_____ Subject: Names I am researching Hello to All, I would like to thank Pat for administering this list. Maybe it will help to break down one of my brick walls. I am searching for the MILES/MYLES family in Ontario. I have found Margaret MILES with children on the 1881 census as a widow. Her maiden name was O'LEARY and it lists her as coming from Ireland, as a Catholic and with children, Michael born 1860, Jane born 1867, Ann born 1871, Mary born 1868, and William born 1875. This is the only record I can find on the computer. Her husband was Frederick J. MILES/MYLES born 1830 in Scotland and died 1880, unknown where. Both their gravestones are located in Massachusetts where the children all immigrated as well. Can anyone help me to find where in Ontario or even all of Canada to go next? I have found the census records from 1851 to 1901 and they are not there as far as I can see. Knowing me, I missed something I should have seen. Again, thanks to Pat for opening up another avenue for my search and thanks to all who read this message. My e-mail address is Covell@pivot.net and I would love to hear from anyone who could help. I do have the ancestry down from there if anyone needs it. Joanne in Vermont

Now clues are surfacing nearer Winnebago, WI. So I will check out this subscription to see if the name appears.

I want to welcome everyone to this new list. I started it a two weeks ago and then went to Denver for a week and haven't had the time to devote to a new list and I appologize for being so late to welcome all of you. Since we already have over 50 new members, tonight I put up a website to cover how to subscribe, unsubscribe and post to the list. It also lists some important rules/guidelines that we all need to follow to make this list successful. In the next month I will start a surname registry for the list where you will all be able to add your surnames. I have Boyles and Booths from County Kilkenny who settled in Thorald, Welland County in the middle 1800s. When you check the webpage (link at the bottom of this post if you are on L subscription. I have also added the link to the Digest), you will see there is an empty section for Ontario Irish Links. So, I think it would be great if we all send our favorite Irish links and our favorite Ontario links to the list with a short description. After a few days, I will post them to the webpage for everyone to use. Thanks to all for joining the list and I hope you will find it instrumental in solving some of those genealogical mysteries.... -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA, list admin http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus

Is anyone searching the family of DARRELL? Fran

George Morgan b 1813 in Ireland. Migrated to Canada with his parents before 1838. His wife Margaret Dagg , was born in 1819 in Ireland. She migrated a little later with her family to Canada also before 1838. She had a sister who married Robert Dean. The Morgans and Deans migrated to the United States about 1855-1860. The Morgans to Wisconsin and the Deans to Minnesota. In the 1851 Census records, the Morgans are in March Township. One of the other families was in Fitzroy. They were all members of the Church of England. The parents of George Morgan were George and Mary Morgan. Nothing is known about the parents of Margaret Dagg. Looking for any possible cemetery records of George and Mary and any immigration records of either Morgan or Dagg family. I live in Northern California.

Thanks to George, from the Irish Heritage Newsletter Irish Tea Cake 4 2/3 c all-purpose flour 2 1/2 c dried currants 2 1/2 t baking powder 1 1/2 c softened, butter 2 1/2 c sugar 3 T lemon juice 1 1/2 t vanilla 4 eggs 1 1/4 c milk Glaze: 1 c sifted, confectioner's sugar 1 T lemon juice, mixed with 2 t water 1. Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees. Grease two loaf pans. 2. Place the 2/3 c of flour in a bowl and mix in currants; set aside. 3. Sift together remaining flour and baking powder. 4. Beat together butter, sugar, lemon juice and vanilla; beat in eggs one at a time. 5. Add sifted ingredients alternately with milk in 3 or 4 additions. Mix only to just combine. Fold in currants alongwith the coating flour. Spoon batter in prepared pans and smooth tops. 6. Bake for 1 hour and 20 - 25 minutes or until loaves are lightly browned, springy to the touch and begin to pull away from sides of pan. 7. Cool for 15 minutes and carefully turn out loaves from pans by loosening cakes around the edges with a spatula. Cool for one hour. 8. Prepare glaze by whisking ingredients together until smooth. Place wax paper under cakes and drizzle glaze over the tops of each cake. Before glaze hardens, smooth glaze over cake tops with spatula and allow to harden before cutting cakes. *these cakes freeze beautifully* -- Pat Connors, Sacramento CA http://www.connorsgenealogy.com All outgoing mail virus free, scanned by ZoneAlarm AntiVirus
