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 ***********

(Mayo Township, Hastings County, Ontario) By Dave Hanes. Mining communities like this one in Mayo township, near Bancroft, Ontario, dotted our province during the 1800s and early 1900s, each one similar but each also with its own characters and stories to tell. Our history lives on when brought to life by authors who have spent countless hours, weeks and sometimes years to have their efforts put into a book for the public to enjoy. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/hastings/resources/227020.htm BOOK - New Liskeard ~ The Pioneer Years (Temiskaming District, Ontario) By Bruce W. Taylor. What makes the history interesting are the men and women who were attracted to the Lake Temiskaming area in the last decade of the 1800s and the first few years of the 1900s. It was definitely not easy homesteading in Temiskaming before the turn of the century, and the pioneers had to be strong-willed, stubborn, resourceful people to make a go of it. This history is as much about these pioneers and builders as it is about the land itself and the events that shaped the history of Temiskaming. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227022.htm BOOK - The Lake in the Hills ~Strong Township and Sundridge 1875-1925. Compiled by Patricia Lee Edited by Alice May Robins. The first settlers arrived in Strong Township as early as 1876. This book is a record of those first settlers who came north on the Muskoka, Great North and Nipissing Roads and chose to settle around the shores of Lake Bernard. This illustrated history deals with the early settlement and development of the Township of Strong and the Village of Sundridge. Includes accounts of events written by pioneers and their descendants, the building of schools, churches, post offices, lodges and societies in the various communities making up Strong Township. There are sketches of pioneer families, copies of letters, newspaper accounts of social events and legal documents. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/parry-sound-district/resources/227021.htm BOOK - Temiskaming Treasure Trails by Peter Fancy. A series of eight books chronicling the dramatic development of Temiskaming from fur trading times, through logging and mining and pioneer settlement. Illustrated with many charts, maps and photos. Buy individual volumes or save by buying a complete set. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/22700X.htm BOOK - Northern Doctor, The Memoirs of Clifford Hugh Smylie M.D.. Compiled by Mary Belle Smylie. He portrays the life of a doctor in a rural practice, making house and hospital calls in all sorts of weather in the Districts of Temiskaming and Cochrane. Located in Matheson for many years, and covering distances too small for bush planes yet much too great for walking, Dr. Smylie used every means available to reach his patients. Hopping freight trains; driving horses; traveling at high speeds overland in a home-made "snowplane" (no modern snowmobiles yet); and bouncing over ruts in the early models of motor cars, he risked life and limb in the attempt to bring comfort and medical assistance to the people of the Northern communities and out-lying farms and camps. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227023.htm BOOK - The Age of Steam on Lake Temiskaming . By Bruce W Taylor. The Age of Steam on Lake Temiskaming covers from the arrival of the steamer Mattawan in 1882, to the burning of the Lady Minto in 1962, a period of 80 years. The region was transformed from a wilderness, to an extensive agricultural, mining, forestry and manufacturing district with modern communities. Steamboats were an important part of that transformation. This history chronicles the story of these boats, their accomplishments, their failures, their tragedies, and their eventual disappearance from the lake. As well, the history deals with the people behind the boats, the owners, captains, crew and passengers- the pioneers who developed Temiskaming to what it is today. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227017.htm BOOK - Boston Creek ~ Golden Echoes of an Ontario Mining Camp. By Peter Fancy. Northern Ontario has had so many mining camps come and go. Once the mines ran out of ore and closed, the miners left to find work elsewhere. And the communities they left shrivelled. And in some cases disappeared. For the young the mining camp was a place where much happened until you found another place with more. But if a mine lasted long enough older people found comfort in the set ways of a camp and deep pleasure in its familiar landscape. This Boston Creek book records a people busy with their lives and generously strong in their enduring pride. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227018.htm BOOK - From a London Pub to Mine Finder ~ Silver Miller Mines.. By Gladys (Miller) Wilcox. Adding another chapter to the mining history of the area around Cobalt, Ontario, this book brings alive again the unexpected development of Silver Miller and its associated mines in the mid-twentieth century. Prime mover in this story is Harry Miller, whose persistence in his quest for ore-bearing veins which he believed to be there, brought about the amazing recovery of the slumbering Cobalt Mining Camp and its continuance for another twenty years. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227019.htm BOOK - Reaching Into Yesterday. (Haileybury, Ontario). by Norman Abraham. Haileybury is steeped in history and has a very interesting and dramatic background. When the town was founded, a great mixture of people of different cultures made up the town's population and many developments were created by their presence. This is a more personal history of how the author's family history intertwines with the history of the Temiskaming District. Somehow they managed to survive and prosper under difficult and unpredictable conditions. Many photographs make this a captivating first-hand account for a lot of Haileybury history. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/temiskaming-district/resources/227024.htm BOOK - Silver Centre: The Story of an Ontario Mining Camp. By Peter Fancy. The story follows in detail the mining prospectors of 1907 their silver discoveries; the early mines-their success and failures; the depressing World War I years; then rebirth with the mother lode discovery of 1920 and its climactic decade of phenomenal silver treasure; finally, the inevitable exhaustion of known deposits.

To all:- A mixture of vacations, plus very hard to read writing by the enumerators has slowed us down -- but there are many pages in British Columbia. One or two pages daily would help - I have HOW TO memos for anyone wishing to try his/her transcribing at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Also the QUESTIONS near Sign-In have much information. Percentages:- ALBERTA...............................98.11% BRITISH COLUMBIA.............89.28% CAN-SASKATCHEWAN........99.31% [You can see British Columbia needs a few more pages done] Personally, I hope the three provinces will be 100% by Aug. 6, Civic Holiday in many places. Also, I leave for Nova Scotia on Aug. 8 until Aug 21 -- the only bits I want to do DownHome are corrections! One new transcriber is assisting Judy van der Veen in Prince Albert - as mentioned, addresses are added, NO surname or given name due to INK-- to date Garth Ulrich has connected about 75% of the families from the 1910 city directory, etc. IF ANYONE WORKS ON THOSE PAGES in Print Albert - DO NOT CLAIM as Judy, Garth and Jessie have their own system. We could have two provinces 100% next Friday - remember B.C. Thanks to all, including the original Visine Group! Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON

Sorry. I did not mean ROOTS. I had found it in The Landmarks of Robertson. Now I cannot find the marriage or the mention of Banns. Any help welcome. Delphine

Hello: Information re the above would be so welcome. In the past I have been very successful in finding data re Charles CAMERON of Peel County, Toronto Township who first spent some years In York (Toronto) around 1800. I am trying to find his parentage and need that link to connect him to the CAMERONS of Fassiefern, Scotland and the Lochiel line of Chiefs. Just before he left Quebec and the 26th of Foots to go to York, his (presumed) father died in the same Regiment. Later I found Charles in York with the help of the above records ,with his mother, Mary and sister Ann. His mother m John BERRY in 1802 and I also found it but somehow have misplaced the copy from the Roots book. Can anyone tell me if the female is a widow, would her previous spouses name be registered ? II need to know if it is James. The marriage was at St. James Church (now Cathedral), Toronto., 17 November, 1802. Thank you ! Delphine Large (Cameron) dlarge@shaw.ca Victoria, B.C.

To all, especially CAN-ONT-SIMCOE subscribers:- Please, try to do the following == get in practice as I will be away from August 8 to 21 - with my daughter and family in Nova Scotia -- plenty for us to do and many to visit. When one is answering a long articles, highlight and delete the parts which you are not answering -- there could be several items -- which take up far less space than the long article plus your reply. Also would you believe some people copy in the former article and add a very few words, for example "Thanks very much, ???????" This could save space if sent DIRECTLY to the one who is being thanked. Also delete the data Mailman adds at the bottom -- takes up space. I have been really bothered with mail bounces lately -- and whatever you do, unless you know it is a photo from a family members, do NOT open anything with a ".pdf" extension. It is better to miss it than mess up your computer -- I have banned all of these but they keep appearing, even directly to my address. As we are finishing the last three provinces, have any subscribers who knew the old names checked the 1911 census transcriptions? http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Use EDIT or SPLIT-VIEW Should you find an error, try and copy the URL at top of page, plus district, page and line -- I do not mind leaving RED marks! I am familiar with some of the PEEL County names, plus the streets. I did not intend to write a book -- but please, NO "Thank you" messages to the list --- only to the individual. [My son will be checking the lists when I am away -- so let's keep Don happy!] Muriel - list admin

All have to do with the United Counties of Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry in Ontario, Canada: BOOK - St. John's Presbyterian Church, Cornwall, Ontario - Marriages Only (1857-1896) Compiled by Duncan MacDonald This book is the result of a chance meeting between the compiler, Duncan MacDonald, and Jack Schecter, the Librarian/Historian/Archivist at Upper Canada Village. Mr. Schecter explained to Mr. MacDonald that he had completed a transcription of the Marriage Register for the years 1857-1896. He also revealed that the original register differs from the microfilmed materials that are more generally available insofar as Mr. Schecter's transcriptions include more information from each entry. That chance meeting resulted in this invaluable resource. More information: http://globalgenealogy.com/countries/canada/ontario/stormont-dundas-glengarry/resources/101914.htm BOOK - St. John's Presbyterian Church, Cornwall, Ontario, Births - Marriages - Deaths (1833-1856) Compiled by Duncan MacDonald This book contains transcriptions of Presbyterian baptisms, marriages and burials as recorded in the church registers between 1833 and 1856. The first church building was a log structure on the east side of Pitt Street. The building was referred to as the "Presbyterian Meeting House". A white frame church was built in 1827 and at the same the time the first Kirk Session was formed. The church was known as the Scotch Church. The name St. John's was adopted in 1831. In 1888 the cornerstone of the present St. John's building was laid. The much larger stone building was officially opened on March 17, 1889.

It occurred to him that an indexed volume of transcriptions of those clippings would be of interest to others seeking their Cornwall roots. Oftentimes Mr. MacDonald found newspapers announcements of vital events such as birth, marriage, death that had escaped being recorded in a church register.

Greetings All By this time you will all be aware of the low response of YES answers to the informed consent question on the 2006 Census. We all agree that something must be done to prevent a similar result for the Census of 2011. Bill S-18 provided for a review of the administration and operation of the 'informed consent' provision that we were forced to accept without opposition in order to regain public access to Historic Census records. We are hoping that pressure from genealogists and historians might prompt an early review and ask that you write your parliamentary representatives seeking their support for this to happen. On 16 July 2007, representatives of the Canadian Historical Association, along with myself will be meeting with Anil Arora, Director General, Census Program Branch, Census Manager of Statistics Canada. Representatives of the Canadian Sociological Association and the Canadian Political Science Association may be in attendance as well. The meeting will be held in Ottawa, and the subject matter of the meeting will be the 'informed consent' question imposed on us by Bill S-18. We are hoping that meetings with Information Commissioner Robert Marleau, and Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart can be arranged for the same time, but that has yet to be confirmed. I will keep you informed of any further developments. Gordon A.

Macdonald" Canada Day Celebration - Campbellville Spend an entertaining and educational afternoon ( 2:00 to 3:30 pm ) with Canada's first Prime Minister "Sir John A. Macdonald"! And... drop into Global Genealogy & History shoppe for browsing and complimentary bottled water, coffee, tea and treats (open 9-5pm this Canada Day, 1 July). Popular historical re-enactor, David Morris, presents his historically accurate one-man show as Canada's first Prime Minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. Mr. Morris' interpretation of Sir. John is entertaining and educational for everyone from children to adults. Sir John A.'s political career was such an integral part of Canada in his era, that to study one is to study the other. This monologue covers the events up to confederation in 1867 and the years beyond, as Macdonald served as Canada's first Prime Minister. Special emphasis is given to the creation of the Canadian Pacific Railway. The script is interspersed with humorous anecdotes and quotes from Macdonald's writings and speeches. The colourful personality of the most famous of Canada's Fathers of Confederation shines through. Appropriate for all ages.

Hi Malcolm, I found your description of the surveys and how they treated 'obstacles' very interesting. I know in one census film I viewed the enumerator made a number of comments about a 100 acre farm being 1/2 swamp and the people were quite bitter about the shortcomings of their land. Yes, I think I will call the town on Monday. Thanks again for your help. Gay
