Thank you to all that had a look at, and responded to my query, regarding the initials "HB", in the 1880 census. I am told there is a bracket and asterisk on the page and a note to the effect that the initials are actually meant to be "NB", for New Brunswick. With that confirmation, all the other details I have for these two boys fall into place. They were born in Albert County, New Brunswick and their parents and older brother, Charles, are found in 1880, in New Castle County, Delaware. Charles is listed as a "School teacher", which may account for the two younger boys being in that school in Boston. As well, there were other relatives to the boys, who lived in Boston. According to the trusty "Relationship Calculator" in my genealogy programme, they would be my "first cousin twice removed". I am very grateful to all who took the time and effort to respond... you are a wonderful group. Richard

if the initials are C. B., wouldn't that be Cape Breton?

"C.B." could be Cape Breton..............

Hello Richard -- I had some idea that HB might have been NB for New Brunswick, but when I looked at the image itself, it's clearly HB; boys with unknown parents.

Has anyone on this list searched out or is otherwise familiar with the family of the Abram Marsh Hatfield, born 1802 or so, and Mary Cook, born 1806? I am finding conflicting information regarding at least some of the 15 or so kids that they had. Their son Jones is my direct ancestor. I believe they came from the Tusket area and moved to Beverly Mass USA. For example they supposedly had two daughters, Dora Ann and Deborah A, about 10 years apart. There are listings that show Deborah marrying a Mr Wilson and then Jacob Hatfield but on Nova Scotia Ancestry I can find a marriage of Jacob to Dora Wilson. There is also some variation in the names posted.. Thanks in advance faye

In the 1880 Census, for Monson, Hampden, Massachusetts - Source: FHL Film 1254534 National Archives Film T9-0534 Page 354A , there is an institution under the name of one GARDINER TUFTS, which contains 43 Staff all told. Four children are listed as "inmate" or "inmate at school". 346 children are listed as "at school". Ages of children, (not belonging to staff), range as low as 3 months to 18 years. Children as low as 4 years are listed as "at school". Most all of the children show a "birth state" or "birth country", and the short form used is readily recognized. However there are two boys, Samuel A. and Thomas J. Murray, ages 13 & 10 respectively, listed as "at school" with place of birth shown as "HB". Can anyone enlighten me as to what "HB" would stand for. The two boys in question were born in Canada, and later documentation show they immigrated to the USA in 1873. Thanks for any help, Richard

Hello Richard... When I looked at the Heritage Quest census page containing the lines for Samual A and Thomas J MURRAY, I saw what certainly LOOKED like "H B". However, on the census sheet, the two "H B"s were bracketed, and marked with an asterisk. At the bottom of the census sheet is another asterisk with the words "had it New Brunswick", with the N and the B underlined. Hope this helps. Regards, Marge-from-Snohomish County, Washington

At one time guilds carried a lot of power. The Hatters Guild had a law passed that men had to wear hats and those caught not wearing one were fined. Thought some of you might enjoy looking at this site showing those fined for not wearing hats in England. No idea if any will find a family name. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~exy1/fh_material/fines.txt Lauraine

Hi Linda, I'm not sure you are referring to the page I posted. It is http:// germanoriginality.com/. I don't know how to make it so you can just click on what I wrote, so you will put it in manually. It is a little confusing website but i did find good info pertaining to my german ancestors. all the best, Wendy On Oct 31, 2008, at 4:06 PM, Linda Mock wrote: > I can't get Wendy's, german page to open up.any suggestions. am > looking > for DUZEL, Gustav Adolphus > > ~Linda~ > IF I knew then, what I know now.... > I would have done then, what i can't do now. > > When you want to respond to a query or comment posted on this > List, I find it MUCH easier to post a new message -- remembering > to include the SUBJECT from the post you are responding to !! > Please make sure there is a SURNAME or place-name in the Subject. > > To search the archives: > http://archiver.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/search?path=CAN-USA-MIGRATION > The information page is: > http://lists.rootsweb.com/index/other/Immigration/CAN-USA- > MIGRATION.html > > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to CAN-USA- > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without > the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
