannia > Physician: Dr. R.
