Oh, Booth makes more sense than "Borth".. William Stephens married Elizabeth Love daughter of Amelia Ausman Love part of my husband's family.. I will look through some old photos to see if any were photographed by J. Frank Jackson studios. What part of Ireland did Thomas come from.. was Anne from the same area? Is John the only sibling for William? Thank you so much for any information.. I will try to look for the SCAN back issue.. how very interesting. Thanks again. Carol.

An ingenious housewife will manage to do with less conveniences, but these articles, if they can be purchased in the commencement of housekeeping, will save time and labor, making the preparation of food more easy- and it is al- ways economy in the end to get the best material in all wares -as, for instance, the double plate tin will last for years, whereas the poor kind has to be replaced in a short time; the low-priced earthenware is soon broken up, whereas the strong stoneware, costing but a trifle more, lasts almost a lifetime. In relation to the economy and management of the kitchen, I might suggest that the most essential thing is cleanliness in cooking, and also cleanliness with your person as well. as in the keeping of the kitchen. The hands of the cook should be always thoroughly cleansed before touching or handling anything pertaining to the cooking. Next there should never be anything wasted or thrown away that can be turned to account, either for your own family or some family in poor circumstances. Bread that has become hard can be used, for toasting, or for stuffing and pudding. In warm weather any gravies or soups that are left from the preceding day should be boiled up and poured into clean pans. This is particularly necessary where vegetables have been added to the preparation, as it then so soon turns sour. In cooler weather, every other day will be often enough to warm up these things. In cooking, clear as you go that is to say, do not allow a host of basins, plates, spoons, and other utensils, to accumulate on the dressers and tables whilst you are engaged in preparing the dinner. By a little management and forethought, much confusion may be saved in this way. It is as easy to put a thing in its place when done with, as it is to keep continually, moving it to find room for fresh requisites. For instance, after making a pudding, the flour-tub, paste-board, and rolling-pin, should be put away, and any basins, spoons, etc., should be neatly packed up near the sink, to be washed when the proper time arrives. Neatness, order, and method should be always observed. Never let your stock of spices, salt, seasonings, herbs, etc., dwindle down so low that some day, in the midst of preparing I large dinner, you find yourself minus a very important ingredient, thereby causing much confusion and annoyance. After you have washed your sauce-pans, fish-kettle, etc., stand them before the fire for a few minutes to get thoroughly dry inside, before putting them away. They should then be kept in a dry place, in order that they may escape the deteriorating influence of rust, and thereby be quickly destroyed. Never leave sauce-pans dirty from one day's use to be cleaned the next; it is slovenly and untidy; Do not be afraid of hot water in washing up dishes and dirty cooking utensils, As these are essentially greasy, lukewarm water cannot possibly have the effect of cleansing them effectually. Do not be chary also of changing and renewing the water occasionally. You will save yourself much time and labor by using Pearline in dish water. Keep a cake of Sapolio always on hand in the kitchen- always convenient for rubbing off stains from earthenware, tin, glass, in Tact, almost everything but silver; it is a cheap and valuable article, and can be purchased at nearly every grocery in Canada.

Hello Malcolm: Thanks so much for your letter of support you sent to Carole Stuart. Very much appreciated. Lynne. --------------------------------------- Jopie Loughhead was a great support as I searched my Simcoe County roots.She sent me details of their settlement and many newspaper clippings overmore than a decade. She was active on both the Simcoe County Rootsweb listand through the Bruce Grey Ontario Genealogical Society. She was a great contributor to the Simcoe County Roostweb list. Through itshe raised the profile of Collingwood and likely drew many visitors to town. I have saved 61 instances of her contributions to Simcoe County genealogy onmy computer data base. She is very deserving of recognition by the Awarding of the Order ofCollingwood.

Yes, many hours of hard work by people who use Family Tree program. All your info is uploaded to Ancestory which has a program to abstract it and put under its own copywrite. True that they have scanned some records, but they are charging hefty memberships. I prefer to pay vital stats and places like Scotland's People for documentation. Family Search is free and offers great leads in spite of some of its erroneous info. There are many free areas to do research in jammies on-line and places to get copies of BMDs reasonably plus numerous free census sites such as Automated Census which is free thanks to much hard work and effort of this site's administrator and her crew of volunteers. Many doing genealogy are seniors with limited research funds.
