Hello, Someone on the MA (US) List is looking for information on the RICHELIEU surname. I did a quick look at census information, and found it is not a popular name, but the families which did live in New England came down from Canada. I only found a few mentions of the name for MA. One was about 2 young children in the 1880 census, seemingly living in an orphanage in Holyoke, MA. Later there was a family in New Bedford, MA, and with a different spelling in Fall River, MA (RICHILIEU). Just curious if there are other spellings of this surname which I'm not thinking of. I just checked www.familysearch.org and it's not a popular name there, either. And, the SSDI records have people with surname, seeming to die in specific states in the US, like the Dakotas and Minnesota, or CA or Colorado, or NY or FL, for example. (Not New England) Just an FYI for you. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) List Administrator

Hi all. Thought I'd pass on a resource that is a good short read. It is called "From Ontario to Michigan: The Migration To and Settlement of Canadians in The Great Lake State" by Richard J. Hathaway. This article is printed on pages 169 - 183 in Volume 18, Number 4, 1979, of the Ontario Genealogical Society publication called, "Families". ISSN 0030-2945. The article is copyrighted by the OGS. You could contact them regarding availability or maybe a library. The article describes the social and economical factors that prompted Canadians to migrate to Michigan in the early 1700s and onward. Donna Anyone else have any good resources regarding Canadians migrating to the USA? Most of mine came over about 1840-1870.

Hi Marie, Thank you for writing, and for the offer. I can make a quick comment. I always have trouble remembering the difference between the towns, Deer Isle, Maine, and Deer Island, New Brunswick. But, I've been active on the GREENLAW List this month and was reminded that they first arrived in 1750's and settled in Deer Isle, ME. And, my ancestor's brother, John KIDDER, left Calais, ME, with his 2nd wife and moved to Deer Island, NB (1881). ( I hope I've got it right this morning. ) :o) And, I just looked up the town you mentioned, as I had not heard of it. And, see that Beals is a very small town at the very bottom of Washington Co., and right on the coast. I took out my map of Maine and see it is right beside Jonesport, and both are south of Machias. And, I see that they are . just up the coastline . from the Bar Harbor area. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beals,_Maine John KIDDER's widow moved to Gouldsboro, ME, which is in Hancock Co., but not too far from Jonesport. (John "drowned at sea" in 1887 - somewhere!) I do have a problem with this family, actually a couple of them. One thing is that John had 2 children with his 2nd wife. His widow and those children moved to Gouldsboro ~1890??. The youngest son married and had "many" descendants. There was an annual "KIDDER family reunion" in Hancock Co. for ~50 years, ~1940 to ~1990 upon the death of the grandson, "Lewis" KIDDER. But, the youngest daughter is a mystery. She is a 16-yr-old in the 1900 census, and no one knows what happened to her. And the Gouldsoboro Town Clerk wanted ~$10 per hour research for looking for her in their records. :o( If you need KIDDER info, I have difficulty with female KIDDER's but with a name and a birth-year, I can try to find them. I don't think I have any of your surnames on my extended KIDDER / WILKINS family tree - along the ME/NB border.

Hi Betty, I have been thinking about writing for quite some time. It seems that we are doing a lot of searching in the same area but not for the same names/families. I would like very much to get back to the Washington County, ME and New Brunswick area for a week or two or more. My late mother-in-law was born on Beals, ME and after living, marrying, raising her family and becoming a widow in MA, she moved back and remarried there. We spent a lot of time in the summer visiting her there and after retiring we moved to Hancock County. I still have extended family there and really enjoy spending time in the area. I have searched several cemeteried and even taken the ferry from Eastport, ME to Deer Isle, New Brunswick at one time. Although I live in Vermont right now , I would like nothing better then to be back in "Downest" Maine. The names I have been researching are: Black, Butler, Beals, Seavey, Faulkingham, Alley, plus their associated families. The Black and Butler have been my brick walls for a number of years. I do have a Greenlaw that married a Faulkingham, and a couple of Kidder but nothing much more then just their names. If I can answer any questions you may have about the area, please ask away. Marie (in VT)

Hello, I just referred to an old posting of mine from 2005 so I could provide some information on a Maine List. I think I will post this tidbit of information here, in case it will help someone on this List. Hi Katherine. I have a "distant cousin" on my KIDDER family tree regarding ME / NB, who is the grandson of Clinton and Clara (McKIEL) KIDDER who married in Princeton, ME, in 1910. He recently told me that Clara was the daughter of John and Elizabeth (STOREY) McKIEL. John had been born in 1859 in Ludlow, NB. An FYI that the "distant cousin" I referred to passed unexpectedly ~2 yrs. ago, and his mother the same year. He was John GREENLAW, so he also researched that name. I'm told that his family is interested in his research. Clinton and Clara KIDDER had 4 or 5 sons and then a daughter, but Clinton died as a result of a Stroke just after the daughter was born. One son died young, and I don't know whether any of the other sons are still alive. I don't know any other information on John and Elizabeth McKIEL.

Then probably catch trains somehow to go through Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic (my great-grandmother Irma FRANZ was born in Bohemia, emigrated to USA with her parents and siblings as a four year old) then on to Hungary to see what we can find out about my father-in-law's Roma (surname MAGYAR) people, then back to the coast to catch the ferry to the UK where I would go to Ireland (COLE, KELLY, JOHNSTON, O'NEIL -- Australian connections), Isle of Skye (McDIARMID -- emigrated to canada), Scotland (CAMPBELL -- to canada) and Yorkshire (TADLOCK Farm is still there!) and also Southwark in London where Anne STEVENSON an Australian foremother was from, I'd also want to check out the Old Bailey, which played such a large part in sending my Australian forerunners here. And then I'd fly to the USA where I would go to South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, Mississippi, Georgia, New York, Mohawk valley, Niagara, Washington State (Yakima), and then nip across to Canada and go to Quebec, Ontario and Pentaguishne. I probably left out a few places :) Now that was a nice change of pace from my evening's work writing 600 plus words about nuts and bolts (big ones, like 3metres long bolts, used to hold down wind turbines), thanks for the inspiring topic. Best wishes to all Willow in Australia >

My Gramps told me of a distant cousin from TX who was visiting the Tadlock-Bourland connections in Yolo County Ca, who was out feeding the hogs and fell over, and was killed and eaten by the hogs. Hogs can be very dangerous if one isn't quick of wits AND feet Gramps said (he was a child when it happened) I didn;t want to ask him if those hogs were therefore never turned into food for anyone, but sincerely hope so. Most unusual death in my family I can think of aside from my own youngest brothers which I can't go into. Best wishes to everyone Willow in Australia

An very elderly lady I knew had her youngest brother die tragically when a load of logs he was hauling by horse and wagon shifted. Barely out of his teens, he was going downhill when a log slipped forward, crushing him. The horses bolted, breaking the lines and ran for home. You can imagine the dread felt by the family when the horses were seen thundering into the yard without a wagon or driver and the awful trepidation when they backtracked to the scene of the accident.

Hi Betty: There have been some unusual deaths in our family. With fishermen in Shetland, of course there were lots of drownings including my G.G. Grandfather Laurence SMITH. Recall an aunt by marriage losing her brother to drowning in Canada while on a fishing trip and had a lst cousin who was shot and killed by his best friend (murdered). Believe liquor was involved. A Great Uncle on my Mother side, Frank COOMBS was hit by a car dying in Oregon. Another G. Uncle Coombs had one or two of his children die in a house fire and supposedly one of his sisters drowned in the fountain of an asylum (no proof of this story). Luckily, there have not been a lot of accidental or violent deaths in the family, tho a number of ancestors died from consumption - TB. Lauraine
