Jack, I just was reading the Quebec Digets Vo3 #113 & saw that you got a lady a census for 1687! Is there anyway possible that you or anyone you know that can do this do a look up for me?? I've been unsuccessful for over 3 years searching for a ggrandparents that was "said" by family members that gg John W. Shay was born around Quebec on 12-17-1847. On his marriage application it has Milltown, Canada as his "hometown". Unfortunately, no one has been able to find him or his parents. They are Joseph & Mary Shay. We don't know when his brothers William & Henry were born or where. John is also supposed to have 2 or 3 sisters, but again no trail. I would so dearly appreciate any help on this, as I just so frustrated in not finding a thing about this family! Appreciate it so much, Val
