Hi Shirley, I just Googled that book, and was reminded about Ruby Cusack's web site. That isn't mentioned on the Lists too often: http://www.rubycusack.com/issue294.html And, I am reminded about this "search of libraries" web site: http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0968164943 And, I am reminded about the existence of this Society. An event is being planned for September. http://www.nbgssj.ca/MeetingsPrograms.asp?mp=Prev The book is mentioned at Google Books, but it is not offered there. I didn't check HeritageQuest books. And, I'm finding out this year that there are now several more web sites where you can find "on-line books." I don't know if anyone has made a list of them. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) FYI: I've mentioned my KIDDER / WILKINS ancestors many times in the past. They lived along the Maine / New Brunswick border from the 1780's on, and even up to today. I think it was ~1860 when J. Calvin and Mary (WILKINS) KIDDER lost 2 children. Their 2nd son died within a year of his marriage, and then his wife died, and they lost a teen-age daughter around the same time. I have guessed that they were caught up in an epidemic. ----- Original Message ----- From: "S.

Betty... Thank you for these. I did find Ruby Cusack - and you're right - wonderful source. Other sources I have found: www.familysearch.org (at top) "Search Records" - "Historical Books" BYU Family History Archives - same records as above www.lib.byu.edu/digital "Family History" Shirley On Thu, Jun 18, 2009 at 4:02 AM, Betty <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi Shirley, > > I just Googled that book, and was reminded about Ruby Cusack's web site. > That isn't mentioned on the Lists too often: > > http://www.rubycusack.com/issue294.html > > And, I am reminded about this "search of libraries" web site: > > http://www.worldcat.org/isbn/0968164943 > > And, I am reminded about the existence of this Society.

Hi List, Would anyone happen to have the book, *Cholera deaths in Saint John and Portland, NB, 1854, *by Graeme Somerville? William GUIGGY of Marsh Bridge is on the 1854 Cholera list and am hoping that there is something further added about him. A Henry HARPER may also be there. Shirley

I would appreciate a lookup in the 1871 census. The name is Margaret Corly or Margaret Corley. She is in the 1881 census as the widowed head of household in the city of St John. I know a bit about those in the household in 1881 but do not know her husband's name or info or even when she died. Maryann

There is a word search function in the "Flip Books" option...the tab is at the right-hand side of the screen, but it doesn't always show clearly, depending on the size of the book, and sometimes will also include partial combinations (ie. if you were to search for the name "John" it would also pick out "Johnson" etc.) You can do a "Find" word search in the "Full text" option, but that option frequently causes my laptop to seize up, and doesn't always work effectively. I have found the best way is to download the entire PDF file, and use Adobe Reader's word search, then run the section you want through Paperport to produce a .doc file, and ditch the PDF file when you're finished with it. Alternatively, since the PDF files can be quite large, I burn those I may want to use again onto a CD, and take it off my hard drive. Jay Underwood Elmsdale. c . Now available from Railfare-DC Books!

Hi List, Thank you everyone for helping with my ongoing online book saga. Marilyn's instructions were great but I realized, for whatever reason, that there is no icon of the book next to the title so I can't open it. Most of the other book titles have icons... odd. Jay sent the archives.org. I got in straight away which is great - I was wondering if there is a word search?? Anyways, and everyone else's emails were also appreciated.

Dear Janet, I don't have anything on John Stevens' ancestors, but he died in Fredericton on August 2, 1859. One tidbit at a time? Lisa Z

Does any one have information on Captain John Stevens , b 1791 New Hampshire married Mary Elizabeth Ackerman. 1851 Census Wakefield ( from actual film) John Stevens b New Hampshire carpenter entered colony May 1812 - 60 Mary E Stevens 56 wife Mary Jane 22 John P 20 Mirion 18 Harry M 14 He appears to have died before the 1861 census. Thanks Janet

I am searching for the parents of Francoise Fournier who married Amable Chamberlain s/o Jean Baptiste and Ursule Doucet, 26 Aug 1844 at Bathurst The record shows her name as Francois and that her father was Jean Fournier of Petit Rocher. However, I have been told that Jean Fournier could not be her father, and was probably her uncle. Francoise would have been born about 1818 and there is a possibility that her parents could have been Jacques Fourner and Angelique Couture, who were married 17 Oct 1803 at St Henri de Levis, QC. Any help to clarify this problem would be most appreciated. Elenore Kamloops, B.C.

Shirley, Go to google and type in Curless in the search box. At the top of the screen you should have the option of Web, Images, Video, Maps, etc. Click on the more and the down arrow and choose book. About the 8th one down on the list is the book you are looking for Clicking on it brings the digitized version up with 2 different tabs.... By clicking on the 1st tab you get the full citation; the 2nd tab brings up the actual pages of the book. Alternately you can go to books.google.com and search strictly within the books. Marilyn S.

Hi... The NB archives site has today added 1914 births to their on line information. Please see http://archives.gnb.ca/Archives/default.aspx?culture=en-CA Heather Heather Leighton Waddingham Campobello Parish Coordinator http://www.rootsweb.com/~nbcampob/ My England and Canadian Roots http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=CDNROOTS

Hi List, If I am wrong on any of this, please correct me. It's about the Widow Matilda Jane (Seeley) Giggey and the Widow Matilda (Mantle) Giggey and which one was the 2nd wife of John LANE. I just received this record - which information I have seen on other people's research, as well. Fanjoy and Ward's book "The Seelys of New Brunswick" (1992). On p. 376, there is the following citation. "John Lane teamster b c1831 m 22 Nov 1853 Matilda Jane Seely b 13 Aug 1825. they res Queens Ward SJN She had m (1) 3 Nov 1846 Oscar F Giggey. Children of John and Matilda: Mary P Lane b 1856 William J Lane b 1862 Lewis W Lane b 1866" There is a problem, though, with Matilda Jane Seely's 2nd husband - Jane LANE. I believe that her 2nd husband was Charles Raymond BENSON - and the key is Sarah Clarenda Giggey - Matilda's daughter from 1st Marriage. 1.

Looking for the parents of Arthur Welsford Bustard born January 3, 1864 who married Mary Ann Bartlett. On the marriage record it lists his parents as John and Hannah but another source lists his mother's name as Margaret and father unknown. Could Hannah be a nickname for Margaret. Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thank you Sue
