http://archiver.rootsweb.com/th/index/NOVA-SCOTIA To all:- One person started a very lengthy but interesting discussion as she wondered if Nova Scotia was one of the American colonies. Yes - as one part of North America, we would be just that -- but we call ourselves Canadians north of the 49th! Believe it or not, when my granddaughter attended university in Bournemouth, England, there were two signs together and mileage NEW YORK - NORTH AMERICA TORONTO - CANADA Enjoy the reading on the archived site above -- we learned much about the Norsemen, Vikings, and others who helped to settle Canada.

I have tried The Global History & Genealogy Shoppe at Campbellville, but they are unable to stock them. I am looking for copies of The Kirkwood maps of Edinburgh, Scotland (Robert & James Kirkwood) 1819. These are beautifully detailed maps and would be much easier on my eyes than shifting all over my computer screen, following the steps of my ancestors! Any assistance appreciated!

Is there a site that lists Peel residence who died from this terrible pandemic. I have a whole side of one family gone in a matter of days! Deb

To all:- I do not know why, but I have received about 500 messages stating this person or that person has been unsubscribed or were removed from the lists. Knowing about the advertised pending virus, I dumped all messages - knowing that next week we will know who is still online. Personally, I did this for my own protection as messages can be copied from other than the one supposedly sending them. The SUBSCRIBE ones were placed in their folder -- and will check to see if the Rootsweb computer subscribed them. Hope all will understand why I dumped unknown messages -- 500 were too many for one day. Muriel -- List Admin

Is there a site for the descendants of Patrick McClure (Patty) married to Mary Blackstock of Chinguacousy? Would appreciate contacting researcher(s). I have information/articles. Deborah

To all:- When you are transcribing our long-awaited 1911 Canadian census, can you imagine you are making something and all pieces must be the same size -- or else the "thing" can not be constructed? Have you looked over transcribed census pages and found many pages with a "50" beside the name -- meaning 50 Lines. These pages would all fit in the item called OUR 1911 Canadian Census. Then we find pages with 2, 5, even 23 lines with a name beside them. What will happen to these uneven and incorrect size pages? There is data on many pages as I have checked -- there are ways of doing this, using some old printer skills, etc. When a page has only 23 lines, on the 24th line delete the family name and house number, NOT the line number. Then click on SUBMIT until you reach 51, BEFORE you claim the page. I know the original instructions say to claim page at 1 or 2 lines, PLEASE change this information to above. If anyone has transcribed pages, please check and see if YOU committed making an uneven size page -- the same size is there for a reason. Should anyone desire further instruction, private emails only -- also, due to poor handwriting, I am one of a group - we check our work. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON -- formerly Nova Scotia

Any help on this would be so appreciated, I do alot of work for others but have hit my own "brick" wall. I have tried to be as short here but also give the details at the same time. Thanks so much for ANY assistance. Greatly appreciated. Deborah Glover BRIDE: Alberta Jane LUNDY (born Feb. 23, 1901 @ Chinguacousy copy on file) d/o Albert E. LUNDY and Bertha WOODYARD married: Jun 17, 1896 (Toronto, Ontario Reg.

(born: Jun 24, 1868) (spellings vary on legal documents marriage cert etc. on file... what's new!) Alberta has three children (Herbert/William & Harriett) and then disappears (children born in Listowel and Hamilton) 1901 Census confirms William then Joseph then remarries Esther Hicks (NEE: Glover) PROBLEMS Where is Alberta buried? (nothing listed on death listings after last child 1925)? No divorces in Buffalo The marriage certs./census/all reflect various spellings for Jemima Morris (Morrison) Harvy (Harvey) along with the census listing her name as Mammie (nic) cannot find any info. on her or her family. I have military records for the sons and they all show Jenny/Jennie Alberta Lundy Parent: William Alexander GLOVER 1901 Census York West then no info. about family after that. Kingston / Peterborough area might be a possibility. WOODYARD info for Bertha's parents James WOODYARD and Mary Melia GAMBLE both born in Ontario with 7 children Any help is appreciated.

Hello, Would anyone have the cemetery transcriptions for the Providence Pioneer Methodist/Sandhill Cemetery? I am interested in the information on my gg-grandparents William and Elizabeth ELLIS, along with two of their children buried there - Walter A ELLIS and Margaret Gertrude ELLIS. I noticed on the OCFA site that there is also a Frances ELLIS buried in this cemetery. Not sure if this is a relative, but would also be interested in the transcription of the stone there too. Thanks in advance for your help, Kim

A special welcome to all newcomers -- I just finished checking to see all were subscribed - also released mail. While at Brampton Cemetery yesterday to see about a tombstone and what one can do re a cemetery plot, I was given a copy of the Brampton By-Laws - Interesting. The residents of Brampton know the location of the Brampton Cemetery and the Main Street North Cemetery -- how about these: Old Zion (Bertrams); Fourth Line (Huttonville Cemetery); Old Methodist (Old Grahamsville); Mount Zion Cemetery; Alloa Cemetery; Snell Cemetery; Hilltop-Gore Cemetery; Shiloh Cemetery; Woodhill Cemetery; Cheyne Cemetery; Lundys Cemetery; Mount Olivet Cemetery; Harrison United Church Cemetery; Page Cemetery; Rice Estate; Zion Cemetery; Grahamsville Cemetery; St. Mary's Tullamore Cemetery; St. John's Castlemore Cemetery; St. John's Snelgrove Cemetery. If anyone does not know the location of cemeteries, the addresses are with the City of Brampton Bylaws. At present I have been working with a group to index the closed cemeteries, ones being used plus private burial sites in my native Queens County, Nova Scotia. [I well remember the mosquito bites]. At present we are still waiting for names of those buried on Port Mouton Island. Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca List Admin of above lists.
