Assuming that the reader has no prior knowledge of the British army, its history or organization, family historian Simon Fowler explains which records survive, where they can be found and how they can help you in your research. More Information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/england/military/105003.htm BOOK - Tracing Your Northern [England] Ancestors, Northumberland, Tyneside, Durham, Wearside, Tees Valley and Cumbria By: Keith Gregson. The far north of England is a key site for family historians. Many researchers, seeking to trace their ancestry back through the generations, will find their trail leads to the north or through it. And yet, despite the burgeoning interest in genealogy and the importance of the region in so many life stories, no previous book has provided a guide to the documents and records that family historians can use in their search. More information http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/england/general/105013.htm BOOKS - Vital Record Notices Extracted from Early Canadian Methodist Periodicals 1830-1890 By Donald A. McKenzie. Mr. McKenzie spent two decades meticulously transcribing genealogical extractions from a variety of Methodist newspapers and periodicals covering the period of 1830 to 1890. Oftentimes these records are the only documented trace of a birth, marriage, death or family connections of an individual in the early 19th Century. For others, these published announcements can contain more or different information than was recorded on surviving church and civil records. A significant percentage of Canadian Protestants in this time-frame adhered to the Methodist faith, while many others accepted the services of Methodist circuit riders when churches of thier faith had not been established in their communities yet.

Rod Neep, Founder of the Archive CD Books Project, Retires. International digitizing project continues through other partner companies The International Archive CD Books Project -- 1 October 2007 -- Effective immediately, Rod Neep, the founder of the Archive CD Books project, is retiring and closing the doors of "Archive CD Books, Ltd.," the British partner company in the international digitization project. The remaining partner companies in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United States carry on with the project, however, and will continue to add to the project's large inventory of digital reproductions of old and rare books that are of interest to family historians. Mr. Neep started the Archive CD Books Project in 2000 as a result of recognizing a need to make certain old and rare documents more readily available to genealogy researchers and family historians. The growth of his business was explosive and within three years he had made more than 1,500 valuable titles available through his company web site. At about the same time, he was instrumental in setting up two new independent partner companies in Australia and Canada. Since then he has added two more companies in the USA and Ireland. Thus the International Archive CD Books Project took shape and continues to develop its inventory of valuable reproductions. As always, each of the partner companies will continue to provide access to the Archive CD Books international inventory through its own web site while focusing on the digitization of additional works that were originally published in the local country. Each remaining partner company also has plans to make digital reproductions of some material that was originally published in Great Britain, continuing the good work of the project's founder. Rod Neep said "I am really happy that the concept of the Archive CD Books project will be continuing in the safe hands of the international partners, and I wish them all the best of success in the future". "We wish Rod every happiness and success as he moves on to take up new interests, many of which we understand will involve a golf course," said a spokesman for the other partner companies. "We are already in the process of making sure that Rod's customers will be looked after and we have plans for some exciting announcements in the near future," he said. The principals in the remaining partner companies are Alan & Stephen Phillips (Australia), Chris and Malcolm Moody (Canada), Brian Donovan (Ireland), and Bob Velke (USA). About the Project: The Archive CD Books Project exists to make digital reproductions of old books and other materials available to the public, to donate original publications to libraries and other institutions, and to cooperate with these repositories to preserve their existing collections for future generations.

Plus the usual news, gossip and announcements. -------------------------- To find a book on CD on our web site http://www.archivecdbooks.ca take a note of the catalogue number - or use the “copy” function - go to the web site, click on the “Search Page” link and enter, or “paste,” the number into the “Product Number” box. Hit “Search” and then “More” and you will be in a position to reread the description or to place your order. Alternatively you can browse through the catalogue using the drop down headings lists. We have tried to multi-list books where they correspond to more than one category but consider the possibility that the subject you are looking for may be under a related heading. There is frequently more information about the books available on the web site than that which is included in the following descriptions. All prices in $Cdn. ----------------------------- 3 NEW CANADIAN RELEASES (2): * The White Chief of the Ottawa -1903 CA0256: Although written in the narrative style usually associated with a novel, the author assures us that this is not fiction but a depiction of the facts and events exactly as they occurred, or exactly as her research told her that they occurred. The tale being told is that of the first settlement of the "white man" in the Ottawa valley, that being the long fertile valley through which the Ottawa - or sometimes the Grand - river flows and today passes by the Canadian Capital city. Philemon Wright, that first settling farmer, in fact set up his homestead on the north shore of the Ottawa river directly opposite the present site of the capital city in what is today the city of Hull, Quebec. He judged the North bank to be superior for the purpose of farming and it was several years before there was any settlement in the site of the present city of Ottawa. Let me hasten to make it clear that being the first settling farmer doesn't make Philimon Wright the first visitor to this area. Far from it. There were many hunters and trappers of both european and aboriginal extraction working and living along the river's banks at the time of his arrival, and these people play an important role in the evolving story of the Wright family. Bertha Wright Carr-Harris, the author chooses to add authenticity to her account by writing the supposed speech of many of these characters in a sort of phonetic imitation of their accents, including using the actual words they would have spoken, usually a mixture of English, French and the local tribe's dialect. This is a practice that certainly adds color to the story although it does necessitate the reader taking a few stops along the way to sound-out a word before it can be understood. As Bertha develops her tale of the Wright family we learn a great deal about the life of a settler in the early 1800's. Of their joys. Of their hardships, their fortunes and their misfortunes. A great resource if you want to put some "meat" on the "bones" of your ancestral settlers history. While this is more like a story than a conventional “history” book it still contains information specific to particular families and about specific locations so our FastFind search-ability feature will be found to be a great asset, particularly as Bertha omitted to index her original text. This valuable book has been loaned to us by its proud owner, Karen Prytula. We were pleased to receive her offer to allow us to scan the book so we could help her to preserve it and at the same time make it more available. Please join us in thanking Karen, and letting her know that her generosity is being appreciated. You will find a free Sampler of this CD on our Downloads page. ---------------------------------- 4 COMING SOON: I'm fairly confident that we can complete our current project soon so look out for our, full color, CD version of one of the well know "Illustrated Historical County Atlases." In addition we will be working on another of our Gt. War series and another of Karen's great Ottawa Valley books. ---------------------------------- 5 NEW RELEASES FROM OUR PARTNERS: We frequently foreshorten the descriptions of the new releases published in this newsletter.

Spread over 126 pages, listing more than 4,500 names, and published in 1912, this Limerick directory comprises a comprehensive business listing spread over ten pages as well as approximately three and a half thousand names in a postal directory for the city and suburbs. There are also further pages of advertisements giving additional details on many of the businesses. Supplementing the business and residential listings is a comprehensive list of the public bodies, as well as educational and religious institutions. Also included are the dates and details for all the fairs of Munster, in addition to a thorough postal and telegraph directory for the entire county. The directory is rounded off with other useful information such as foreign money and British equivalents, commercial stamp duties, property and income tax, land value duties, and information on national insurance. This is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in early twentieth century Limerick or pre-Gt. War business in Ireland. * Statistical Survey of Meath, 1802 IET0065: Published in 1802, the Statistical Survey of the County of Meath is aptly subtitled by its author, Robert Thompson of Oatland: 'with observations of the means of improvement, drawn up for the consideration and under the direction of the Dublin Society' The publication of the Statistical Survey of the County Meath traces its origins to the 1740s, but is was not until the inauguration of the Dublin Society - later the Royal Dublin Society - that plans to publish a statistical survey for each county came to fruition. By 1832 The Society had published survey for twenty-three of the thirty- two counties, although ultimately seven counties would not be surveyed.The Statistical Survey for the County Meath is one of the earliest surveys published by the Society and like its companion surveys aimed primarily to determine the 'actual state, capabilities and defects of agriculture, manufactures and rural economy'. The Statistical Surveys were conducted under the central direction of the Dublin Society and its successor, the result of which is a uniform quality and presentation of material on pre-Famine Ireland. Although primarily concerned with the state of agriculture and the rural economy as a whole, the importance of the Statistical Surveys transcend this narrow aim. In recording statistical data on the state and conduct of agriculture, most authors detailed the myriad aspects of Irish rural society that formed part of the rural economy and in these respects the Statistical Survey of the County of Meath is no exception. Containing more than four hundred pages, the Meath survey is divided into seventeen chapters introduced by a chapter on thee geographical and climatic conditions prevalent in each of Meath's baronies. In common with the other published surveys, five chapters are given over to the nature of agricultural production in Meath. These chapters range in scope from the types of livestock - cattle to bees and rabbits - and the nature of pasture, arable, tillage and bog land as well as that to the husbandry of wooded plantations. The remaining chapters record the other aspects of the society, economy and legislature that together could be described as the rural economy of county Meath in 1802 and it is perhaps these aspects that are especially interesting. Robert Thompson details and describes Meath's housing stock ranging from the landed estates to labourer's cottages; records the size of farms, 'character of farmers', nature of rents, tenure, tithes and the general state of education in the county. He also records in some considerable detail the different forms of agricultural labour present in Meath and provides a template of the accounts that each labouring family might be expected to produce. This shows how an agricultural labourer earned his livelihood, be it in wages, food, fuel, land, etc., and as such the Survey as a whole details some of the minutia of Meath's pre-Famine rural society. Compared to most other counties, the list of the means for improving Meath's agricultural economy was a short one. The author identified the chief hurdle to improvement as the lack of capital to small farmers and the drain on the county's financial wealth by the many absentee landlords owning land in the count. The Statistical Survey of the County of Meath is presented here in CDRom format and as such is full searchable and will make an invaluable addition to those interested in the pre-Famine conditions of rural county Meath. * Down and its Parish Church IET0070: Published in 1907 by L.A. Pooler, D.D., Rector of Down and Canon of St. Patrick's Cathedral Dublin, at the request of the Vestry of the Parish of Down, this is a unique insight into the history of the parish, the cathedral and its clergy. There are lists of the clergy going back as far as 499 A.D., curates from 1615, churchwardens from 1636, parochial nominators from 1704 and sidesmen from 1704. There are also biographical notes on the rectors of the parish, including Pooler himself, as well images of some of the rectors. There is a short history of the parochial schools as well as pictures of the students from the Blue Coats schools in 1888. Littered with several excellent photographs and images, this is a must have publication for anyone interested in the history of the Parish of Down. * Leet's Directory (2nd ed., 1814) IET0071: The closing decades of the eighteenth century witnessed considerable improvements in the quality of the communications infrastructure in Ireland, and consequent increases in economic activity and trade. These developments and improvements enhanced the demand for directories, travel guides and topographical accounts. To meet this demand, new road atlases and descriptive accounts began to appear. Notable among these were the Maps of the roads of Ireland by George Taylor and Andrew Skinner, William Wilson's Post-chaise companion and James Solas Dodd's Topographical director through Ireland, versions of each of which are available from us on CD-ROM. Ambrose Leet's Directory to the market towns, villages and gentlemen's seats and other noted places in Ireland was one of the first nineteenth century Irish directories to appear in print, and provides alternative information and additional details to that presented in the various earlier publications. Leet's directory was compiled under the authority of the General Post Office, for the purpose of encouraging trade, communications and 'public correspondence'. First published in 1812, a second edition, with corrections and additions, appeared in 1814. It is the second, corrected, edition that has been published here. This is an impressive publication of more than 450 pages, and is packed with vital information for the historian and genealogist, researching early nineteenth-century Ireland. The information is presented in convenient, columnar fashion, listing, in alphabetical order, the names of approximately 20,000 locations throughout Ireland, including towns, villages, estates and gentlemen's seats. For each location, the county in which it is situated and the nearest post town is listed, but additional information is also provided, which varies, depending on the character of the particular location. Villages and market towns are conveniently noted, and in many case, the ecclesiastical diocese is also recorded. Researchers interested in identifying the distribution of estate houses and gentleman's seats will be pleased to see that these are particularly well covered by Leet, with the then proprietor of each listed seat recorded. A detailed index of persons' names is also provided.Since the publication was undertaken under the authority of the Post Office, it concludes with a listing of postage rates from all post towns to Dublin, and from the principal postage ports (Dublin, Waterford and Donaghadee) to Britain, Europe and the Empire.The alphabetical presentation of the information makes this an easy source to use. For the added convenience of users, this version of Leet's directory, like most of our CDs, is fully searchable. Consequently, it is strongly recommended to researchers as an important research tool. * Francis Elrington Ball's A History of the County of Dublin (6 vols, 1902-20) IET0073: The Reverend Francis Elrington Ball's six-volume A History of the County of Dublin was published in Dublin by Alexander Thom and Co. between 1902 and 1920. The subtitle to Ball's publication - 'the people, parishes, and antiquities from the earliest times to the close of the eighteenth century' provides a good indication on the intent and scope of Ball's work, which remains to this day one of the most widely used sources on history of County Dublin. Ball based his publications on the geography of the civil parishes of Dublin County and provides a digest of the history and antiquities of note of more than fifty in more than 1,100 pages of text, while giving an entire volume over to the history of Howth and its owners. Although Ball did not intend to replace John D'Alton's 1838 History of County Dublin, which had remained the most comprehensive text on the county until the end of the 19thcentury, Ball did intend, and to a large extent succeed in filling in the notable gaps in D'Alton's text, while also recommending "A History" to what Ball called 'the ordinary reader'.A History of County Dublin is especially authoritative on the political and ecclesiastical history and the dominant personalities associated with each parish from the mid- sixteenth century until the Act of Union, drawing on sources such as the Reports of the Deputy Keeper of Records; Chancery and Exchequer Inquisitions; Calendars of Irish State Papers; the Deeds of Christ Church Cathedral together with a plethora of manuscript material and published sources as well as seconding many of the most prominent historical and archaeological men of learning to aid his endeavours, such as Tenison Groves, Arthur Vicars, William Reynell and many others. Many sketches, etchings, photographs and maps and provided to illustrate the historical narrative throughout. As an introduction to each parochial history, Ball provides a reproduction of the Ordnance Survey of Ireland Map for the parish, provides the contemporary townland names in Irish and English associated with each - together with their meanings - and illustrates how these have variously been recorded in the historical annals and how these may have changed over time. Many recently published well- known works treating on the history of every aspect of Dublin still owe a huge debt of gratitude to the work undertaken by Ball almost a century ago. The current re-publication of Ball's complete History of the County Dublin by Archive CD Books Ireland is fully searchable and is a must for anybody interested in the history of county Dublin. * Smith's, The Ancient and Present State of the County and City of Cork, 1774, 2nd ed. 2 vols IET0075: Charles Smith M.D. (1715-1762) was one of Ireland's earliest topographers and county historians as well as being a physician. Having worked on his histories of Down (1744), Waterford (1746) "The Ancient and Present State of the County and City of Cork" was first published in 1750. This was followed by a history of County Kerry published in 1756. The edition in this publication is the second edition published in 1774. Spread over two volumes and nine hundred pages The Ancient and Present State of the County and City of Cork is a comprehensive study of the "natural, civil, ecclesiastical, historical, and topographical" status of Cork county and city. Dedicated to Henry Boyle, one of the Lord Chief Justices' and later Earl of Shannon, Smith intended the work to promote improvement in the county itself. Each volume is divided into two books. Book one covers the ancient names of the territories and the inhabitants, as well as dealing with the ecclesiastical state of the county and the geographical layout. Book two covers the general topography of the county and then deals with baronies themselves in greater detail. Greater attention is paid to Mallow and of course the city of Cork itself. The book, and the first volume, closes with the present state of the city touching on such areas as churches, hospitals, franchises and privileges, militia and finishes with a list of magistrates of the city from 1199 to 1773. Book three deals with the civil history of the county. Beginning with some incidents that were recorded before the arrival of the English, continuing with the arrival of the English up to the death of Henry VIII, the reign of Queen Elizabeth and the rebellions of the Earl of Desmond, the reign of James I and Charles I, the 1641 Rebellion, the restoration of Charles II and finishing with his death and an account to the time of writing. Book four, the final part, covers areas of the natural history of County Cork. This includes such diverse topics as the rise and progress of the rivers in the county, the medicinal waters of the county, fish and fisheries, rare and unusual plants, a catalogue of birds, fossil's found, phenomena observed in the air, ancient monuments, and some brief notes on "remarkable persons" who lived in the county, such as Mary Barry, a poor woman who was in 1750 approximately 106 years old! For anyone with an interest in the County Cork, the two volumes of The Ancient and Present State of the County and City of Cork are a must have. This is a fantastic source spanning from some of the earliest days of the county right up to the mid eighteenth century. † ----------------------------------- 6 NEWS & GOSSIP: If any of you have genealogy related questions of a general nature - or something specifically related to Archive CD Books - we'd be glad to publish your question in this newsletter to tap into the enormous fund of knowledge which I know is out there.

Greetings All. In the last issue of my column, 'Gordon Watts Reports', I included an article relating to the reduction of manned service hours in Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. The hours of 'manned' service were being reduced without there having been any known public consultation. It seems that someone in LAC listened to the concerns expressed by myself and others. Library and Archives Canada has extended an invitation to its clients to an informal discussion where they will be able to ask questions and obtain explanations on the latest changes related to client services. The session will be on September 19th from 2:30 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. in room "A" in 395 Wellington Street, Ottawa. Everyone is welcome to attend. I would urge anyone living in the Ottawa area that has concerns regarding the cutback in service hours at LAC to attend this meeting if possible. I would appreciate someone attending advising me as to what takes place at the meeting. Gordon A.

Hello all, I need help from anyone who has any kind of books or resources for lookups. I have been researching the Curley line and can't seem to find a death date or cemetery listing or anything else for our Bridget and Huge/Hugh Curley. The only evidence of them for sure is in 1851 Chinqacousy Census, Peel Co, Ontario. Any help would be truely appreciated. This has been my brick wall. I have pasted my notes below. Thanks so much for taking the time to read this. Debbie in MI Notes: I have Huge/Hue/Hugh Curley b. about 1794 in Taum, Galway, Ireland. His wife was Bridget b. about 1802 also in the Taum area. Their son Thomas H. Curley was born in 1827 in Ireland. I am not sure when they came to Canada but I suspect it was by 1832. I can't be sure about this. Thomas married in Canada Susanna Everson in about 1849. The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, Peel Co., Ontario shows Thomas and Susanna have Thomas's parents, Huge and Bridget living with them. I have been trying for years to find out what ever happened to Thomas's parents Hugh and Bridget Curley. I am looking for their place of death, burial, anything. Thomas and his father Hugh were both stone masons (bricklayers). Eventualy Thomas moved down to Michigan to do some brick work and liked it so much that He and his wife moved down to Michigan. Thomas died in 1877. Will gladly share any info with others in this line. Thanks, debbie Thomas H. /Curley/ Thomas Curley was born in Ireland and came to Canada and married there. Thomas and wife Susanna moved to Michigan about 1853 or 1854. Records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Chinquacousy Township, Ontario, Canada in 1851. Later records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Paisly, Bruce Co., Ontario in 1865 when they signed papers to quit-claim Susanna interest in the estate of her father. (info from Carl Everson) The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, District 4 page 199 shows that Thomas and Susanna also have Thomas's parents in the house, Bridget and Hugh. There is also a boy named Francis Matdam (or Madden) born in Ireland that is only 10 years old living with them. I have no idea who this boy is. It also shows that Thomas and his father are both masons, and that they all live in a frame house that is 1 1/2 stories.

No “dogs” here - far from it - although there is a dog harness! More later ...... This newsletter will be published whenever we have enough information to make it worth your while reading, but that usually means there will be about one a month. Remember this Newsletter is published for you so if you think we’re missing something important drop me a line to Malcolm@ArchiveCDBooks.ca. Newsletters work best when they get a good circulation. We’re doing our best to let people know about it but you could help us along by mentioning it to your genealogy buddies and generally spreading the word. please feel free to pass this copy along but only in its complete form. All newsletter administration messages should be e-mailed to Books@ArchiveCDBooks.ca In the Subject line you may write: Subscribe Unsubscribe Halt (if you want to put a temporary stop to receiving newsletters) Resume (to lift the Halt and resume receiving newsletters.) All previous newsletters may be accessed by logging on to http://www.ArchiveCDBooks.ca/NewsletterArchive.html 2 WHAT’S IN THE NEWSLETTER: Two more new Canadian and 10 new US releases. Last month I was being very cagy agout our Canadian releases for this month would be. Well, I was well advised to be cautious. While the new directory was in our queue, during one of our “field” searches we came across another interesting book . The owner wouldn’t part with it , but he did loan it to us and we took the opportunity to add it to another book we have been waiting to reproduce for some time to make a CD about our ancestors main source of motive power - the horse. The compilation of a book about horse training and with a catalogue of horse harness and stock tools provides a peek back into a time before motor cars. Oh, and yes, the catalogue even has a harness so man’s best friend can be man’s best helper too. Plus the usual news, gossip and announcements. -------------------------- To find a book on CD on our web site http://www.archivecdbooks.ca take a note of the catalogue number - or use the “copy” function - go to the web site, click on the “Search Page” link and enter, or “paste,” the number into the “Product Number” box. Hit “Search” and then “More” and you will be in a position to reread the description or to place your order. Alternatively you can browse through the catalogue using the drop down headings lists. We have tried to multi-list books where they correspond to more than one category but consider the possibility that the subject you are looking for may be under a related heading. There is frequently more information about the books available on the web site than that which is included in the following descriptions. All prices in $Cdn. ----------------------------- 3 NEW CANADIAN RELEASES (2): * Saskatoon Telephone Directory, 1944 CA0230: A standard subscriber issue telephone directory for both metropolitan and rural Saskatoon for February 1944. Rural districts include the hamlets of Cheviot, Clarkís Crossing, Floral, Pike Lake and Warman. In addition to the subscriberís name their address and the type of address, i.e., residence, business, etc. is given. As usual the pages of the directory are liberally sprinkled with local advertising but the 24 page Classified Business Directory at the rear of the book is a bonus directory of Saskatoon industry. As a directory all entries are alphabetized so finding a name is a simple matter of paging through. Never the less we have made the whole directory computer searchable and then enhanced the search-ability with our FastFind technology. This will allow you to use advanced search techniques such as, for instance, identifying all the people subscribed on a single road, or all the “plumbers,” including those not entered in the classified part of the directory. An excellent tool for tracing family members, and others, living in Saskatoon in 1944. As usual we have placed a freely downloadable sampler on our site for your review. * Horse and Harness CA0178-S: This CD is a compilation of two books about the use of horses for motive power and for transportation. Before the general use of the internal combustion engine almost the only general, land based, alternate to human muscle was to harness the muscles of animals, and the first choice of animals was the horse. As a result our ancestors built up a body of knowledge about the care, training and harnessing of horses in much the same way that we today, understand and care for our motor-cars. The two books reproduced on this CD provide a look back at two aspects of this erstwhile “common” knowledge: • A New System of Horse Training or Education was written by Prof. H. D. Brush, and published in 1902. In his preface Prof. Brush explains that his objective in writing the book, apart from “earning a dollar,” was to record the essence of the system of horsemanship which he had developed, and “now” taught in his classes. He also wanted to put the information into a form that could be carried in the pocket for easy reference in the field. This has left a valuable resource which allows us to understand the essence of his ideas on training, or in his word, “educating,” the horse so that the maximum benefit can be obtained out of its great strength and stamina, while attending to its welfare and general health. A well written, practical, to-the-point guide to the horse. As applicable today as it was 100 years ago - with the one proviso that expert advice should be sought before considering any of the “cures” and veterinary treatments described. While the training methods may still work, veterinary medicine certainly has advanced and many of Prof. Brushís “cures” appear highly undesirable today. • Harness Catalogue No.10 - Hugh Carson Co. Ltd. - c1920. The Hugh Carson company was one of a dozen or so harness manufacturing and supply companies in Ottawa at the beginning of the 1900’s. This catalogue is not dated, but based on various pieces of information in the catalogue a little research places its issue between 1910 and 1930. This was the period when internal combustion powered vehicles were beginning to be serious competition to horse powered transportation and so represents what might be considered the pinnacle of the production and use of horse harness. Approximately 2/3 of the contents of the catalogue is dedicated to full harness sets in weights ranging from the lightest buggy harness all the way through to the heaviest lumber hauling harness, both for single horses and for teams. Each harness is beautifully illustrated in use and supported with a complete description of the component parts. The remainder 1/3 of the catalogue displays individual examples of some of the harness components and of many other necessities for care of and use of both the harness and for stock in general, including both horses and cattle. There is even, on one page, an illustration of a dog harness. To increase the value of this CD as a research reference we have made the text of the publications computer searchable and enhanced the search speed with our FastFind technology. A freely downloadable sampler is available on our web site. An invaluable reference to a body of knowledge which is slowly disappearing. ---------------------------------- 4 COMING SOON: There are a couple of books at the head of our queue for scanning but we are anticipating some difficulties with at least one of them.

Please check the on-line catalogue on our web site to ensure you are receiving all the available information. * Colonial Families of the Southern States of America US0316: Author: Stella Pickett Hardy Pages: 752 Pub. Date: 1911 The author has gathered information on more than sixty prominent southern colonial families, mostly early settlers of Virginia and Maryland, tracing many branches through the Revolutionary and Civil War periods. The result is a compilation of genealogical data on more than ten thousand individuals. Hardy has concentrated on families who were active in civil and military affairs, so one will find here accounts of such families as the Byrds, Carters, Lees and Washingtons. Lineages will be found to several presidents, and to many generals and other high officers in the Confederate Army, although some Union officers will be found as well. This volume was compiled largely by correspondence or direct contact with living members of the various families. As a result, some of the most valuable information to be found here is that on the nineteenth-century individuals. Family members giving information to the author would have reliable data on the most recent generations, during a time when vital records were not required to be recorded in these localities. * The Expansion of New England US0320: Full Title -The Expansion of New England: The Spread of New England Settlement and Institutions to the Mississippi River, 1620-1865 Author: Lois Kimball Mathews Pages: 29 maps (many in color), 370 Pub. Date: 1909 The author narrates the chronology of the settlement of New England in the colonial period and then the migration of New Englanders and their culture to the west and south in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The story is illustrated with many carefully drawn and informative maps. Mathews begins with the small number of settlements along the coast of New England in the 1620s, and then describes the rapid establishment of new towns resulting from the Great Migration of the 1630s. She goes on to show the further expansion of settlement as the population grew by natural means. She pays special attention to the reversals in the numbers of settlements consequent to the various conflicts with the Indians. Within a very short time New Englanders moved to regions that are now part of New York and New Jersey, and in the late eighteenth century this pattern accelerated. There were a few outposts of New Englanders in the south as well. After the Revolution New England migration spread further west into New York and also into Pennsylvania. Then, in the early nineteenth century the migration of New Englanders (or of those descended from New Englanders) continued on into the Old Northwest, making substantial contributions to the early settlement of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin. An important feature of this volume is the large number of maps, which contribute to a clear visualization of the settlement progress. The author created a map for nearly every decade of the period from 1620 to 1685. A very useful feature of the maps for the states west of New England is a distinction between those areas settled by New Englanders and those areas settled by others. * Compendium of New England Gazetteers US0401: Pages: 4600+ Pub.

Date: 1886 This early gazetteer of about 630 pages is principally an alphabetical description of "every town, plantation, mountain, lake, and bay" within the State of Maine along with its topography, boundaries, history, and statistics. In most cases, the author also details the original settlers, early churches and ministers, and other prominent citizens of each town. This traditional 19th-century gazetteer is preceded by detailed history of the State comprising some 60 pages. In narrative style, the author describes the State as a whole and its bays, harbors, capes, islands, mountains, valleys, rivers, lakes, ponds, and other geographic features. An interesting section describes the Swedish Emigration of 1870, the solicitation of some 25 families from Sweden to populate the "wild lands" of the State. The successful settlement became known as "New Sweden" in Aroostook County. Additional sections of the book describe the geology, climate, vegetation, native birds, fishes and other animals. The author also to great lengths to itemize the early institutions with sections devoted to "Railroads and Telegraphs," "Civil Divisions and Population", "Government, Finances, and Military Organizations," "Charitable and Reformatory Institutions", "Education, Literature, and the Public Press." Further sections explore the religion of the State, the history of native Indians, and the civil history, including "The War of the Rebellion." The author has compiled a valuable for reference for researchers who are interested in the early settlers and history of the State. * Gazetteer of the State of New Hampshire US0335: Author: Eliphalet Merrill and Phinehas Merrill, Esq. Pages: 232 Pub. Date: 1817 This is the first gazetteer ever published for the State of New Hampshire (1817) and a wonderful resource for researchers because it identifies many places by names which have otherwise been lost to history. Its three parts offer "A comprehensive Geographical and Statistical view of the whole State," "A description of each county, town, or location in the State; also of its lakes, rivers, ponds, and mountains," and "Topographical and Statistical Tables." In addition to a detailed history and physical description of each place, this very early work identifies many of the earliest settlers of the State with a strong focus on churches and their early ministers. The descriptions also include a recital of the early populations, educational institutions and industries. Sprinkled throughout are a number of anecdotes of harrowing encounters between the new settlers and the native American Indians. The final section of the book provides tables of the course and distance between towns, a count of horses, cattle, and sheep by town, and other interesting statistics. This very rare book paints a fascinating picture of the 18-century New England frontier. * Gazetteer of the States of Connecticut and Rhode Island US0337: Author: John C. Pease and John M. Niles Pages: 2 maps + 398 Pub. Date: 1819 In this very early gazetteer, the authors compiled an exhaustive description of Connecticut and Rhode Island as of 1819, including the topography, history, and statistics of each county, town, city, burrough, and village in the State. Of special interest to genealogists, the authors include frequent biographies of the town founders, early settlers, ministers, and other prominent citizens. There is also much detail about the manufacturing, agricultural, fisheries, and other commercial interests in each town as well as a description of local governments, schools, churches, navigable waterways, and local native American tribes. Two fascinating early maps, one of each State, are also included in high resolution. * Road and County Map of Connecticut and Rhode Island and Gazetteer... and Business Directory US0338: Author: P.J. Hannifan and Co. Pages: map + 498 Pub. Date: 1898 The title of this book is misleading because, although it does contain a detailed color map of Connecticut and Rhode Island, the bulk of the book is designed as a business directory and advisor. It is fascinating in its own right, having been written "With Historical, Biographical, Political, Law, and Other Valuable Information Useful for the Office, Store, and Home." With the business owner principally in mind, it includes a dictionary of business terms and summary of laws relating to contracts, trademarks, naturalization, and suffrage, among others. It also includes examples of legal transactions, contracts, and list of weights and measures, legal holidays, and more. The book is full of interesting articles like how to calculate interest, measure corn in a crib, determine the weight of live cattle, measure crops per acre, detect counterfeit money, among other utilitarian advice for merchants, farmers, and business owners. Other articles which are revealing of 19th-century life include recipies for housekeepers (cleaning supplies, etc.), antidotes for poison, and rules of etiquette ("Allowing the dress to trail on the street is in exceedingly bad taste. Such a street costume simply calls forth and contempt from the more sensible people.") There are also summaries, lists, and statistics of world history, temperatures, populations, cities, bridges, mountains, distances, time zones, principal exports, inventions and improvements, world records for on air, land, and sea, and other "Facts Worth Knowing and Remembering." Historians will appreciate a detailed timeline and desciption of causes of the events of U.S. wars, biographies of the heroes of those wars, of signers of the Declaration of Independence, and of Presidents of the United States. For the sake of completeness, the book even includes copies of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States. Of perhaps more interest to family researchers, the book is interspersed with thousands of advertisements of local (Connecticut and Rhode Island) businesses with the names of proprietors, business descriptions, and street addresses. * The Statistics and Gazetteer of New-Hampshire US0328: Containing Descriptions of all of the Counties, Towns and Villlages; Also Boundaries and Area of the State and its Natural Resources Author: Alonzo J. Fogg Pages: 714 Pub. Date: 1874 The bulk of this volume contains a detailed description of every city, town, and county within the State of New Hampshire, including a description of each with respect to its geographic position, population, and its "mountains, lakes, ponds, rivers and streams, its summer resorts, villages, and manufactories, resources, churches, public schools, libraries, hotels, railroads, &c." Of particular interest to genealogists, however, will be the author's focus on the history of the State, including details about the first settlers in each town, the first ministers, etc. Utilizing more than 100 pages in tables, each county is also described in detail in terms of its "value of their manufactories, farm productions, railroads, newspapers, national banks, savings banks, insurances, post-offices &c." Later chapters itemize the educational institutions, assessed valuation of its businesses, number of deaths by town, and other interesting historical statistics. The last chapter includes an historical list of the State's Governors, Justices of the higher courts, and State and Legislative officers, among other things. It even includes a copy of the Constitution of New Hampshire (1792). A very interesting section gives a history "The Wheelwright Deed," said to have been given to Rev. John Wheelwright in 1629 by four Sagamore Indian tribes and conveying territory which represented more than one third of the New Hampshire prior to 1750. The author relates in detail the controversy surrounding the document and analyzes the evidence for and against the claims that it may be a forgery. * History of Vermont US0344: Natural, Civil, and Statistical in Three Parts, with a new Map of the State, and 200 engravings. Author: Zadock Thompson Pages: map + 508Pub. Date: 1842, 1853 This original 1842 publication includes a detailed description and physical geography of the State of Vermont as well as elaborate descriptions (and more than 200 original engravings) of its animals and plants, including their history, description, and general characteristics. Individual chapters describe the quadupeds, birds, reptiles, fishes, invertebrates, and botany of the State. In addition, however, this publication includes an "appendix" of 1853 which, with more than 300 pages, is larger than the original publication. In this section, the author elaborates on the natural history of the state and supplements it with a detailed description of its civil history, including sections dedicated to the Indian and Colonial Wars, the settlement and controversy with New York, the Revolutionary War, legislative proceedings, political institutions, education and literature, religious institutions, and native Indian inhabitants. The last section of the book is Thompson's Gazetteer of Vermont with "topographical and historical descriptions of all of the counties, towns, rivers, mountains, &c., alphabetically arranged." Of particular interest to researchers, it frequently includes short biographies of the town founders, early settlers, ministers, and other prominent citizens. * Walton's Vermont Register & Farmers Almanac for 1879 US0347: Author: E.P. Walton, Pages: map + 288 The first part of this rare book is a 19-century business directory of Vermont with the names of all of the towns and post offices in the state. For each of these is listed the population in 1870 and the names of town officers, justices, professional and business men, including manufacturers, merchants, lawyers, postmasters, physicians, and ministers, among others. A pocket calendar includes some handwritten memoranda from the original owner which are preserved as a matter of interest. The middle section of the book contains the names of local representatives in the Federal, State and county governments, as well as thousands of judges and other judicial and law enforcment personnel, including county clerks, commissioners, State's attorneys, sheriffs, bailleffs, county auditor's etc., organized by county. It also includes tables and lists with a description of State societies and the names of their leaders, railroads, newspapers and publishers, churches, institutions of learning, prisons, and much more. Researchers will therefore find a valuable list of thousands of prominent 19th-century Vermont residents. As with more modern Farmer's Almanacs, the book also contains handy reference charts for postal rates, currency exchange rates, phases of the moon, and a variety of interesting vinyettes like how to calculate interest. The last section includes hundreds of advertisements from Vermont businesses that are reproduced in their entirety and full-text searchable, as is the rest of the book. Finally, the book also contains a 1879 fold-out map of Vermont and New Hampshire, reproduced here in high-resolution. ----------------------------------- 6 NEWS & GOSSIP: If any of you have genealogy related questions of a general nature - or something specifically related to Archive CD Books - we'd be glad to publish your question in this newsletter to tap into the enormous fund of knowledge which I know is out there. * DO YOU KNOW THIS COUPLE? We have had no “takers” for the news-clipping so far. The offer stands: Our copy of "The Story of Dundas," CA0087, contained two loose news clippings about the wedding of Mr. Burleigh Warren to Miss Annie Marie Strachan on 17 October 1923(?) probably in Hamilton, although the clipping says the couple subsequently took up their married life in Dundas*. We have included scans of these clippings on the CD as additional information but would like to see the original clippings go to a good home, so the first person who can prove a family connection with this couple is welcome to take these clippings into their care. There is a "lo-res" scan of the clippings included in the CA0087 Sampler - see our Downloads page.  * Although these clippings were in a book about Dundas county we are wondering if the Dundas referred to might be the community of this name in the Hamilton area, rather than the county. The clippings give no hint. * SUMMER SIZZLER SALE.

There was glitch with our description of one title in the newsletter that was sent out this morning: The web page description has been replaced with the correct one and has been reposted. BOOK - A Very Brilliant Affair, The Battle of Queenston Heights, 1812. By Robert Malcomson. This new look at the battle tackles many of the myths that have grown over the years. Was Brock the hero of the day? Was this a victory for the Canadian militia? Were the oft-maligned New York militia responsible for their army's defeat? What was the role of the native allies of the British? Could the American invading force have won? Robert Malcomson's exciting and readable account will add a new level of appreciation for the drama and significance of the War of 1812.

By Robert Malcomson. The famous War of 1812 battle in which American forces invaded Canada across the Niagara River and General Isaac Brock was killed. The book explores the multiple roles of a reserve regiment in peace and war and how these have remained constant over the years despite changes in society and in warfare. Reserve (or militia) regiments have been the foundation of the Canadian military and its ability to mobilize for war and civil emergencies. Reservists train to the combat-ready status of the full-time soldier, and their involvement creates a strong link between their regiment and the community.

All previous newsletters may be accessed by logging on to http://www.ArchiveCDBooks.ca/NewsletterArchive.html 2 WHAT’S IN THE NEWSLETTER: Two new Canadian releases. One on the Great War theme which I mentioned last month. Perhaps the most remarkable thing about this one is its FREE! Read on. The second release is another of those highly informative County Histories, so many of which were published during the years around the previous millennia change. This one concerns Dundas, a county in the south east of Ontario. Also find the remainder of the enormous release of titles from our international partners. This influx of new materials has raised the extent of our complete catalogue to over 3000 titles! Plus the usual news, gossip and announcements. -------------------------- To find a book on CD on our web site http://www.archivecdbooks.ca take a note of the catalogue number - or use the “copy” function - go to the web site, click on the “Search Page” link and enter, or “paste,” the number into the “Product Number” box. Hit “Search” and then “More” and you will be in a position to reread the description or to place your order. Alternatively you can browse through the catalogue using the drop down headings lists. We have tried to multi-list books where they correspond to more than one category but consider the possibility that the subject you are looking for may be under a related heading. There is frequently more information about the books available on the web site than that which is included in the following descriptions. All prices in $Cdn. ----------------------------- 3 NEW CANADIAN RELEASES (2): * The Story of Dundas (Ontario) - 1905 CA0087 : This is a highly informative book about one of the areas of what we now called Ontario, which has been heavily touched by the hand of history. The combination of its location on the main migration path into “Upper Canada” and the fertility of its land caused many a settler to stop and set up their future homes in this county of Dundas. As a result, the area is a “melting pot” of ethnic traditions, and rich in its culture. The author, J. Smyth Carter of Rowena, Ontario, was scrupulous in his research and does his best to identify all the influences which have guided the development of this county. In addition to the influence bought by the settlers, the county’s location on the north shore of the St. Lawrence, between the cities of Cornwall and Kingston made it a prime site for the failed invasions of the 1812 conflict, and many of the old battlefields are still remembered, and can be found marked to this day. In writing his book the author elected to devote about half of the chapters to the history of various civil and administrative topics with as wide a range and scope as “Agricultural Development” and “Parliamentary Development,” “Religious Life” and “Drainage.” Even the local militia get a chapter to themselves. Most of the remaining chapters are concerned with the establishment and development of Dundas’ many towns and townships including: Williamsburg, Matilda, Mountain, Winchester, Iroquois, Morrisburg and Chesterville. One notable common thread throughout the whole book is the identification, by name, of the local inhabitants, frequently including their family and where possible, their portrait. Of the 56 illustrations included it seems that more than half are multiple portraits of one sort or another meaning there must be pictures of hundreds of individuals throughout the pages. Even the illustration plates of buildings, etc., are usually collages of many individual pictures. One illustration plate, for instance shows 12 local churches. Although not singled out for individual treatment, the book recognizes the influence that the Loyalist settlers had on the county, and their contribution is well recorded. Finally the book concludes with a series of fact packed chapters which are a gold-mine of detailed information of utmost importance to those searching for their genealogical roots. For instance there is a listing, by Concession and Lot, of the original land grantees (as far as they were recorded) and page after page of hundreds of biographical records, tabulated by family name. A wonderful book for those wanting to understand the history of this area and of those who settled and developed it. Access to this cache of densely packed information has been greatly enhanced by our making this digital reproduction fully computer searchable, a facility which is further enhanced by the application of our FastFind technology which brings you your search results almost instantaneously. We have placed a sampler of a few pages, selected more or less at random from the book, on our Downloads page for your further information. * THE BRAZIER - 1 April 1917 CA0248: FREE to download - also available on CD A Trench Journal printed and published at the front by The Canadian Scottish for the Brigade - 1 April 1917. When our good friend, Chris Wight, offered to allow us to make a copy of this trench newspaper we were uncertain what we could do with it. It does not contain significant information on either genealogy or history and yet - in its own way - it is one of the most historically important documents we have had the opportunity to republish. You see, in sponsoring the publication of this simple newspaper the Canadian military command was demonstrating that it understood the importance of the “moral” of the ordinary fighting man. We hear so many stories of troops being regarded as just “cannon fodder” in the Great War, and read again and again of the horrifying losses. Yet here stands proof that at least some part of the command structure regarded these troops as human beings having ordinary hopes and fears. This simple publication may be one of the first outward marks of a radical, and important, shift in military thinking. With Chris’ agreement we are making this document freely available* - within the terms of the attached licence - from our "Downloads" page, and dedicate it to the work that Chris and his colleague Marc Leroux are doing in building their Canadian Great War Project commemorative web site, www.CanadianGreatWarProject.com We invite you to visit their site and join them in their labor of love. The information contained in this Journal is such that it is unlikely that anyone would need to, or indeed want to, search for specific terms. Never the less, simply because it is our standard procedure, you will find the text of the publication is searchable. * We are also making this important document available on a CD (supplied in a sleeve), at a nominal charge to cover administration costs. ---------------------------------- 4 COMING SOON: There are a couple of books at the head of our queue for scanning but we are anticipating some difficulties with at least one of them. As a result I'm not making any forecasts for next month at this time. ---------------------------------- 5 NEW PARTNERS RELEASES: We frequently foreshorten the descriptions of the new releases published in this newsletter. Please check the on-line catalogue on our web site to ensure you are receiving all the available information. 5.1 NEW USA RELEASES (4): * A Catalogue of the Names of the Early Puritan Settlers of the Colony of Connecticut; - with the Time of Their Arrival in the Country and Colony, Their Standings in Society, Place of Residence, Condition in Life, Where From, Business, &c. US0309: Royal Hinman collected information on every seventeenth-century immigrant to New England, and then concentrated on those immigrants who came to Connecticut, tracing many of the lines into the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, providing information on thousands of Connecticut settlers. The author used a wide range of sources, frequently setting forth much biographical data on his subjects, even some of those who were not so prominent. On the genealogical side, he did not limit himself to vital records, but made extensive use of the probate records as well, not a common practice among genealogists of his time. Hinman's project was too ambitious, and he only reached into the letter D in his sweep through the alphabet of New England settlers. At some point, he must have realized that he would not finish his study, for he appended to the portion he did complete a detailed account of the Hinman family. Despite the fact that he only made it about a quarter of the way through the alphabet, his massive efforts in behalf of Connecticut families make this an important reference for the families of that colony. * Directory of the Ancestral Heads of New England Families, 1620-1700 US0310: Frank R. Holmes, compiler, has produced a unique resource in which he combined a brief biographical and genealogical entry for each New England immigrant head of household prior to 1700 with etymologies of many of the surnames, reflecting his conviction that the "study of names is of itself an absorbing subject." For each immigrant, Holmes included information on English origin (where known), date and place of first residence in New England, known relationships to other immigrants, removes from one town to another, and a variety of other biographical details. Holmes covered all of New England to the end of the seventeenth century, including some deaths of immigrants well into the eighteenth century. He took notice of removes outside of New England, for the most part to New York. * A Biographical Dictionary US0313: Containing a Brief Account of the First Settlers, and Other Prominent Characters Among the Magistrates, Ministers, Literary and Worthy Men, in New-England. In this early biographical dictionary, author, John Eliothas provided accounts of the lives of hundreds of colonial New Englanders, running from the earliest explorers and settlers to the leaders of the revolutionary movement of the mid-eighteenth century, and including many others from the years in between. As we may see from the sub-title of the book, Eliot was especially interested in the more learned members of society. In colonial New England, an overwhelming majority of the well-educated went on to become ministers of one denomination or another. But we find here also such men as Isaac Greenwood, the first professor of mathematics at Harvard, in the 1720s, and John Osborne, a prominent physician of the same period. * Soldiers of King Philip's War US0315: Being a Critical Account of That War with a Concise History of the Indian Wars of New England from 1620-1677 Author: George Madison Bodge has scoured the contemporary seventeenth-century documents in order to compile as complete as possible an account of the men who served in King Philip's War in New England in 1675 and 1676. He followed each group of men on its marches and in its battles, showing for many of the men the exact time served and the pay that they received. Bodge searched many other sources as well and included in this volume letters written by participants in the fighting, or petitions for relief that were filed many years later. Searches in the colony archives yielded many official accounts of action, some written at the time of the fighting and some written years later. The important final chapter provides information on the so-called Narragansett towns. One of the ways in which the soldiers were compensated was by gathering them into groups, frequently by town of residence at the time of the war, and granting to the group an entire township in the wilderness. These grants were not acted on until decades after the conflict, and the eighteenth-century lists of grantees frequently match the soldier's name with the name or names of heirs who actually received the land many years later.

Our copy of "The Story of Dundas," CA0087, contained two loose news clippings about the wedding of Mr. Burleigh Warren to Miss Annie Marie Strachan on 17 October 1923(?) probably in Hamilton, although the clipping says the couple subsequently took up their married life in Dundas*. We have included scans of these clippings on the CD as additional information but would like to see the original clippings go to a good home, so the first person who can prove a family connection with this couple is welcome to take these clippings into their care. There is a "lo-res" scan of the clippings included in the CA0087 Sampler - see our Downloads page. * Although these clippings were in a book about Dundas county we are wondering if the Dundas referred to might be the community of this name in the Hamilton area, rather than the county. The clippings give no hint. * SPECIAL OFFERS. I'm not allowed to publish specific sales on this list so let me just say that you might find some "items of interest" if you go to our web site. :-) 7 FAMILY HISTORY SOCIETY AND OTHER ANNOUNCEMENTS: ------------------------- 23 - 28 July, 2007: 10 - 3 pm daily.

Hi Deb: I checked the burial records for St. Patrick's Wildfield - earliest Catholic Church in the area from 1830 and did not see this surname in the cemetery. I also checked Perkins Bull's book "From McGuigan to McDonell" - his history of the Catholic Church in Peel County and again nothing. I also checked the Perkins Bull collection finding aid and did not see this family in the family files. There is a chance it is in the mis. Family files 91.0045M. You can check with the Region of Peel Archives in Brampton www.brampton.ca There was another Catholic Church on the 5th Line (where the Pearson International Airport is now) and well as at Dixie and Dundas in present day Mississauga (old Toronto township) Good Luck Michael -----Original Message----- From: can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:can-ont-peel-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Debbie Bert Sent: Monday, July 23, 2007 1:28 PM Cc: CAN-ONT-PEEL@rootsweb.com; Ontario List Subject: [CAN-ONT-PEEL] Need help If you have any cemetery or any other references I would appreciate a lookup. Anything will help. I am looking for the resting place for Huge and Bridget Curley. The only place I have proof of them is in 1851 Chinquacousy Census, Peel Co., ONtario. They were living with their son THomas and daughter in law Susanna Everson Curley. I believe that they were catholic. I have additional notes below. Any help is extremly appreciated. Thanks deb RAOGK Volunteer for Monroe Co., MI I have Huge/Hue/Hugh Curley b. about 1794 in Taum, Galway, Ireland. His wife was Bridget b. about 1802 also in the Taum area. Their son Thomas H. Curley was born in 1827 in Ireland. I am not sure when they came to Canada but I suspect it was by 1832. I can't be sure about this. Thomas married in Canada to Susanna Everson in about 1849. The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, Peel Co., Ontario shows Thomas and Susanna have Thomas's parents, Huge and Bridget living with them. I have been trying for years to find out what ever happened to Thomas's parents Hugh and Bridget Curley. I am looking for their place of death, burial, anything. Thomas and his father Hugh were both stone masons (bricklayers). Eventualy Thomas moved down to Michigan to do some brick work and liked it so much that He and his wife moved down to Michigan. Thomas died in 1877. Will gladly share any info with others in this line. Thanks, debbie Additional notes from my Genealogy program: Thomas H. /Curley/ Thomas Curley was born in Ireland and came to Canada and married there. Thomas and wife Susanna moved to Michigan about 1853 or 1854. Records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Chinquacousy Township, Ontario, Canada in 1851. Later records show that Thomas and Susanna were living in Paisly, Bruce Co., Ontario in 1865 when they signed papers to quit-claim Susanna interest in the estate of her father. (info from Carl Everson) The 1851 Chinquacousy Census, District 4 page 199 shows that Thomas and Susanna also have Thomas's parents in the house, Bridget and Hugh. There is also a boy named Francis Matdam (or Madden) born in Ireland that is only 10 years old living with them. I have no idea who this boy is. It also shows that Thomas and his father are both masons, and that they all live in a frame house that is 1 1/2 stories. Thomas came over to Mi. with Robert Fitch. He was a mason and helped build the Catholic Church in Emmett, MI. After living in the Emmett area to work on the church , he decided to move to Emmett and built a house 4 1/8 miles east of Marlette. Thomas is buried in McLeish Cemetery in Marlette, MI. (Section 21), Decker Rd. South of walker Rd and the cemetery is owned *********** ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CAN-ONT-PEEL-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

I did a quick check of cemetery transcriptions for Chinguacousy township and the surname does not appear in any of then. You said that they were living in Bruce County after Peel so I would suggest that maybe they died there rather than in Chinguacousy.
