Hi Betty. You are right. Many folks move to a nursing home because their hands don't work anymore [ie arthritis] or they can't see as well. BUT they still can visit and have LOTS of stories to tell. However, when going to visit, go with caution. Keep expectations real. Don't expect to be entertained. Writing letters for them [even if they are not mailed], reading books/Bible, take a history book of your local area with pictures in it to talk about, and ask to give them water, very important for the older folks to drink. You could help at lunch to feed them and then maybe you could talk about cooking a long time ago. Lots of ideas. I was a Red Cross youth volunteer in a nursing home many moons ago. It was one of the best experiences in my life. I loved all those old folks. Donna Michigan

Lady, I love you. I'll follow your advice. Maybe I'll find someone in the nursing home I know, but I'll just go and ask the personnel if there is someone who does not receive visitors. ALSO: If someone like YOU needs to put her genealogy papers in order "in case", then there may be hope for me. I have 7 file drawers FULL of information that nobody but me could understand - just GOTTA get busy at it. Cheers, Yolanda P.S.: NO ANSWER TO THIS IS NECESSARY - YOU HAVE ENOUGH TO DO !!

> http://germanoriginality.com/index.php Just saw this website and found amazing information on my German family that came to Nova Scotia in 1750.. Anyone with German roots should check this out. Go to the Genealogy Page.

Much sympathy to my Canadian neighbors on your loss of Peter. ~Linda~ IF I knew then, what I know now.... I would have done then, what i can't do now.

Hi, You all have given me a great idea for the holidays. I always give to the kids funds, food kitchens, etc around the holidays. Now I will get together a few baskets for the nursing homes. I will put boxes of stationery, large grip pens and pencils, assorted stickers, stamps and so on in the baskets.

Hello, A few weeks ago I heard on one of the Scotland Lists that a well-liked, very helpful researcher in Australia had a sudden illness and was forced to go live in a Nursing Home. This reminded me of something I mentioned on some Lists a couple years ago: Don't forget to go visit someone in a Nursing Home !! You never know what "family story" you might hear. Or, you never know what tidbit of information you need - might be available from a resident of a Nursing Home. Next week it will be the month of November ! Time for holidays for some. Time for "family get-togethers." And, time to remember those people who can no longer attend Thanksgiving Dinners. As I mentioned a couple years ago on a List, I had asked that a "letter to the Editor" be posted in a local paper in Canada - in regards to one of my ancestors. I can't remember whether it was for Nova Scotia or New Brunswick. A few weeks later I received a hand-written letter in the mail. A resident of a Nursing Home had seen my "letter to the Editor" in her newspaper and thought she had some information which could help me in my research. She had to borrow 2 pieces of paper from a nurse, and a pen, and she had to write her letter from the arm of her wheelchair. Then she had to borrow an envelope and a stamp from a nurse, so she could mail the letter to me. As it turned out, one of the people on the List worked at that Nursing Home and knew the lady. She personally went in the next morning and told the lady that I had received the letter and enjoyed it. Another reminder? Remember that the residents of a Nursing Home -- no longer have access to their home, and their desk, nor a convenience store. And, if they want to write a letter to someone, they can't. So, when you visit a friend or loved one in a Nursing Home, please remember to bring some "writing supplies" with you, etc. For different reasons, I visited a local Nursing Home in the 1980's, and was told about a woman who would ask to be dressed on Sunday morning -- because her family was going to be coming to visit her. She would get into her wheelchair and go out to the "front door" and sit there - hours on end - waiting. This was every Sunday, and no one ever came. And, if you know of someone who has suddenly gone to live in a Nursing Home, maybe you could find out if their "family research" has gone into safe hands. I'll post a more cheerful message .. later in the day ! :o) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator P.S. I had a sudden and unexpected, life-threatening illness 2 yrs. ago this month. I was told I had a "miraculous recovery" by several doctors. My boxes of genealogy papers? Only Heaven knows what would have happened to them ! Some day when "life events" slow down, I "WILL" put them in better order ! :o) But, I've posted a great deal of my "research" on the Lists and Boards, so at least some of the data can be found there. :o)

Hello, It is sad to hear of another "sudden death" on the genealogy Lists. We tend to forget how many "senior citizens" participate on the Lists - for one thing. But, heart attacks which cause immediate deaths are - another thing - and they can happen to any one at any age. My husband was working a 45-yr.-old man earlier this month and he said, By, on Friday afternoon. The man went home said, Hi, to his wife and young children, took a shower, ate supper, and "dropped dead." Sudden heart attack which caused immediate death. My father had his first heart attack at Age 45; it was serious, but, for whatever reason, he survived it, only to have a 2nd one a couple years later. He again survived, and "then" decided to take better care of himself. Going back a few years my husband at Age 9 watched one of his grandmothers "drop dead" and he was quickly shuffled out of the room. One of my great-grandfathers was sitting at the supper table when he "dropped dead." He was 55 and it was probably a Stroke. I used to know a woman in my town in the 1980's whose husband, probably in his 40's "choked to death" - at the supper table in front of his wife and children. My favorite aunt almost "choked to death" while in her 50's, but my father was nearby and was able to rescue her - his sister-in-law. I'm watching the news this morning, and a 9-yr-old boy was killed when he accidentally shot himself with an "automatic weapon" at a "pumpkin shoot." IF these "sudden deaths" at any age are still happening now, how many times did they happen in our ancestors' lives? Also on the news this morning (Boston, MA) is the reported death of a baby, near Age 2. "SIDS" has probably been around since the beginning of time. And, my husband's other grandmother was pregnant with twins when her husband was killed in a car accident. She delivered a month later, but both boys died before they were 2. She told her grandson that she believed that the "milk" had killed them, probably suffocating them. Sorry to discuss such .. sad circumstances .. on a Monday morning, but ... things happen ! :o( I hope everyone has a week of .. happy things ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share this exciting news with everyone: Incoming UK Ships Passenger lists are now online! Genealogists can now search for ancestors on UK Incoming Ships Passenger Lists, 1878-1960 These new passenger lists include OUTBOUND lists from Canada and America as well as other countries such as Australia, all heading for ports in the United Kingdom. Read more about this terrific new resource at http://olivetreegenealogy.blogspot.com/ Neither Canada or America maintained "outbound" passenger lists. The records for all these ship passengers travelling between 1890 and 1960 are the only United Kingdom "inbound" lists, but prior to this month, they were not indexed, nor microfilmed. The original inbound lists were kept at Public Record Office in Kew, England, and they could only be viewed in person. Now they are online and I've been having a lot of fun finding my own ancestors going back to England from Canada.

G'Day Al, I've got a few Loyalists in my tree (Stevens, Dachstader and Decew) and am always keen for any info that verifies things about them (as Australia where I am is a heck of a long way away from the paper archives etc lol)... is it possible to somehow see a copy of the legislation as well? there were a lot of variations of their surname spelling, and I've never seen an actual list of those expelled. My lot were part of the last stand at Fort Niagara with Butler's Rangers. Thanks & best wishes Willow A.

Perhaps this List of Loyalists would help me too. May I have a copy? Cheers, Yolanda

Thank you to Al for his kindness in sending us the Banishment List. Also on the GenMassachusetts List some time ago, I believe it was Janice Farnsworth who had put info on that list regarding Loyalists who had been banned from Mass.
