Would love to invite my paternal Grandmother, a wonderful role model and who was such a large influence in my life Would have many more questions to ask her and would love my grandchildren to meet her. Would also invite my 3x great grandmother Agnes Nichol and discover who her parents were and try to determine how they lived in the early 1800's in Lower Canada. Never met my paternal Grandmother's Mom and would invite her. She died in 1919 during the great flu epidemic so would want to know why her last child was named Elasta Elizabeth and why my paternal Grandmother seems to be the only child whose birth wasn't registered. Think having these 3 women at the table would be interesting and add lots of family love and lore. Lauraine Children need models rather than critics. --Joseph Joubert

I would invite my g-g-grandmother, Sally White Wallis to dinner. I would love to have her father, Stephen White and mother, Sarah, for dinner as well. I also would invite my William Conn and his wife, Margaret Taylor Conn whose father was William Taylor from New Brunswick. I have am obit on Sally which says she was an interesting woman and lived in the house that her 1st father-in-law built in Gloucester. Her 1st husband died in England as a prisoner during the War of 1812, she then married Joseph Wallis and had my g-grandmother who was married to John York veteran of Civil War. I believe they would be interesting people to have for dinner, and my brick walls would come tumbling down.

I would invite every Comeau family so they could straighten out who my family is that is one concrete wall that only one person has been able to make some kind of connection with it is a mystery to me because I come from a very small family but yet I know the Comeau family is very big and I have never been able to connect with any of them and my great grandfather still has a daughter living so I should be able to connect but she was younger than her sisters and really doesn't know very much the only story she really remembers is they lived in the back woods and when she went up there once and had to use the ladies room they gave her a pot to use and she said she never used it lol when I ask her what her fathers name is she says Frank Comeau I said are you sure it wasn't Francoise she said no I only knew him as Frank and he never wanted anyone to know he was from canada but I have letters from his brother Mickel in New Brunswick Canada well if anyone has any suggestions please email me directly [email protected]_ (mailto:[email protected]) also I did obtain Frank's Marriage license from Maine and it says his mother is Susan O'Donnell and his fathers name is Frank and he is deceased in Nov 30 1909 and Susan is Living in new Brunswick thank you Cheryl Ward **************New MapQuest Local shows what's happening at your destination.

Hello, Happy Thanksgiving to all residents of Canada and their families ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator P.S. Sorry I haven't been participating on the Lists too much for a month or two. I've been EXTRA busy at home. I'm hoping things will quiet down by the end of the month, so I can get back to genealogy.

I would invite my fifth great grandparents Silas HEFFLON or HEFFERLAND and his wife Polly KNAPP.  Silas came from Ireland with his parents as a boy to Ireland.  He met Polly Knapp and they married about 1800 as they are in Surry, NH in 1805 at the WRIGHT's.  I am especially interested in finding Polly's parent's names and where in Ireland Silas came from.   ----- Original Message ---- From: Myra Herron <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2008 9:42:59 AM Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Which Ancestor Would You Invite to Dinner ?

Tomorrow is Canada's Thanksgiving day, earlier than in the U.S. Happy Thanksgiving to all the Canadians on the list. Someone sent me this site of a World Clock and althought there is a bit of advertising on the left side - you can ignore that part - the rest is interesting. You can see numbers changing on it. http://www.peterrussell.com/Odds/WorldClock.php Lauraine

Early days of Fort Detroit - this site probably has some fur trade families: This is a fascinating site giving some insite into the early French settlement in the Fort Detroit area and connections with the Natives. Whether all the information is true in a site likes this, is always open to question and further documentation and study. http://www.agt.net/public/dgarneau/metis4a.htm

This information is about the Cherokee Indian lands in Tenessee. Am posting the following clip so you can see how it appears these children from one family were baptized on the same day. Obviously having a minister or man-of-cloth in the community was not an everyday experience. Found the site quite interesting as it gives some flavor of life during the period. Seems this site offers lots of historical information and family names so am hoping some of you find it worthwhile. No idea if any Canadians on the list, but posting anyway.

Sorry for the delay in answering this, but I had no internet or telephone yesterday for about 12 hours and just got it back this morning. I don't know for certain, since I have not had ancestry for years , but I think that those other postings got their information from me. I think one of them was a Jim Hartigan. He said it was his wife's line. There were also a couple of mistakes in what he entered. When you sent me those other names, I did look into everything that you sent and still came up with nothing. I am certain that these people were "kin" but not in my direct line. I am looking for Francis & Delia and I did not see those names on there except in a time frame other than what I need. I am also looking for a Stephen DeRosier. I know that Stephen translates into Etienne, but his wife is not the wife of my Stephen. His wife was Rosetta Mallette b. Montreal ca about 1803. In later years she often went by the name Susan DeRosier. I am very intimidated by the "dit" name research and have not done any of it. It all seems so confusing to me. How would you ever be able to research anything under those circumstances? I mean, these people are very hard to find even without that thrown into the mix.

Spotted this site today and saw a number of SIBLEY names. Still not sure if my lot. There are quite a few French names and others from 17th, 18th & 19th centuries. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rigenweb/cemetery/cemetery326.html Lauraine If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance." - George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950)

Hi Marilyn, What about land records and wills in St. Lawrence County? The census also tells where they lived and who their neighbours were, which can also help find relatives in the area. I left 2 postings on Ancestry for you asking for information from 2 other researchers who had Francis and Delia in their trees. I think it would be good for you to "flesh out" the family tree of Etienne Desrosiers and Marie Madeleine Caty. By that I mean hook up with the folks working on that line. As Etienne was born in Mille Roches, someone will have more for you. There are lines listed on the Corwallgenes page. By connecting with "cousins" you may find that someone has a little scrap of information that you need. The big problem that you may have is that Desrosier was used as a dit name in combination with other surnames. You will see at least 5 combinations on the Cornwall site, so you may need to look at some of those names in the Mille Roche area, too. Mary Frego Coates

Yes, I have the family from 1840 on, but I want to find out what was going on before that.

In 1840 they were living in Brasher. I have discovered that Alexander was born in Mille Roches in Canada. From that I have deduced that there were most likely family members there. Probably went to visit and had the baby while there. There were children born previous to Alexander who were born in NY, and all the ones after were also born there, so I have thought that they had just gone to visit and maybe the baby came a little early. It's funny but I have never found any evidence that either the Cassidays or the DeRosiers lived in the Stormont or Cornwall area. I am not sure what Cornwall was in the early 1800s, although information I have gathered says that they were. I am unsure of how to proceed unless I can find parents of Francis and Delia. Some have suggested that I look in the Quebec area, but with so little to go on Quebec is a very daunting area for research. I spent an afternoon at the end of August in Canton and while the staff was very helpful, I found nothing beyond what I already knew.
