Hello everyone I wanted to take a minute to thank all the terrific posters who are providing such great information to our Simcoe County Mailing List. We have excellent contributions from knowledgeable subscribers that I haven't seen on many other lists, in the form of answers to queries and in posting of resource material. I want to take a minute to remind everyone of a few items that will help make the running of our list smoother for everyone *** First - please be sure you use a good SUBJECT line for your email to the list. If you are replying to an email but are going to ask something completely different than the original topic, be SURE to change the subject line! If you're asking about your Smith ancestors in Flos Township, don't respond to an email with the subject line of "Who uses FindMyPast.com?" Many subscribers are so busy that they only open emails with subjects that interest them or that they think they can help with. *** Second - PLEASE stay on topic! The topic for this list is SIMCOE COUNTY ONTARIO. That means your question or comment should be something about Simcoe County. Asking for information on Swedish or Irish or English websites isn't on topic UNLESS your Swedish or Irish or English ancestors settled in Simcoe Co. and you can tie in your question with information concerning their settlement We don't want to clog the Rootsweb servers with off-topic emails. To find a list that might suit other topics you wish to discuss, please visit the main page for the Rootsweb mailing lists and take a look at the hundreds of thousands lists available. http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Thanks!

As a child I visited my grandmother Wilkinson who lived next door to Mrs Lizzie Dixon on Wellington St East in Creemore. I now know that a child with whom I played was a granddaughter of Breckon and his first wife. She is still alive and would probably be interested in contact with the person seeking this information and have further information.  Please contact me directly. According to her: Breckon died Aug. 13, 1927 and is buried in Lavender cemetery (as is my grandmother). He is buried with his first wife Margaret A (Barris) who died aged 37 yrs 6 ms, Dec 23, 1898. His second wife Lizzie (Mitchel) Dixon whom I knew is buried at Badjeros. I don't recall when she died but am sure it will be noted in the Creemore paper which is at the local library. I will try to look up obituaries for you. It was prior to my grandmother's death in 1963.    Happy Hunting    Joan __________________________________________________________________ The new Internet Explorer® 8 - Faster, safer, easier.

I am looking for information in Ireland. Tipperary, Newton Mills area to be exact. Could any one help me with a good site? Sharon/Canada

With regard to Findmypast, I use it almost daily to trace and confirm data in 19th century English records. It is run by the same people as the English 1911 census site and Scotlands people. Their records are far easier to research than Ancestry and far better with regard to census returns and civil registration. They have scanned images of the actual census returns and ships passenger lists. They also have a selection of military, parish and immigration record indexes which I have used with some success. If you use this service along with FreeBMD, the online parish clerks and other free sites, the amount of information that you can accumulate is substantial enough to create a reliable family outline from the 20th century back the the end of the 18th.

Thank you thank you   I kind of missed going to this one.....   Sharlene It is still there, sort of, and occasionally when you want something it does a bit of a now-you-see-me-now-you-dont routine and you have to try again or refresh. http://web.archive.org/web/20050329035107/http://www.grandesfamilles.org/

-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Catt Sent: August-30-09 9:35 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] RE/Lakefront Barrie I hear that thieves go around stealing plaques, street signs, etc. even in grave yards. Catt ........ People collect things ... Different things for different Folks !!!! I once had a front licence plate taken off my Motor Home, while in the U.S.A. .. Undoubtedly because an Ontario Plate added to someone's collection !!! I have only seen one Road Sign, that I WOULD HAVE loved to have stolen . But I didn't have any tools with me. We were going over a Mountain Pass, in Colorado, at between 9 and 10 thousand feet. The area was heavily forested, and had been well logged off, at some point, in the past. The Road sign, in question , named an old logging road, where once loggers, answering nature's call, frequented the various little shacks of 'relief and comfort ' , put there by the Logging Company, for their convenience. Beats sitting on a hollow log :-) The Road proudly bore the name ' SHIT HOUSE ROW ' I still chuckle !!!!!!!! WOULD HAVE LOOKED GREAT, OVER MY FIRE-PLACE ! Paul Robins

Thanks. If it is on ancestry I think I have the info. I guess I am hoping someone says that they know someone in this family. Also, these people must be buried around the Collingwood area so if someone has a cemetery index I would appreciate a look up. They all fall, except for their marriages and the 1911 census, out of the available data. B In a message dated 8/31/2009 4:40:37 P.M.

I have never heard of this site. Can you tell me more? Does anyone else here use this site? On Aug 31, 2009, Colleen Andrews <[email protected]> wrote: This may be true; I don't know; but if it is, there are companies that do it much better than Ancestry.com/Rootsweb does....I also use FindMyPast.com, a UK site with censuses & other information, & the indexing is much better. In fact, if I can't find someone on a UK census on Ancestry, I try FindMyPast & invariably there they are. The UK 1911 & 1901 censuses on Public Record Office websites are also much better indexed than Ancestry. The fact there is double indexing of the same records with seemingly no communication between the systems or "indexers" is a bit ridiculous as well. I'm not sure Ancestry even tried to find out if they could have all or some of their records indexed by volunteers...I don't remember seeing/hearing any calls for volunteers. In the past I voluntarily helped to index UK civil registration indexes for FreeBMD, a Rootsweb site. The indexing quality of that site is also much better than Ancestry. It's as if Ancestry was rushing to "beat the competition" & finish indexing at any cost. FindMyPast, on the other hand, will upload a database before it's fully indexed, but warn you it's not yet indexed & list which sections (or counties) are finished, & then send you updates on its progress as well as notify you when indexing is complete. Another site where Canadian censuses can be accessed, for free, with much better indexing, is AutomatedGenealogy.com I have issues with using 3rd world labour for Canadian/North American companies. Of course no one's forcing them to do it, other than poverty, that is. Of course they're more than happy to do it--it's probably more money than they could make in their own country. But that's not the point. We're not paying them fair wages according to North American standards, or let's face it, we wouldn't be using them. And that's exploitation. I just don't believe Ancestry/Rootsweb can't afford to pay Canada's minimum wage for data entry; I don't believe it's a matter of can they afford it; they just don't want to. If it were really about raising the standard of living in 3rd world countries & creating jobs, we'd be paying them minimum wage. It's never about that; it's about cheap labour & more profit for North America. I have the same issues with the current "trend" for Filipino nannies. Of course they're more than happy to work for crappy money in addition to room & board here, since they eventually get Canadian citizenship out of it--but it's effectively holding them hostage. We take advantage of the fact they're desperate enough to do so much for so little, & worse we're doing it in our own country, as opposed to a factory in the 3rd world. If we were really concerned with helping them, we'd be paying them Canadian minimum wage by the hour. But then of course if we were doing that, we may as well be hiring North American nannies (!). Silly us. In my opinion, if you're working for a Canadian company/person, whether in Canada or elsewhere, you should be paid according to Canadian standards. Anything else is exploitation. Good for Drouin for setting standards & for taking on Ancestry over the quality of their indexing. BTW, what UK census year had its index withdrawn? As far as I know, they're all available either on Ancestry or FindMyPast, or both, from 1841 to 1911. I personally don't pay for my access to Ancestry, since I find the fees far too steep, especially considering the quality of the indexing. I use a cousin's user ID/password for free; next year we are considering splitting the cost of a membership, perhaps with other people. For UK records, it's much cheaper to use FindMyPast on a pay-per-use basis. 2009/8/31 Malcolm Moody <[1][email protected]> > Virtually all the large commercial genealogy data companies have > been > using "off-shore" agencies for indexing for many years now.

Do you mean FindMyPast.com? It used to be called 1837online.com since it began as an online index of UK BMD indexes, but since Rootsweb has also uploaded those for free, 1837online.com couldn't really charge for access & so changed its focus...now there's everything: censuses, immigration records, etc., all for the UK (England & Wales only, excluding Scotland & Ireland).

Believe it or not, there are other sources and there was a genealogical research life before the Drouin appeared on Ancestry. The PRDH is an excellent research source for Quebec records http://www.genealogy.umontreal.ca/en/ and the BMS2000 http://www.bms2000.org/Default.aspx is another one. Both are great subscription sites and well worth the relatively cheap costs. If you are only interested in free sites then try the LDS Pilot Project under Quebec records or visit your local Family History Centre and do it the old fashioned way - microfilm in a film reader and turn a crank or push a button. Check your local library and see if you can find a copy of Rene Jette's Genealogies of the French Families(?) or Cyprien Tanguay's books. Tanguay was on-line but it is not a source I use anymore so you will have to check. FYI, the Drouin collection of transcribed BMD records is also available in a set of books - albeit a bit of hike for some of us to the Canadian Room of the North York Library. The so-called Blue and Red Drouin marriage books are available at branches of the Societe Franco//-Ontarienne d'Histoire et de Généalogie. Try contacting them on-line for a lookup. It will probably cost you something but then these organizations don't exist on air. The Library of Canada will also send you every known marriage with your surname, from the landing in Quebec City to the present, for a very, very modest fee. The Red or 'Petit' Drouin is available on CD from many on-line book stores. From originals to transcripts, there are a lot of options. Be sure to check out Lorine's Olive Tree Genealogy, she's probably got a few listed that I missed. And of course, you can visit the Penetanguishene Museum and find almost every one of these sources just waiting for you - Quebec repertoires on CD, microfiche, in print or in a computer database.

Where else can you find where a cousin married his cousin, had the priest okay it and then have the Bishop overturn it.....after a lot of begging on the couples side, who have children by the way, and the priest, the bishop gives in and the couple remarries. Interesting items in there.... > > I also start with the marriages and work back, by using every spelling of the last name, first name, combining all forms of spellings and when it comes down to the end, if I know where they are from, I use first names and just look at all the records for that name in that area.
