Hello Jane and Lucy: 'Thank you for the suggestions. I'll try the National Archives and see if they have anything on line. However, even if Dufferin County had copies of the Orangeville Banncer,it is too far out of the way for me to visit. I think I'll persuade my sister to go with me to Orangeville and spend the afternoon searching the old newspapers. A first cousin of my father's, Raspin Scott by name, apparently wrote a column for the Orangeville Banner, about Melville in Caledon West Twp. I don't know precisely when he wrote the columns but I would like to find them. He apparently published a small booklet on The History of Melville, sometime before 1972 when he died, and I haven't been able to find a copy anywhere. I have a feeling he may have collected some or all of his weekly column and published it as a book. The Orangeville Banner has been very helpful but they don't have the staff to spend on searching the paper. However, they said I could make an appointment and do the searching myself. I was just hoping there would be copies closer to home, but I guess we can't have everything. Since I don't drive anymore, I hope my Thanks again for your help. As usual, people on Mailing Lists are so helpful and someone always comes up with a solution or suggestion. I have found the mailing Lists invaluable.

To all:- One person we all know, either in person or by name, will be celebrating a special event in her life on September 17 and as usual NO GIFTS-- however, I am certain ONE very special gift would be to have 100% ratings all across Canada. If so, a special certificate to that effect will be given -- I am certain this would be a thrilling climax to the 1911-2001 release on June 28, 2005. Present standings are, in numerical standing:- NOVA SCOTIA ........................ 100.00% NORTHWEST TERRITORIES.. 100.02% PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND.....100.00% YUKON......................................100.00% ONTARIO.................................. 85.08% NEW BRUNSWICK ................. 68.74% MANITOBA............................... 68.50% QUEBEC ................................... 58.31% SASKATCHEWAN.................... 43.80% BRITISH COLUMBIA................ 42.85% ALBERTA .................................. 29.71% [Note: Percentages may have changed this evening] Also Nunavut is in NorthWest Territories, as is Labrador I am certain if everyone reading this did ONE complete page of 50 (or 51) lines, we could achieve this goal. Enumerators often added an extra line -- but please do NOT skip lines if unreadable, use the hot key -- ?? http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ Sign in with email as userid plus your own password Click on TRANSCRIBE on a line where someone has not claimed the page, just follow what is written on the image and hit SUBMIT after each line is finished.

Does anyone on the list know where there are copies of the Orangeville Banner from 1940 to 1972, short of going to Orangeville? Are there copies in the Peel Co. Archives by chance?

Sandra -- These quilt patches remind me of "family heritage quilts" made by mother and grandmother --I remembering writing my name on one of the patches when I was about 10 years of age.

I have some pieces of a quilt that I found among my mother's things after her death. It has the date June 6, 1825 stitched on it. These pieces have names stitched as well and they are not names from our family. I would really like to find the family these names are from so I could give it to someone.

This message is being sent on behalf of many children of the British Home Children Society -- some of whom might be your ancestors. I am certain many are being transcribed as lodgers or domestics on the 1911 census, some as young as two years. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Brampton, ON NOTE - Any queries to Perry Snow, address below, please! ========================================== British Home Children Society Could one of your ancestors have been a British Home Child? 100,000 children aged 5-15 were sent to Canada to work as indentured farm labourers and domestic servants as part of the British Child Emigration Scheme to Canada (1870-1957). Their familial ties were broken once 'in care' and sent to Canada. Many British Home Children spent their lives trying to find their parents and siblings. Many of their descendants have inherited their ancestors' lifelong search for their identities. Their are an estimated 5 million descendants of the British Home Children in Canada, and another estimated 1 million in the USA - an unknown number of children ran away from their farm placements to the USA, married, and had children. Over 50 childcare organizations (ie Barnardo, Rye, Waifs & Strays) professed a motive of providing these orphaned, impoverished, unwanted children with better lives than what they might have had in England. But, many of these children suffered from child neglect and abuse, and were often treated only as unpaid indentured farm labourers and domestic servants. The primary goal of the British Home Children Society is to create a comprehensive database of individual British Home Children records called the British Home Children Registry. This Registry will collect information about each individual British Home Child to create an ongoing legacy that will preserve their identities in perpetuity. The Registry currently has +50,000 individual records, and an abbreviated online version can be searched on The British Home Children Website The British Home Children Society was formed to assist the millions of Canadian, American, British, and Australian descendants of the British Home Children with re-establishing their familial ties. The sending agencies have been traditionally reluctant to release records to descendants. The British Home Children Society is committed to building an international community of Canadian, American, British, and Australian descendants to assist each other with their searches.

http://www.vac-acc.gc.ca/remembers/ To all: The above site has a great deal of information and what better way to remember our veterans and those presently in service on Canada Day. The picture of the beautiful pin sent to me by Senator Lorna Milne is shown at this page. The following is the meaning of the gold maple leaf and two poppies -- instead of the usual one:- Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Brampton, ON Code Talker, Second World War =============== English:- CANADA REMEMBERS To honour those Canadians who gave so much to the cause of peace AND freedom The gold maple leaf represents Canada. The red poppy in the foreground represents those Canadians who served theit country during the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, peacekeeping operations and other military conflicts. The red poppy in the background represents those who served in Canada and all who played a vital supporting role at home. The intertwining of the three elements symbolizes the unity and strength that Canadians have developed as a result of their sacrifice in time of war and peace. French:- {Might not be correct -- MMD] LE CANADA SE SOUVENT Pour rendre hommage aux Canadiens qui ont donné la cause de la paix ET la liberté la feuille d'erable ore represente le Canada..

Thanks to Jane and Mary for their information about the Schiller winemaking family. My great-grandmother Margaret Sheeler Galbraith did have a cousin David Sheeler (there's a picture of him in a cousin's family album), so that's a possibility. I'll try sending a message to Mary's son Matthew and see if they have anything about the family's 18th century ancestry and origins. The lead is much appreciated! Margaret Gibbs

There was a SCHILLER family here in Cooksville, which is in Peel County, back in the 1800's who started the wine industry in Canada in 1811.

Hello: I'm looking for information -- any information at all -- regarding a man who appears in the Muster Rolls of German Troops in Quebec microfilm records as: SCHILLER, John, Corp co., Peel County, Ont I'm trying to trace the ancestry of my 19th century SHEELER family of Niagara District and later Kent County. My 3xgt-grandfather Alexander SHEELER is the brick wall. He presumably married the widowed Margaret HAGERMAN DALTON (b c1806) in the Niagara District between 1830, when her son Edmond by her first husband James DALTON was born, and 1832 or 1833 when their own first son Phillip was born. Their younger son John SHEELER, b 1835, was my gt-gt-grandfather. Margaret was a widow at least by the 1851 census and living in Kent County with her sons. I haven't seen an 1841 census record for this family, but Alexander presumably died when his sons and step-son were too young to remember much about him. The boys spelled their name SCHIELER, SHIELER, and SHILLER (as well as the usual creative spellings by other people) before settling on SHEELER by the later19th century. Alexander appears only as a name in his sons' marriage records of 1860 and 1861 -- I have been unable to locate a birth, marriage, or death record for Alexander which might give his father's name and nationality. In the 19th century censuses, brothers John and Philip can't seem to make up their minds as to their ethnic ancestry, French or German, which made me suspect that their grandfather or great-grandfather might have been a Hessian soldier who settled in Quebec after the American Revolution and married a French girl, as many of them did. I'm unable to read microfilm myself owing to a vision problem, but a friend who was also researching Quebec Hessians searched for me and came up with four possible "suspects" from the Muster Rolls. The other three have much more detailed entries, giving birth dates and places in Germany, marriage dates and wives' names, and occupations. For this John SCHILLER, all the information given was as above. It wasn't clear if he had been born in Peel County to German parents, had been born in Germany like the others and was living in Peel when he joined the regiment, or settled there after the war instead of accepting land in Quebec like the others. Can anyone provide any scrap of information at all? Something that eliminates him from my search will do just as well as something that keeps him in consideration as an ancestor. Thank you, Margaret Gibbs Richmond, BC

To all:- I read the column while waiting for the census page to clear. It is PACKED with important items, especially about the British Home Children. Following the apology to the Chinese people re the head tax (which taxpayers will have to pay) one Member of Parliament strongly suggested recognition to the British Home Childreen, those who are found and the unfound ones. I would watch for a bill re this in the fall. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca ============================== --- Original ---- Topics in this issue include: a.. Visitors from afar a..

The indexes to Ontario vital records as provided by Ancestry.ca have errors and omissions, as do the indexes on microfilm. If you are unable to find a birth marriage or death in the Ancestry.ca electronic indexes, scroll down the Ancestry.ca "search" page". You will find all of the Ontario counties listed as hot links. Click on the county that you are interested in. A list of years will appear on your screen. Choose the year/s of interest and then browse through all of the registrations for that year.

I have returned because I have not been able to learn anything about my Kate KERR except for the very valuable info provided by Joanne Waugh I am looking for Elizabeth and Archibald KERR who had daughter Kate KERR born 1848. She is said to have a brother Archie but I am not sure. The OGS and Church's I have wrote have found nothing which leads me to believe that Elizabeth and Archibald may be a middle name. Or, one of them died and a step parent name may be the one that shows in the census. The death certificate of Kate Bain Nee KERR says that she was born in London Middlesex Ontario. The names of her children (on maternal side) are Edward, William, Florence, Viola, Archie. Hopfully, some one will keep an eye out for this name. <smile> Thank you, Moria
