Marg, Thank you, thank you!!!!! This has just proved the connection to my family that I was fairly certain existed, but hadn't been able to prove!! This makes him the brother of my ggrandfather, same parents names. I can now state that he was born Manchester, Lancashire, England, son of Edward McARDELL and Anne Mary STANLEY and that Jane Taylor was his second wife. Now if I can just find where I saved the census info. I had followed my Joseph from 1841 England, 1851 England, couldn't find him 1861, but found this one in Canada in 1861, then mine was back in England in 1871 (his father died August 29, 1871), then this one was in Canada in 1881 and Minnesota in 1885, right after my ggrandfather had immigrated in May 1884 to Minnesota with his family, and family lore had it that my ggrandfather knew someone here, that was why they came here. I had also found the name and address of one of the descendants of this couple in my grandfather's address book from the 1940s, years after his McARDELL wife had died (1917) and he had remarried. I have been researching this family for years because I was so sure there was a connection! I love it when my gut feelings come to fruition! I started on the family again yesterday because I was contacted by the friend of a descendant of the family who was helping her work on her family tree. What a wonderful thing for both of us, and for the other descendants of this couple who I have talked to over the years and can now tell them for sure that we are related. Thank you, thank you, Annie in Minnesota p.s. What is the URL for that pilot page, please. In a message dated 9/5/2010 1:50:02 A.M.
