This is the notice from Rootsweb: Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. I've been moderating this group for 15 years and it's been a great group and helped so many all these years to research their English speaking, protestant ancestors in Missisquoi county area of Quebec. We have also used this mailing list to organize volunteers all over the world who have transcribed tens of thousands of parish records, directories, census, various lists, notary records and newspaper listings . So we have to continue our work. These are the 3 things we (YOU AND I ) need to do. ALL OF THIS INFORMATION WILL BE POSTED ON BLOG WITH LIVE LINKS to our blog ! First: I have bought our domain (webpage) we are on BlogSpot now http://missisquoigenealogy.blogspot.com/ but I think we should now own our name and webpage. You can donate to these costs by sending me a donation on PayPal <https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/my/profile> paypal.me/nancycunningham (you can cut and paste this text ) or just send to cunningb2@gmail.com <mailto:cunningb2@gmail.com> or Missisquoigenealogy@gmail.com <mailto:Missisquoigenealogy@gmail.com> Email me if you want to send a check or you could even send an Amazon gift card send card to cunningb2@gmail.com <mailto:cunningb2@gmail.com> . Thank You! Our blog has 200 page views per day and over 5,000 last month --so we help many, many people researching in this area. Second: I have created a email group on the IO platform, many of the Rootsweb groups are moving to IO platform. I can't afford the $250.00 per year for a premium site, but we do have a nice working basic membership- I can't import the mailing list without being a premium member so you'll need to go to page and sign up yourself. https://groups.io/g/Missisquoigenealogy/ Third: I have created a newsletter. I thought I'd like to send an email newsletter occasionally with information, news and volunteer projects, maybe a few times a year. Sign up here : https://mailchi.mp/a39b6681d9df/missisquoigenealogy This maybe the last time I can contact you this way, so SAVE this email and do the 3 things above and you will stay connected to this research/volunteer group and continue to help people research in this area. Thank you all so much - see you on the other side of the bridge! ;-) Thanks, Nancy Cunningham You can always email me: cunningb2@gmail.com I don't use Facebook but we have a page /group and you can use it: https://www.facebook.com/Missisquoi-Genealogy-539005909495662/ This was first post on our mailing list 15 years ago Stanbridge research page announced ! by Nancy Cunningham Our new web page is up! I'd love to hear any suggestions, corrections or additions this site is also mirrored on ROOTSWEB@ We are combining our efforts and pooling our resources in the Stanbridge area. We hope that this site will not only help us further our research on our Stanbridge families but it will also be a great tool to help newcomers. .. You will also see that we have posted the scanned images of the name pages from 1st part of the 1851 census ( roll 1127) for Stanbridge and we are now beginning an index project. We would love to have you involved too. Do you have a local family ? Would you like to be involved ? Do you have Stanbridge resources you'd be willing to share ? Would you be willing to help with the 1851 indexing project ? Thanks so much, Nancy Cunningham

We need volunteers to transcribe ! It's easy and fun and you really get a feeling of accomplishing something. The records are only a few lines long and they are in batch of 25 ! https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050e4baaaf2ca02-clarenceville3 These mailing lists are all being ended by Rootsweb/Ancestry I will have another mailing list ready soon to keep this group together. Probably the easiest thing will be a newsletter ( maybe monthly ) and one of the first things I want to do is do a roll call of everyone's research families. I've been admin of this group for 14 years so it's near and dear to my heart and not going anywhere - we still need to do transcribing work and help each other research our elusive Missisquoi ancestors!! Thanks save my email somewhere Nancy cunningb2@gmail.com <mailto:cunningb2@gmail.com> The blog here : http://missisquoigenealogy.blogspot.com/ Blog/also me email: Missisquoigenealogy@gmail.com
From Randy Seavers blog this morning . guess this was inevitable We have always organized around our mailing list - I will work on setting up something else and we will still have our message board More soon, nancy RootsWeb Mailing Lists Shutting Down on 2 March 2020 An email from the RootsWeb Administrators to mailing list administrators says this: Beginning March 2nd, 2020 the Mailing Lists functionality on RootsWeb will be discontinued. Users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails or accept incoming emails. Additionally, administration tools will no longer be available to list administrators and mailing lists will be put into an archival state. Administrators may save the emails in their list prior to March 2nd. After that, mailing list archives will remain available and searchable on RootsWeb. As an alternative to RootsWeb Mailing Lists, Ancestry message boards are a great option to network with others in the genealogy community. Message boards are available for free with an Ancestry registered account.Thank you for being part of the RootsWeb family and contributing to this community. Sincerely, The RootsWeb team It appears from the email message that users will no longer be able to send outgoing emails to a mailing list or accept incoming email message from a mailing list. However, it does say that the mailing lists "... will be put into an archival state." That probably means that users will be able to search the mailing list archives similar to the archived message board lists on Genealogy.com. Ancestry.com is the owner of RootsWeb.com, and provides the server storage and mailing list software and support. This is Ancestry.com's decision.

This is wonderful!! On Thursday, November 28, at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time, Heather Darch will speak in English about Fenians in the Neighbourhood. Register <https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2132629647356780291> here to watch live. Ms. Darch, Missisquoi Museum curator and a projects director for the Quebec Anglophone Heritage Network, will discuss the community of Missisquoi County that lived close to the border during the Fenian Raids of 1866. While attention has been given to the Fenian soldiers, the Canadian and British militia units as well as the home guards during the Fenian Raids conflict, the citizens of the border region were also involved and directly affected by the military action that took place in what was a relatively quiet region in Quebec. From court documents, letters and diaries, the voices of those who lived along the border add another element to a fascinating local story and an important part of Canadian history. Sign up early for the webinars. Only a limited number of people can register. https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/2132629647356780291

Hi, Greetings from a complete stranger who happens to have Abner Barnes in her family tree because he married a distant cousin. On the 1851 Canadian census his birthplace is listed as Vermont. I tend to collect entire families (my 4X great grandparents died in Dunham in 1846) and I'm a sucker for a mystery. Vinten Barnes is on the 1790 census in Brandon, Rutland, Vermont. If you look at the second page of the 1842 Lower Canada census for Hiram Barnes, it indicated that there are two people in his household who were not born in Canada. Both Vinten Barnes and Betsey Coates Barnes were still alive in 1842. Since there's a person buried in the Barnes cemetery named David Coates Barnes, I'd guess that he was a son of Vinten Barnes and Betsey Coates. And I presume that you found the 1843 record for Cynthia Durkee Barnes remarriage to a man named Henry Nelson Wilson. Good luck with your search. I hope I may have helped.

My maternal grandfather Hoyt Wood was born in Stanbridge in 1899 and came to the San Francisco Bay Area with his family as a teenager. Both of his parents and all four of his grandparents were both born in and died in Missisquoi (Dunham, Stanbridge, and Frelighsburg). This includes the Wood, Cornell, Curtis, and Barnes families. All eight of his great grandparents appear to have been born in New England and died in Missisquoi. In addition to the surnames above, this includes the Skeels, Baxter, Morey, and Durkee families. I have been able to trace 7 of these 8 families back to their New England origins. The one line I have not been able to trace is that of Hiram Barnes (1799 - 1842). Using the wonderful resources available (the censuses of 1825, 1831, 1842; the church records from All Saints Church in Dunham and Holy Trinity Church in Frelighsburg; and his tombstone in Barnes Cemetery), I have been able to determine: * He was born 11 Jul 1799 (place unknown) * He married Cynthia Durkee on 1 Jan 1822 at All Saints Church in Dunham * He owned a farm of 100 acres in St. Armand * He was a miller by trade * He died on 27 Aug 1842 with a burial service on 29 Aug at Holy Trinity Church in Frelighsburg. I have not been able to discover his parentage, however. I have looked at records in Vermont, Connecticut, and Massachusetts where he may have originated. "Barnes" is also spelled "Barns" on some records. There are two possibilites that stand out but I have not found anything definitive indicating whether either of these is accurate: 1) Father: Vinten Barnes (1764-1851); Mother: Betsey Coates (1764-1848) of St. Armand 2) Father: Willard Barnes (1766-1848); Mother: Dorothy/Dolly Stevens (?-1852) of Dunham 3) John Barnes who came with Abel Stevens to the Rideau Lakes area of Ontario Based on their proximity on census records, I am inclined to item 1) above, which also would imply Hiram's brothers are Abner and George Barnes. Does anyone have any information on Hiram Barnes' parentage, place of birth, and ancestry?
