Hi Debbie: Presume your Hugh & Bridget Curley were on the Canadian 1851 census? Did they live in Lower Canada or Upper Canada, the Martimes or? If they were in the Martimes, you may want to have someone check the U.S. 1860 Census for New England States and New York. Lots of border crossings for work back then. Both Boston and New York had large Irish Catholic areas. It is just great you were reunited and are close to one of your sisters. Glad you feel your were the lucky one. Many adoptive parents wanted children so badly and it must be hard for them when the children start looking for their roots, especially if they knew there were any negative things to find.

I agree, going sideways really helps find out alot of information that we would never find out. Numerous times, I have found family members that connect me to my "brick walls". My father was also adopted & I agree that it really helps find out "who we are", especially when one side of our family tree has been blank for so long. Although every member may not want to know the 'truth' to some of us it is a need. It is sometimes hard for others to understand that we have no idea who we look like (or our children look like), why we are musical, artistic or whatever. My father's adoptive parents were the most wonderful people and they will always be my grandparents, however I still want to know...Cindy in Ontario >From: "Debbie Bert" <[email protected]> >Reply-To: [email protected] >To: <[email protected]> >Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Finding Out About Siblings of Ancestors >Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2008 18:04:34 -0400 > >On our Curley line, can't find what happened to my Huge and Bridget Curley >after the census of 1851.

On our Curley line, can't find what happened to my Huge and Bridget Curley after the census of 1851. They were an irish catholic family so I figure there must be other siblings for their one son that we know of. I have never turned up anything and I am still searching to find out when and where Huge and Bridget died. On another note, I am adopted and was reunited with my birth family at 38, I am now 56. It was very healing and wonderful for me but I understand not everyone feels that way. I was raised as an only child, so it was great to find out I was one of seven children. I now have a sister that I am very close to and their are other people that look like me! My mothers life was not good and she was a horrible abusive mother, I was the lucky one. For me, I needed to know. deb in mi ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dalle, Nancy, Civ, 126 CES, CEOR, 4878" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 9:53 AM Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Finding Out About Siblings of Ancestors >A lot of times you may want to find out information about brothers and > sisters, and half brothers and sisters but other family members don't. > Remember to respect the other members while you are researching. > > My husband and his brothers were placed in Foster Care when he was 3 years > old.

Kinda off on another tangent here but I often wonder if people have gotten rude awakenings with the DNA tracking. As in nothing matches for them while siblings/parents do. Lita People of integrity expect to be believed and when they're not, they let time prove them right. Come see me at http://www.picturetrail.com/grammapux http://community.webshots.com/user/grammapux

You have brought up a very important point. Most families have some "dirty linen" somewhere in their tree. If it is upsetting to others within the family, do feel researchers should keep this information private for their own use. In Canada until 1969, Divorce Decrees passed through Parliament. It is possible to research Divroce Decrees via Archives Canada - have two supposed divorces in our family that aren't there? Did they actually divorce? Was the divorce done in the U.S. (not legal at the time in Canada) or just cohabitate with their second spouses? Although cohabitating is a common practice today, not so back then and some families do not want anyone poking around such things. My Mother's generation were very distressed by any divorces and even marital separations within the family. Definitely important to respect family feelings and sense of privacy, even if you don't understand it.

Hi Listers, I have long , listen to many discussions about the adoption or orphan issues. You have to wonder what the poor kids feels, as they watch the only parents,<often in trying times at best> turn and walk away, and of the lives they lived on their own to adulthood. But then also, what about the parents and the deep need to hope their child gets a better start in life. We know from many items on line that really seldom happened, but then there was always was the odd chance. Yes, I'm sure there were the "selfish" ones, but not as many I don't think.... And todays thread about the mass "kidnappings" to ship to all points of the Globe.??? If you were in this situation what would you feel? Lost, hurt, anger, betrayed....or if your parent showed up on your door step 30 + yrs later, and said "Hi, I'm your parent"? Boggles the mind. Now today we have, the "Dump your baby" free drop points at hospitals and fire & Police stations....these young kids don't have to even give a name, just leave the "bundle" and flee the scene, nobody even knows...we sure have become a "Throw away society that's for sure. Don't our children deserve better? ~Linda~ Friends are stitched together by patches of memories.

Hi everyone, I wrote before when this group first started but I thought I would try again. The idea of chasing the collateral lines is something I would love to do but have no idea who my ggrandmother's sibs were. This is all I have: Margaret WALSH, b. Canada 1852 emigrated to Olphant, PA in 1864 (according to census) married Charles O'MALLEY sometime in the early 1870's. No marriage info to be found. 1880 census she and Charles had 3 children: William, Anna and Margaret Charles dies in 1885. On Margaret's death certificate it says her father was Patrick WALSH, mother unknown. I have looked all over Ontario but so far have not found her birth place. Family story says that she was from Prescott, Grenville County but I cannot find a Patrick there with a daughter Margaret. Of course that could be wrong, Patrick being her father. Just wonder if anyone has any ideas on what I could do next or if anyone is searching the WALSH family. Thanks for any help you could give me. Regards, Toni Southern Tier NYS

Yesterday through another site i was given this site http://www.livgenmi.com/1895/ It was interesting to finally see exactly where my ancestors lived in Maine and New Hampshire. My gr grandmother Amanda Crockett was born in Mechanic Falls ME and married my gr grandfather Arthur McDonald from Wakefield. I wanted to see how close the two cities were. The maps are for 1895 and it also has a link you can look up the cities with population. It says in 1895 that Wakefield had a population of 100. If my gr grandfather had 13 children and they stayed in the area and my grandfather had somewhere around 10 I think, does that mean most of that 100 was my family? They had a post office, railroad and express office. I don't know what an express office was. -- Cindyp http://grammiesbears.com http://teambeachbody.com/cindylu http://OurGV.com/cynthiaphillips <http://ourgv.com/cynthiaphillips> http://shaklee.net/naturalngreen

Personally, for me going sideways is trying to trace the line when I cannot find anything on my direct ancestor but know the name and approximate age of a sibling.  By tracing the sigling I've often found the direct line again.  Hope this helps.   Ginny --- On Tue, 9/16/08, Lisa Lepore <[email protected]> wrote: I think it's banging your head against the wall instead of on the table.

and my mother and aunt were reluctant to talk about my father. But a half brother 14 years younger than me found me last year and thru his mother (my stepmother) who is only 10 yrs older than me i have pictures of my father and the 2 half brothers, fouond out he was married 4 times and had a daughter with the last wife, found out how he died and that even tho he never got in touch with me he carried my picture with him. We know where the half sister is but she won't talk to us neither will her mother. And this is the wife he was with when he died. So what's the harm after all these years. but still I know so much more than i did. I have court documents on the marriages and divorces now.

A lot of times you may want to find out information about brothers and sisters, and half brothers and sisters but other family members don't. Remember to respect the other members while you are researching. My husband and his brothers were placed in Foster Care when he was 3 years old. Their father had left their mother and remarried and has three more boys. Their mother passed away. My husbands brothers have been in contact with their father, and have met their half brothers, my husband has not. He has no desire to meet these people, he says as far as he is concerned his father died when he was 3. I am researching the family to help my brother-in-laws - but I don't discuss it with my husband and I don't tell him what I've found, because quite frankly he doesn't care and I respect his right not to care. -----Original Message----- From: Cynthia Phillips [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2008 8:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Finding Out About Siblings of Ancestors and my mother and aunt were reluctant to talk about my father.

Hello, I have always had an interest in finding out about the siblings of an ancestor. It goes along with what was going on in the world - or in their town - when the ancestor was living. I don't need to find out everything about the sibling, but it would be nice to find out who they married and how many children they had. After all those children would be my ancestor's nephews and nieces. And, my "wish" - as someone else said - is that the descendants of those nephews and nieces might have more information on my ancestor than I do. And I'd like to mention half-siblings. My grandmother eloped at Age 17, probably because she was pregnant. She lost that baby, and then a 2nd baby, and then had a daughter and 2 sons. The first husband and she divorced in 1935, and she was already pregnant with the man who would be her 2nd husband. She then had her 2nd daughter and another son. This aunt and uncle are only about 8-9 years older than I am. The reason I'm mentioning this is that this aunt knew her mother much more than I did. My father did not get along with his parents, so we didn't visit all that much. And, my aunt knew her mother's mother more than I did. So she can tell me lots of stories about her mother and grandmother, and I would never have heard them. Part of what I am saying is that there are more than 4-5 children in a family, and they are spread apart in ages, the younger children in the family knew the parents much longer than their oldest sibling - in some cases. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator (My aunt lost all 4 of her siblings during the 1990's. Her younger brother "dropped dead" at Age 60. He didn't like to go to doctors. An autopsy showed he had undiagnosed heart disease, undiagnosed lung disease, and undiagnosed cancer at the time of his death. My aunt is relatively healthy.) (This is another case of "life-threatening diseases" coming down from the KIDDER / WILKINS ancestors near Calais, Maine. Or, as I was advised several years ago, my parents and their siblings inherited "weak immune systems" from their ancestors.)

I think it's banging your head against the wall instead of on the table.

Yes Stan, it means following collateral lines. When typing that could not think of the word collateral so used the term going sideways. Following collateral lines often gives clues to family mysteries in that a sibling in a family kept closer contact with a cousin's family etc. and can shed light on them. My example is one of my Dad's maternal cousin's daughter knowing about a burial of a child that I had been searching for a couple of years. Met this cousin at a family reunion in July and she had this info. Imagine, had probably stood right next to the grave when taking photos, but missed it because a slight family scandal was attached. The child was buried under her stepfather's name. As the mother and stepfather and her half siblings are all buried in another Province, would never have found her if not for looking at collateral lines.

While looking for something else, stumbled onto this site. It is interesting to note that the last Home Children were sent to Australia in 1967! Had no idea the program existed after the 1940's. For anyone interested in how children were used, this timeline is worth a look. It would appear that some children were kidnapped in the 1600's and shipped to the colonies in N. America. http://www.goldonian.org/barnardo/child_migrationl.htm Lauraine
