To the best of my knowledge, the McCammond family of Nepean township were located in the Britannia Heights area. They were originally Methodists who later joined Britannia United Church. I believe you can obtain family records through the United Church Archives in Toronto. I hope this information is helpful. Doris H.

Dear Dorothy; As we have many McAmmond's in our tree I must answer even when I don't see a connection. Our family were very strict Methodists so I'd suggest you look there. That is not necessary that your family were but it would be a good bet. Hope you find success in locating your family. We have one Barbara in our family born Oct 1; 1874 which doen't match yours. Also a William but that is a brother of Barbara's not a father. Wish you luck in your search.

Over this last summer we (Archive CD Books Canada) made an agreement with The Historical Society of Ottawa to borrow books from their library so we could scan them and make them more readily available through our catalogue. The Historical Society have a great library and we spent a whole afternoon there just "skimming the surface" for interesting books. We came away with a great long list of books we think you will be interested in. The Historical Society of Ottawa keeps its library in the Bytown Museum which is housed in an historic building in Ottawa downtown, right next to the main locks between the Rideau canal and the Ottawa River. We want to thank Christina Tessier, the museum's Director for her cooperation in allowing us to access the library and John Reid of BIFHSGO for his introductions which set this whole project in motion. Please join with us in thanking the Historical Society of Ottawa for their generosity in making their collection more generally available in this way. We are currently working on the first set of these books that the society has allowed us to borrow and the following are now available in our on-line catalogue: - Pioneers of the Upper Ottawa and the Humors of the Valley, by Anson Gard, pub. 1906. Product # CA0189. - Anson Gard's "Ottawa Valley," A compilation of the above book and our previous publication of The Hub and the Spokes, by Anson Gard. Product #CA0196. - Ottawa City Directory 1861-2, by Boyd & McDonald. Product #CA0191 - Report of the Ottawa and Hull Fire Relief Fund. (Did you know of the Great Fire of Ottawa / Hull in 1900?) Product #CA0188 This is just the "first flush" of what we hope will be an extensive line of republications from this library. There are more complete descriptions of these books in our on-line catalogue, and free samplers for you to download, from our web site at: http://www.ArchiveCDBooks.ca

Is there a date?

Garry, Thank you for your reply --they were in Nepean Township - Margaret was said to have married James Lumley -- We have found everything but some evidence that she was actually William and Elizabeth's daughter -- Elizabeth was born in 1842 Margaret was born in 1869 we are told William was born in 1830 and found a marriage record that says his father is Charles and mother Eleanor - thanks Carol Filcek

Hi Carol, Where were they located in Carleton County and what other info do you have? My wife's Mother is a White and I have done extensive research on her family. Garry

I am interested in finding out if anyone on this list has any knowledge of William White born 1830 or Wife Elizabeth born 1842- Also interested in any information on their Children especially Margaret born 1869 -- Carol Filcek

Hi, Just joined this list in hopes of find some missing info about my McAMMOND ancestors. As these events took place before civil registrations started, I am trying to find the church records on the births of: Barbara Ann McAmmond, b. 1865 or 1866 in Nepean Twp. Her parents were William McAmmond and Sidney Irwin. William McAmmond, b. Oct. 18, 1836 in Nepean Twp. His parents were John McAmmond and Jane Foster. Would anyone have access to church records from this time period, or can anyone steer me in the right direction? Would also like to hear from anyone else researching this family. Thanks, Dorothy Quebec, dquebec@sasktel.net.

This reply is very late -- but many thanks!!! I am not the ordinary list administrator who states only names and dates are to be given -- but history rounds out the family picture. Also, as co-chair of the Canada Census Committee, we have been kept very busy -- now it is on with transcribing!! My favorite is http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Theis site is Canada-wide and linked to Library and Archives Canada -- only the first page of two but we will soon have microfiche.

Would like to see if anyone on this list knows about or are related to these two people -- I was told they were married around 1889 Carol

To all -- I forwarded a posting this afternoon about "A New Page Every Day" posted by Sympatico http://remember.sympatico.ca/ The subject on the page will be changed daily. Look carefully -- you will see underlines under all stories and have the speakers on -- the #1 story was about Clare Laking, one of seven WWI vets still alive - Clare and Lloyd Hammett live at Sunnybrook. As Clare's family is not complete on the 1901 census, it did not take many minutes for a reader to forward the 1911 URL http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/1911a/e080/e001990197.pdf Many thanks, Eileen!! We are still not certain about several names. The Seventh Book of Remembrance will be unveiled by Silver Cross Mother Claire Léger - her son Marc was one of four from Princess Patricia's Light Infantry when a bomb was accidentally dropped on them. For the ceremony the book will be opened to the page on which Marc's name is inscribed. The book is an "open end" book, room for more names which we hope are never inscribed. At present, Korean War and the fallen from Newfoundland (joined Canada in 1949) and the recently recognized Merchant Navy. Many write to me, asking about sites where loved ones can be found. These are from the latest Legion magazine, giving the various military cemeteries where family members are buried. www.forces.gc.ca/cemetery or 1-800-883-6094. Eileen forwarded a query re the number of WWI vets remaining alive in Newfoundland -- I hope someone can answer this. The following has been "borrowed" from Lloyd Rowsell's posting http://worldatwar.net/article/newfoundland In Remembrance, Muriel M.

To all:- A subscriber to several of the mail lists I administer has written to me with a very important question we all will have to face at some time. Her mother passed away last week, and the executor of the will is a neighbour who insisted he take on this big last task. What are the duties? What are the important first duties? How far does the neighbour's authority extend? I found one Ontario site -- there are many, but some are American http://www.servicelaw.ca/id59.htm Please reply with any other information no covered on this site to Ruth katolakita@quadro.net Please -- no emails that this is not genealogy -- it really is to help the ones who mourn his/her loss.

There were a few things that weren't working properly and over the last two days I have fixed most of them. I would really like someone's thoughts on what they think. Either through the list or just send them to me personally. The site is www.chodovepeople.com Also, if anyone has already transcribed some of the Canadian census, would you be willing to send me a sample. I am still trying to figure out the best way to go about doing all the census transcriptions. I want to cover all censii ? for all countries eventually and link them all into the trees and such. But, as I do up the 1873 Land Patents for Scotland, I am constantly changing the way I do them. LOL. I have never transcribed something for everyone before, only for my own personal use, so I am unsure of how to go about it and make it so that its useable, searchable and understandable.

To all:- The Milne Report, Fall 2005 arrived today and one item is of special interest. As you read the following, you might like to make YOUR comments to your own Member of Parliament, prior to Third Reading. For your Member of Parliament check http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.html Also let's not forget the Senators!! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Brampton, ON ==================== HILL HAPPENINGS After a quiet summer, we are back to business on the Hill, and I've been asked to sponsor two government bills that are now before the Senate. C-64 amends the Criminal Code to make it an offence to alter or remove the Vehicle Identification Number from a car or any of its parts. Each vehicle made in North America has a unique VIN. One of the first things that car thieves do after stealing a car is to remove or alter the VIN, making it much more difficult to prove that it was stolen. Anyone convicted of this offence could be sent to jail for up to five years. C-65 also amends the Criminal Code to stiffen penalties for street racers. There are many crimes that arise from street racing that range from criminal negligence causing death to careless driving. This provision will guide judges to increase the penalties when anyone involved in street racing is convicted of an offence. Both of these bills are awaiting Third Reading in the House of Commons. Bill C-65 in particular was championed by the late Chuck Cadman, the Conservative member from Surrey, BC. who wanted to increase safety and security on our streets. As sponsor of these bills, I will be presenting the government's position to the Senate, both during debate on the Senate floor, and when the bills are studied by the Senate Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs. Hopefully they will both pass quickly.
