[email protected] I'm looking for information on a George Francis Pay, I can find no trace of him after the uk 1901 census, at that time he was in an Industrial School age13 with his brother Louis, we understand that he went to Canada, and are unable to find the name of the ship,to help track him down. His parents were Daniel Arthur Pay, and mother Emily, So if there is a family with the name Pay you may be able to solve it for us , Cheers Jack

There is nothing to indicate when Angus McBrayne immigrated to Canada, so I checked the 1841 census for Scotland and only one came up.

In it they list the type of records they have, and go into further detail with microfilm numbers. There is a list specific for Charlotte County, NB, where Grand Manan is located. You may go to your local library and request to borrow up to 3 microfilms from PANB. The service is usually free. and is called the Inter Library Loan (ILL) program.

Hi everyone, If you post a message on a Rootsweb Message Board your message will go to the Mailing List if the board and list are gatewayed. You DO NOT need to be a subscriber of the mail list for your message to go through. Right now none of the gateways are automatic because of the recent changes at Rootsweb. All Message Board posts have to be released to the Mailing List by the Mailing list Administrator. This will be the case until the mailing lists and message boards have undergone all the upgrades by Rootsweb. Because the admin now has to release the messages, you may find Message Board posts are not as quick to reach the mailing lists. Susan~List Admin

Can someone help to clarify that this is now a subscription site? I already have Ancestry.com..why another? Help!!! Hissing Lfelixthekat!!!!

To my knowledge RootsWeb/Ancestry have always kept a separate set of Boards from Genealogy.com. The Ancestry boards can be gatewayed to the RootsWeb lists if the names are identical however, the Genealogy.com boards are not gatewayed. RootsWeb/Ancestry is also administrated by volunteers while Genealogy.com is not administrated at all. The only way a RootsWeb/Ancestry board message would be deleted is if the person who wrote it deleted it or if the admin deleted it or perhaps moved it to a more appropriate board. If the admin did it then it was because it was either not appropriate to that particular board or it violate the board rules and was deleted. Any gatewayed messages to the mailing lists are a one-way enterprise. It appears on the list but if a list person wishes to respond they must go to the boards to do so. Once a message is gatewayed it DOES NOT get deleted from the message boards. Genealogy.com is SEPARATE from Ancestry as far as mailing lists and boards are concerned but they are run by the same company. I hope I cleared up your questions.
