Hi Michelle, Because of a technical problem, this response will not go to the List. * So, I'm writing directly. I can't answer your question specifically, but I might be able to offer information about my ancestors, and maybe there is a connection. In 1823, a family-group of KERR's and HENDERSON's left Co. Sligo, Ireland, and migrated to Canada. They had all been born there in the 1780-1805 timeframe, and some of them married there. They arrived and settled in the Province of Quebec. I'll mention their names below. The 4 couples and one single lady (who married in Canada) seem to have been all related. Plus, there was a Dawson KERR who initially settled in N.S. or N.B. and then a year or 2 later moved over to the other town in P.Q. Most people assume he was somehow related to them. The 5 couples all had many children and most survived. My gr-gr-grandparents were probably cousins and were born in P.Q. in 1827. When Robert and Elizabeth (HENDERSON) KERR had married and had their children, they moved to a different county in P.Q. There they found more KERR's, including another Robert KERR. If I'm remembering correctly, a DNA test last year showed that they were not related. But, also in that 1820's to 1840's time period, there was another set of KERR's who came and settled in P.Q. I can't think of the name of the town at this second, but it was in the middle of the Province. No one has found a connnection with them, either. All of these families are discussed on the 2 Quebec Lists (and Boards?). And my KERR's settled in Argenteuil County, and there is a List for township they settled in where there is a lot of information. Robert and Elizabeth moved down to Compton County, and then during 1870's and 1880's they and their adult children moved down to Massachusetts. That's all I'll say for now. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) Family: William and Mary (KERR) HENDERSON Samuel and Catherine (?) HENDERSON Patrick and Elizabeth (KERR?) KERR Miss Elizabeth KERR (marr. Levi MILLER) John and Ann (HENDERSON) KERR There is an on-line data base for their descendants, and many people research them. None of us can find out who their parents were back in Ireland.

Hi again, What a nice surprise - my posting went through. :o) It's been almost one year since R.W. has not allowed my postings from Comcast to go through. (It's a technical problem that "no one" can fix.) But every couple of mos. one of my postings "sneaks through."
