By happy coincidence, I too had a GGGrandfather born in Ireland who retired from the army in Canada in 1847 and have already made a similar inquiry with great results. I heartily recommend the professional researcher who helped me, John Dagger of Dagger & Dagger, J.Dagger@btinternet.com. His rates are reasonable and his work is prompt. He found the ship my ancestor came on in 1826. ----- Original Message ----- From: "C Coogan" <ccoogan@yahoo.com> To: <CAN-SHIPSLISTS-PRE1865-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 17, 2002 7:38 AM Subject: [CanShipsPre1865] Military Transports to Canada > Fellow Researchers, > > Has anyone tried to identify ancestors through the > transport of British military troops to Canada? > > I have a GGGransfather born in Ireland who retired > from the Army in Canada in 1847 but can't tell when or > how he arrived? > > Any help would be appreciated. > > Charles C. > > ===== > Genealogy Surname Interests: > COOGAN/KOOGAN/ROBBINS/ARMSTRONG/VAN LOON/MACNAMARA > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup > http://fifaworldcup.yahoo.com > > > ==== CAN-SHIPSLISTS-PRE1865 Mailing List ==== > Read about immigration to Canada before 1865 at > http://olivetreegenealogy.com/articles/immcanpre1865.shtml > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > >
