HI Betty, Thanks for letting me know.  I only have my fifh great grandfather's paperwork which states born Ireland (no year) and then that he and wife Polly Knapp came from Rhode Island to VT.  I am suspicious that the part of Rhode Island used to be a part of DeepRiver, CT.  That's because I find Harriett HEFFLON in Old Saybrook, CT in 1852 land records.  Then in Old Lyme just heard of the Hefflon Farm Road and found out that the man who owned the farm was Arthur Hefflon a sller of fresh fish and he had a market there.  So I know that in that general area of CT. there are Hefflon's and just need to find the marriage record of Silas Hefflon and PollyKbnapp which I suspect may have come shortly after 1800 because there is no census of them together. Thanks to the list and all who have been helpful in suggestions and sites to look at. I am thining of writing Watham National Archives for any records they may have on Silas Hefflon or Polly Knapp. Harriet in New Hampshire presently on crutches and unable to drive for six to eight weeks. --- On Fri, 7/31/09, Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> wrote: From: Betty <bbffrrpp@comcast.net> Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Data Base for Cemeteries To: can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com Date: Friday, July 31, 2009, 6:39 AM Hi Harriett, Some information was just posted on the RI List  (US) about people from RI marrying in .. oops.. did they say MD or PA?

Hi Dave, You just reminded me of a story I could mention. When my father got out of the Army Air Corps after fighting in WW II, he got a job as an "appliance repairman" for a small, family-operated store. He would travel around to different cities and towns to repair the appliances in the people's homes. This would have been the late '40's and '50's. And it was not just a few times when he would go to someone's home to see what was wrong with the "fridge," only to discover that it was not plugged in ! The person had to pay for the "service call" anyways. (And my father also said that, when he had to drive down to Cape Cod for a service call during the summertime, the "lady of the house" was sometimes - not appropriately attired.) And, we vacationed in the log cabins at what we always called "Ashby State Park" for at least 10 years as children. And, there was the "ice box" on the front steps of the (authentic) log cabin. On the way from Arlington, MA, to Ashby, MA (one hour 1950's driving time), we had to stop in a nearby town to buy the "blocks of ice" - from an "ice store" - can't think of what it was called. I think it was actually in NH that we went. And, I think you just reminded me that the block of ice did go into the top, and we did have to empty the water later. (When we first started staying at those log cabins, there was no water or electricity in the cabin. When we arrived for the week's vacation, that night we had to walk up to the Ranger's Cabin with a few pails and containers to get water from their outside faucets. Later they brought water to the cabins and we got to use the "pump" in the kitchen.) Oh, speaking of State Parks (US), I learned a new word last night. I had picked up a Nashua, NH, newspaper yesterday (good comics for hubby), and there was a small article. It said that some of the State Parks in NH now have cabins and .. yurts ...! Because hubby is a big reader of books, he knew what they were. But, I had to learn that they are .. sort of .. cabins made of canvas walls. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator FYI: After my father moved his growing family from his grandmother's farmhouse to an old, abandoned house he bought, and we settled in, he started going to college -- nights ! The same year I graduated from high school, he graduated with an Assoc. Degree from college, and was able to stop being an appliance repairman. He began a career as a "technical writer." And he had already insisted that all of his children would --go-- to college. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Piercedav@aol.com> To: <can-usa-migration@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, July 30, 2009 6:22 AM Subject: [CAN-USA-MIG] foods in the 40s > > As a small child, we had two iceboxes which were actually > cooled by placing a chunk of ice into the top of the box and it > was one of my chores each morning to empty the water from the > pan in the bottom.

Hello, The MANUEL vs. MANWELL surnames are being discussed on a NH (US) Board / List. When I went to do a look-up I found a Joseph MANWELL listed as an adopted infant living with a young couple from Canada. I dod more look-ups in census records and found information which might help someone. I'd like to copy / paste my posting to the NH Lists - here: The MANUEL and MANWELL names are being discussed on the Hillsborough Co. Board. I went to see if the MANWELL name is found in census records for NH, and only found one before 1900. MANWELL, JOSEPH (1880 U.S. Census) NEW HAMPSHIRE , MERRIMACK, SUNCOOK Race: WHITE, Born: CANA Series: T9 Roll: 765 Page: 5 He is listed as the Adopted Infant living with his adoptive-parents. The handwriting is difficult, but the father looks like: Martell JOSETTA, 24. His wife, Anne, and he have a daughter, 2. The record says that she works in a cotton mill, but she probably is "home" at the moment. :o) (A closer look at the handwriting and there is a chance the infant's name is MAXWELL, but it looks more like MANWELL. Living on one side of them is a large family: Uzeb? VERVILLE (sp?). 34, and wife, Philomene, 42, and 8 children, 4 of the children work in the cotton mill, from Age 12 to 18. On the other side of them is another large family: Henry BRISSETTE, with wife and 9 children. 3 daughters and a son work in the cotton mill, but the oldest son works at a "brick works?" The 3 families mentioned all came down from Canada. Any chance that Anne JOSETTA is a daughter of one of the other couples? It looks like there was a large "cotton mill" in Suncook which attracted men from Canada. Well, here is another case where the Index for the census records is different than the information on the census pages. I went to see if there were other JOSETTA families in NH. This time the 1880 Index has the couple: Amos and Martele JOSETTA. But the handwriting looks more like Martell and Annie JOSETTA. :o( So, always check out - just the surname - during the 1800's, and look for the given-names, secondly. I checked to see if there were other VERVILLE families, and there were at least 2, large families living in Manchester - also working in a cotton mill. And, also in Suncook, another young couple, Napolean VERVILLE. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) (Regarding MANUEL and MANWELL, it reminds me of my grandmother's birth-name, Daisy WATROUS. I'm told that is a variation on WATERHOUSE. (She was adopted at Age 3 (MA) and had her name changed to Mary Anna Clark DEXTER. Long, complicated story in archives of MA Lists.) (Don't forget that the 1880 US census is available at www.familysearch.org )

Hi Dave, Welcome to the List. It is summertime and, as with most Lists, there is not as much activity. And many people are on vacation or on trips, etc. So, if you don't have too many responses right now, please post another query in another couple weeks. And, just as I remind others, don't forget to check the archives of the List for your surnames. The List is about 2 1/2 years old.

Hello list, My name is Dave Pierce, and I'm pleased to be able to be a part of this list. My mother was a french canadian from just over the border in Rock Island, Stanstead County, Quebec. I grew up in the section of Newport, Orleans County, Vermont called French Village and/or Catholic Hill. As I was growing up our family spent considerable time on both sides of the border, but now it is much more complicated to be able to travel either way. My primary research is for the surnames CHOQUETTE, DANIELS/DANNEAU, and BELOUIN . My PIERCE surname has mostly been in the Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Vermont areas . I am currently living in western Massachusetts, high atop a mountain overlooking the Connecticut River in the Pioneer Valley .

Hello, Someone on the GREENLAW List is searching for a family which left Scotland and went to Canada but soon went down to California. While searching for a place-name, "Barnes" in Scotland, just now, I came across this family-tree web site for the DAVIDSON name. It looks like a good web site and information on it might help someone: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~sunnyann/davidson.html Involves family which went from Scotland to the Province of Ontario. ** I can also remind you to check out all the other things which are available at the home page www.rootsweb.com For instance: http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~websites/ There are over 14,000 "web pages" here, and you can search by surname -- to see if some other researcher has created a (free) web site about a surname you are researching: http://freepages.rootsweb.ancestry.com/directory/genealogy.html Also, you can browse the web sites / pages which have been posted there -- to get an idea of the "possibilities" for yourself. FYI page: http://accounts.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ And, don't forget the WorldConnect Project: http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/ Even if you find an ancestor mentioned there, and the information isn't exactly correct, you can use the information as a "clue" to do more research on your own. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator FYI: I just searched the "FreePages" for HUTCHINSON and found one page which is "under construction." But, it shows that you can start up a "freepage" for your surnames and have it be a little simpler -- than the above DAVIDSON web site.

wellllll...our mother made ours with love too...but we hated it!

I don't think it was supposed to have water on the top! Perhaps being refrigerated when still cooling created the water to rise to the top. I actually really enjoyed Junket - it was always a treat, and made with love by my Mom.

yes, Junket was more of a pudding with water on the top...ugh!

I couldn't resist the jingle that popped into my head but Junket and Jello are different beasts - Junket was pudding-like custard, not a gelatin I just discovered that....

Junket was a rennet custard product and not really like Jello gelatin dessert.
