Hello all: Last night I watched a show that was on, I think, History International or History Channel about the Canadian Pacific Railroad. It was very interesting and I learned a lot about it and Canada's history. Part of the show featured the railroad's role in moving people across the then Provinces, and enticing immigrants to move west. I will try to find the exact name of the show as well as if or when it might be rebroadcast but I thought I'd give you all a heads up. There was some nice film and photos shown. Have a good one faye

Just wanted to slip in that there were a lot WHITTIERs up in Lubec, Maine. Good luck Joan Muller from Maine

Hello. Thank you to Marie and Lorine for your replies. Here are the references to Canada-Ir. Mary COLE's maiden name was SIMMONDS/SIMMONS/SEAMONS/SEAMEN. I was hoping to get a clue where to search next. <ha ha> If I traced their migration from Nova Scotia/New Brunswick through Ontario and on to Michigan, it would help. Her parents vacillate stating birthplaces as Nova Scotia and New Brunswick to even New York. Ugh!

Can you tell us exactly where it said "Canada-Ire"? Are you sure it was in the column for place of birth? What year was this census, and where? There are often locations for birth (Canada) and ethnic origin (Irish). Could that be what you saw? There is no such place as "Canada-Ire". You will see such notations as Canada-Eng which means Ontario, or another English speaking province; Canada-Fr which means Quebec or another French speaking province, CW for Canada West; UC for Upper Canada (present day Ontario) or LC for Lower Canada (present day Quebec). I know of no other notations other than the actual province name or abbreviation.

In response to your question on the census information, I believe that at one time I was told that when it stated "Can-Ire" it refereed to first the place they lived and the next their nationality and or language. Hope this helps. Marie (Garland) Frazier

Did you find reference to the Saxby Gale? See < http://www.palproductions.ca/saxbygale.html > for info.

That reminded me that I wanted to find out about Hurricanes which might have "hit" both the U.S. and Canada. I'm watching the Weather Channel right now and watching "Ike" come into Texas. I have found "timelines" to be helpful in my research, both for genealogy and history. I just tried to find a web site using the term, "hurricane timeline," and found this web site: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/A0001443.html It mentions "the Hurricane of Independence" in 1776 - which I have never heard about. It killed over 4000 people, and traveled from North Caroline to Nova Scotia. For people in New England, most of us have heard about the deadly "Hurricane of 1938." It "hit" us without warning and killed 600 people. I don't remember hearing about the hurricane in 1944 which killed almost 400 people, and almost 350 of them were "killed at sea." I was old enough to remember and experience the 2 hurricanes in 1954. This is a timeline about "Deadly Storms" - not necessarily hurricanes: http://www.deadlystorms.com/xtra/hurricane_timeline.htm Just an FYI for you. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator P.S. I'm having trouble finding a web page describing "a bad Gale in 1883." The few pages I'm finding mention the bad gales involving the United Kingdom (Great Britain).

Don't mean to offend you, but have to tell you I got a chuckle out of your message. So you got a "BOO" out of the graveyards?????

Thanks, Garth. Just thought I'd throw the question out there. You never know until you ask adage. The Irish did migrate to certain areas, one of which was Halton County. Thanks for your response. Donna -----Original Message----- From: Garth Hamilton [mailto:[email protected]] I am not sure what that indicates maybe born at sea between Canada and Ireland. Ire is short form fro Ireland. I do not see the connection to Halton County Ontario other than like many other counties in Ontario it received many Irish Immigrants in that year and adjacent years.

Any other ideas?
