Hi Jane: Thank you so much for your offer and I'll take you up on that if I may. . I looked them up on OCFA and it said Ebeneezer United Cemetery. However, I had thought they were buried in St. John's Anglican Cemetery, so I would be really pleased to have the records of St. John's. I have a photo-copy of Hilltop Cemetery but not St. Patrick's R.C. I don't think they would have been my KERSEY'S but perhaps you wouldn't mind including those as well. Some of them could have married RC' Thanks again Anne >Hi Anne, >I checked the cemetery transcription and there are no KERSEY in that >cemetery.

Meet ghosts from North Oakville’s past at Trafalgar 200 Family Heritage Day Meet some of the oldest and most colourful characters from north Oakville’s past, take a lesson in a one-room schoolhouse, watch a blacksmith at work and make pioneer crafts – those are just some of the things you can enjoy at the Trafalgar Township Historical Society’s (TTHS) Family Heritqge Day Celebration on Saturday, September 16. The celebration takes place from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at four locations around Palermo (Dundas St. and Bronte Rd.) will include strolling actors in period costume and antique autos, performances by various local groups, a farmers’ market and a chance to try writing with a quill pen. The day has been designed to be fun and interactive and to help bring Oakville’s history alive for a new generation says TTHS president Gord Kaitting. The activities that commemorate the 200th Anniversary of the establishment of Trafalgar Township will be held in the parking lot of Anson’s restaurant (southwest corner of Bronte and Dundas), at Palermo United Church (northwest corner), at the one room schoolhouse a few lots east of the church and at the pioneer cemetery across the street from the schoolhouse. Visitors are invited to park at the St. Joseph’s Portuguese Centre on the east side of Bronte Road just south of Dundas where you will be met by a TTHS member who will give you a program for all the scheduled activities. “This is an excellent event for families with children, residents with ties to Trafalgar Township and newcomers to Oakville who would like to know more about the historic roots of their community,” says Kaitting. Historical Society members have been busy refurbishing Palermo’s one-room schoolhouse for the event. Many donations including a teacher’s desk, children’s desks, old schoolbooks and other items have been received. Kaitting notes that Benjamin Moore generously donated all the paint for the schoolhouse. “We invite the entire community to come out and celebrate Trafalgar Township ’s 200th birthday,” says Kaitting. For detailed information about Family Day go to:www.trafalgartownshiphistory.ca Anyone with an interest in history is welcome to join TTHS. Newcomers to the area are especially welcome. For more information call Jane Watt at 905-281-1701 or by email at jwatt@ica.net Any corporations or local businesses that would be interested in helping the TTHS restore the one-room schoolhouse are welcome contact TTHS vice-president Liz Benneian at 905-257-0250 or email her at lizcdn@yahoo.com . Additional Information: The political boundaries of Trafalgar Township ceased to exist with the amalgamation of the Township, the Village of Bronte and Oakville in 1962. However, the geographic boundaries remain with Trafalgar Township extending to the Lake on both the east (Winston Churchill) and west (Burloak Drive) and then stretching over the farmland to the north all the way to Steeles Avenue. The Trafalgar Township Historical Society was founded in January of this year growing out of the work done by the Trafalgar 200 Committee, a group of local citizens formed to plan events to mark the 200th anniversary of Trafalgar Township in 2006. Composed of local history buffs, writers, family historians, local history librarians, members of historical societies and genealogical societies, museum volunteers and other interested citizens, the TTHS has four goals: 1. Documentation: by working with the Oakville Public Library, the committee would like to give the community a chance to have their historical photos scanned and their oral histories recorded to preserve them for future generations. The scanned photos will become part of a National Archive of historic photos. Several scanning have already taken place with hundreds of images collected. Anyone wishing to arrange a scanning date for their historic photos should call Elise Cole at 905-815-2042, ext. 5037 or email her at ecole@oakville.ca As well, the group has begun to photograph and research historic homes and farms in the area. 2. Education: the committee would like to inform Oakville’s citizens, many of whom are new to the area, about the rich history of Trafalgar Township. 3. Celebration: the committee wants to celebrate the area’s rural roots and give the community, especially the children, a tangible way to connect with the past. 4. Preservation: the committee would like to engage the public in the need to preserve buildings of historical significance. Given the large-scale development that is soon to take place north of Hwy. 5, this is especially timely. A long-term goal is to establish a local north Oakville museum and historical archive.

To all Changes are happening at Rootsweb as we migrate to Mailman mode AOL subscribers, please take note of this message.

After your lists are migrated, it is imperative for AOL users to check their spam folders and if they find list mail there, they need to be sure to CLICK: THE *THIS IS NOT SPAM* link to send the list mail to the inbox. It is VERY important to help train the filters and let AOL know that this new server can be trusted. Migration is scheduled for Thursday, August 17. Also for AOL users, a mailing list for AOL users at RootsWeb who often have specific needs and specific issues or may need specific information. This list is for user-supported self help. The goal is to prevent RootsWeb mail from being blocked by AOL by providing AOL subscribers with accurate information about using RootsWeb. http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/RootsWeb_Support/AOLers-RootsWeb.html Muriel M. Davidson -- list admin

To all -- There will be some changes within the next few days/weeks as Rootsweb changes to a new system. Much will be the responsibility of the list administrator -- glad I do not have many lists. However, some subscribers are subscribed in both List and Digest modes with same address -- possibly the List address may be kept -- but if on the same Rootsweb list, there will have to be different email addresses for one, for example, the address must be different for List and cannot be used for Digest -- Please bear with me as I try to figure out what the computer brainy ones are saying -- when I ever obtain the tutorial, might just ship it to all subscribers -- this is supposed to be a "smart move"??? We will see what tomorrow brings -- the CARLETON lists in Ontario and New Brunswick are supposed to be "migrated" tomorrow -- we shall see. Let us be patient -- but this might stop the terrific number of those being unsubscribed who did not request this. Lots of fun and games! -- Muriel - list administrator

To all:- This is long overdue, but I have fond remembrances of a young cadet of the 540 Golden Hawk Squadron bringing smiles to faces of many aged veterans at Sunnybrook. Devin Castilloux, age 14, had one special goal but did not quite make it! Devin's goal was to have the Canadian flag, inscribed with many signatures of veterans, flown from the Peace Tower on Remembrance Day. This was not governmentally possible, but he received the flag flown on Remembrance Day via Scott Brison, MP. Devin visits Legions, other gatherings where veterans may gather, and wirh his own flag design with a poppy in the centre, gathers as many signatures as possible. All one has to do is invite him to a special gathering, along with his father Mike - devin@castilloux.com Some of the extra special veterans Devin has known as friends was the late 106-year-old Clare Laking, a WWI veteran - plus my husband and many, many others. It was a treat to see how the vets smiled when they saw Devin -- an "adopted grandson" for many. Devin gives certificates to all veterans who sign his big white flag, and as Howard Mozel, Oakville Beaver wrote, "Speaking to veterans became a logical extensionof Devin's fascination, especially given how fast they are disappearing, and his parents are impressed by how effortlessly he interacts with them". The interest started with history, learning how his gr.grandfather served in World War I and his interest in military history and tradition has vastly grown. I expect I will see Devin at Sunnybrook on Remembrance Day, but this has been prompted by the loss of our 25th Canadian. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Brampton, ON

To all:- Much has been said about wearing something RED on Fridays in "Support of our Troops" -- why not a simple Canadian flag lapel pin. Or, do as my grandson and his lab-mates have done, the flag pin on a bit of red ribbon. VETERAN TRIBUTE LINKS is on my homepage http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/TRIBUTE.html It contains a great deal from 9/11/2001 - names are at bottom of page with all listed and a bit about each one. Click on the POPPY to gain access to the Korean National Monument - about two miles from me -- Names on HONOUR ROLL Click on the Princess Pat's insignia/badge for more information than you would think would be on one site. The only one missing is possibly the 24th Canadian. IN MEMORY OF EDWARD -- my cousin Edward Benfold and the USS BENFOLD The Maple Leaf Legacy will be great -- a photograph of all buried on foreign shores -- Steve Douglas, a Canadian, is heading this. The Books of Remembrance are also there -- the Seventh Book of Remembrance has all names -- I checked for Pte Ricky Green from Liverpool, just click on the letters to gain access to names. From Verna Burness - Veteran and Legion Member:- PRAYER REQUEST:- According to the weather reports, it is my understanding that it is 122 degrees in Afghanistan right now -- and the low will be 111! Our troops need our prayers for strength, endurance, and safety. If it be God's will, give these men and women the strength they need to prevail. Muriel M.

To all -- In a recent memo, which includes a web site given by Gordon Watts, all is correct except my goof in the last line I stated "There will be NO fines for late filing of income tax forms" This should read -- There will be NO fines for late filing of CENSUS forms. Muriel M. Davidson P.S.:-I must have had "income tax forms" on my mind -- Revenue Canada never received mine - although it was mailed with my husband's

To all -- Census Day for 2006 was May 16, either by mailing the filled-out form or online.However, some never received forms. Towns and cities did not have enumerators -- forms were received in the mail. Should any person -- includes Canadians living abroad -- the following StatsCan site from Gordon A. Watts will be helpful -- it is NOT too late! On this website you will also find a phone number, data might be taken by phone in over 40 languages -- LET'S ALL BE COUNTED IN! ---------------------------------- Check the StatCan website at http://www22.statcan.ca/ccr_r000_e.htm Gordon A.
