With all of the cemetery adds and updates coming out,I hope some of you wonderful Canadian Geneologists can help me with a "humongous" Canadian brick wall that's had me occupied for years. I am searching for the Death/Burial Record for Henry A Ranson born 1787 in Co. Armagh, Ire. He died in about 1879. He married Julia Mullans, Feb 16, 1840 at St John the Baptist RC Church, Perth ON. The family lived in Perth Ontario and belonged to St. John the Baptist R. C. Parish. They had four children, David, Dennis, and twins, Cornelius and Bridget. David moved to Sault Ste Marie, ON. in 1870-71, then to Sault Ste Marie, MI in 1875. Dennis followed David to Soo MI soon after. Dennis' daughter, Isabelle married Michael J Traynor. Cornelius and Mother, Julia moved to Sault Ste Marie MI in 1879, about the same year Henry died. She appears in the 1880 census for Wabasha, Winona Co. MN. She apparently was visiting her daughter, Bridget Melvin, because she lived in Soo, MI where she died. If anyone has questions, or comments. you can email me directly. I don't like to clog up the lists. I am sending this to the Simcoe List because that's where my Patton line is from, and to the Grey List because of my connection to the Traynor Line. Thank you, in advance, for your help. Jim Patton Glendale, AZ

Dear Listers, Does anyone know who the parents of Marsdale and Valency Kitchen were? I have the following: March 27, 1924- The Orillia Packet- LOVERING- Mr. Marsdale Kitchen and brother Valency are visiting relatives for a few days. Any info appreciated! Gwen Cunningham gwenny@snet.net

Dear Listers my maternal grandmother - Reta Gettins her mother - Sophia McMillan her maternal grandmother, Sophia's mother - Jane Magill and then I am stuck. Jane Magill/McGill and her husband James McMillan are said to have come from Belfast c. 1860 and settled in Lennox & Addington County initially. They lived at Camden East and on Amherst Island. He was a school teacher. I have searched the Irish marriage registrations (for Protestants), the English marriage registers and the Canada West marriage registers. I cannot find a record of their marriage and therefore wonder if one or both of them abandoned a spouse in Ireland. my paternal grandmother - Ruth Blanche Kenny of Grey County her mother - Mary Ann Herron her maternal grandmother - Elizabeth Mitchell and then I am stuck again. I have her a resident of Manvers Twp, Durham Co when she got married in 1847. For my Simcoe Co connection: my paternal grandmother - Ruth Blanche Kenny her father - John Willoughby Kenny of Euphrasia Twp, Grey Co his mother - Ruth Willoughby grew up in West Gwillimbury Twp, SImcoe Co and was living there when she married George Kenny of Euphrasia Twp in 1848. Ruth Willoughby's mother - Isabella Ramsey born in Co Cavan, Ireland Lois Sparling Calgary, AB

Happy New Year one and all. This grannie discussion is fascinating - love seeing all the different names and places in the world from which our ancestors came. I posted my mom to mom to mom list yesterday; but the list for my paternal side also has Simcoe County connections - so a slight detour to the mother of my father and all her female ancestors: Grandmother Lydia (Queenie) WEBBER 2 November 1905 - 26 October 1944 Midland, Ont Great grandmother Rachel Jane STUCKEY 9 January 1879 Edgar Ontario - 11 January 1954 Midland, Ont. 2 x great Annie Elizabeth HODGSON c 1860 Vaughan - ?? 3 x great Rachel PRIEST 25 June 1838 Clarborough, Nottinghamshire, England - 20 September 1884 Craighurst, Ontario 4 x great Elizabeth TEMPLEMAN 21 July 1810 Norwell, Nottinghamshire, England - ?? 5 x great Esther HOOTON - no dates or locations at this time. I haven't done a lot of research for the England gang - I've been very lucky to have documentation provided by those more experienced in that part of the world, or distant cousins who live there. Any cousins lingering out there - drop me a line. Deborah

Are you tracing a female ancestor....? Cemeteries online have spousal duplicated photographs.

Over the years it has been apparent that this website is instrumental in breaking down researchers' brick walls. In fact many folks have travelled to cemeteries which are onboard to physically observe the grave markers. Please note that on some cemeteries we have included the contact information for the cemetery "record holders". * 3. If you don't see a Community and its' cemeteries online...it means a volunteer has not photographed and sent me the cemetery photographs. Can you or some of your family or friends help out by photographing the missing cemeteries....? * * FEEDBACK ******* * We are always interested in feedback from Visitors.

My ex-husband's Muggli family is from the same area. It's a Romansch speaking area, and the inhabitants are probably descendants of Roman soldiers who were given land there after completing their service. Roman soldiers could have come from anywhere in the Empire, but the Muggli name is probably from the Roman gens Mucio. Since folks were very, very freely adopted back then, and freed slaves also took the family name, and soldiers often used their general's name on taking citizenship, the name doesn't imply an origin in Rome itself. > Date: Fri, 31 Dec 2010 12:57:47 -0800 > From: gwenny@snet.net > To: can-ont-simcoe@rootsweb.com > Subject: [CAN-ONT-SIMCOE] Genealogical exercise > > Barbara Heloise Dunlop, 1911-1994, Cole Camp, Missouri > Emilie Maria Wilhelmine Hetzler, 1885- 1957, Canton, Missouri > Barbara Brosi, , 1849-1902, Galena, IL > Catharina Werli, 1823- 1906, Davos-Glaris, Switzerland > Barbla Accola, 1799-?, Davos-Glaris, Switzerland > Anna Wildener, 1772-1832, Davos-Glaris, Switzerland > Barbla Ambuel, 1739-1800, Davos-Platz, Switzerland > Anna Kunzi, 1705- 1741, Davos-Frauenkirch, Switzerland > Greta Bikhel, 1667- 1729, Davos Frauenkirch, Switzerland > Anneli Nierin, ?- 1712, Married 15 Feb 1666- Died Davos, Graubuenden > > That's my maternal line.
