Their children include: Thomas, John, Phillip, Peter, Francis and Gregory. In 1851 they were on the Hibbert, Perth, Ontario, census. I'm trying to figure out if they were related in some way to Hugh, Arthur, John,and Patrick McCann who were also in the 1851 census in Hibbert.

Their parents were born in Ireland. John McCann, born 1826, married Catherine Delaney in Ontario. They had four sons: Peter, John, James, and Hugh. Peter married Sarah Nigh. James married Mary Ann Keough. I haven't found what happened to John or Hugh as yet. Peter and Sarah remained in Hibbert, ON until 1901 at least. James and Mary Ann were in Tuckersmith, Ontario, in 1891 and then were found in Ohio. John's (b. 1826) father was Arthur McCann, who eventually moved to North Dakota. Any info on the Peter (b. 1851) who married Sarah Nigh; or any further info on the James (b. 1854) who married Mary Ann Keough would be very very helpful!

Thanks for or query, Joni. All Ican tell you is that I was struck by the first names. Both Alexander and Grorge are unusual amongst irish Catholic families. The last trace of this family is in Dublin in the 1830's, they had something to do with the flour trade (father as a miller) but after 1840 they vanish completely. Any idea of where in Ireland your family came from ? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Anthony McCan" <antmccan@eircom.net> To: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com>; <mccann@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 27, 2012 10:06 AM Subject: Re: [McCANN] George Alexander McCann b 10/5/1854 in Canada. mKateSawyer 1878 > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> > To: <MCCANN-L@rootsweb.com> > Sent: Monday, March 26, 2012 6:26 PM > Subject: Re: [McCANN] George Alexander McCann b 10/5/1854 in Canada. m > KateSawyer 1878 > > >> This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. >> >> Author: JoniRabena >> Surnames: McCann >> Classification: queries >> >> Message Board URL: >> >> http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.mccann/814.1/mb.ashx >> >> Message Board Post: >> >> Hi, >> >> Is this man in any way related to the Hugh - Arthur, John, Patrick McCann >> family that settled in Hibbert, Perth South, Ontario, Canada area? >> >> If so, then I would be extremely interested as I am helping a friend >> research his McCann roots. >> >> Thanks, >> >> Joni >> >> Important Note: >> The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

(1) Arthur and Catherine's children include: Thomas, Hugh, Mary, Patrick, Catherine, Ann Jane, Johannah, John W., Joseph Arthur, Michael, Thomas and Theresa. Arthur and Catherine moved to Lisbon, North Dakota around 1885. Arthur died in 1896. Catherine was in the 1910 census with her son, John, and her daughter, Mary, in Greenville, La Moure, North Dakota. I have a lot of information on this family. (2) John married a Catherine Unknown. Their children include: Peter, b. 1851; John, b. 1852; James, b. 1854; and Hugh, b. 1856. (2) John died in Hibbert, South Perth, Ontario in 1883. Catherine was on the 1911 Canadian Census at age 80 in Seaforth, Huron South, Ontario. I don't believe they ever lived in North Dakota. Their son, Peter, married a Sarah Unknown. They had at least one daughter, Mary (1891). Their son, James, married a Mary Ann Unknown and had at least one child, John James (1891) in Ontario. I haven't been able to track John and Hugh. (3) Patrick - I have not been able to trace. I'm hoping perhaps that the above John and Patrick had descendants that remained in Canada. I live in Calgary, AB, and I know that some of (1) Arthur's descendants died in Lethbridge, Alberta. If anyone is interested in this, please contact me.

I too am very interested in the NA aspect of the McCanns. One of my multiple great grandmothers was Anne McCann b ca 1793 South Carolina m a Milam (not looking at tree, can't remember which one, possibly Samuel). I have found a picture of their daughter Mahulda Jane Milam (she married Wiley Patton).There is no doubt from her picture of the Native American heritage. She looks Choctaw! I am writing you hoping to correspond and see if my tree may tie in with yours..at this juncture I believe Anne's father to be James, considering Anne named their first son James. Mahulda and Wiley ended up in Arkansas. That branch of Milams settled in Northern Arkansas fairly close to old Shawnee Town, now known as Yellville. I don't think this by accident, and I do not believe in coincidence. I do hope to hear from you or someone who may have pertinent info.If one prefers email to p! ost my email is grcleve@aol.com.Glenna Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

In preparation, the National Archives has announced with their partner Archives.com a new website called 1940 census. At the moment, the website contains no data. There is, however, an interesting video that discusses how the National Archives has digitized the 1940 census, which you can watch below. The actual census results will be released at 9am EST on the morning of 2 April. Access is free.

Birth certificates will now be made available to the public 105 years after issuance and death certificates will be made available 50 years after issuance. Thus, birth certificates up to 1906 and death certificates up to 1961 are now available.

This searchable collection has some 1 million records. It lists eligible voters by county. These lists were created every other year for most California counties. The records span the time period from 1866 to 1910 (it varies somewhat by county). This is a great collection to use if you want to trace the movement of your California ancestors between censuses. We suggest you read the article Searching Electoral Rolls for Ancestors <http://www.genealogyintime.com/GenealogyResources/Articles/searching-electoral-rolls-for-ancestors-page-1.html> to get the most out of this collection. California voting registers provide a considerable amount of information that would be valuable to a genealogist. This is because much of the information that was collected in the voter registration was done to help counteract fraud (in particular to prevent someone else from impersonating a voter). In addition to providing the name and address of the voter, the California voting register also gives the age, business/occupation, height, visible marks or scars (and their location), disabilities, country or state of birth, date of naturalization, date of registration to vote, ability to read English and the ability to write name.

This allows for more precise full-text search for any word in the database. Most of the records on the Irish National Archives website cover records from various Irish government departments from the twentieth century.
