quotes from F. Mowatt's 1998 book titled 'The Farfarers' page 336 & 337: (a) Caption between two photos of cairns, a close up and distant photo or perhaps the same scene...."Ancient beacons of unknown origin overlook the village of Cupids on Conception Bay, Newfoundland" (b) "Nothing seems to be known about the "cairns" origins, antiquity, or purpose. Local residents say they "have always been there." "Always" is a long time in Cupids, which is one of , if not the earliest of, the post-Columbian European settlements in North America, having been officially founded in 1610 by John Guy on behalf of the London and Bristol Society of Merchant Venturers. However, there is a persistant belief that a family by the name of Dawes homesteaded the cove as early as 1550." (c) page 425..."Because Cook was the first person to describe and chart Newfoundland's west coast I had already examined his journals, maps, and meticulously detailed notes. They told me that in 1766 when he surveyed the coast it had no permanent European inhabitants. Fishing vessels --mostly French -- worked the grounds seasonally, but seldom overwintered. Apart from such occasionals the only people Cook encountered were "a tribe of Indians" in St. George's Bay. Cook made no mention of having erected any cairns. If he had indeed gone to the considerable trouble of building two beacons big enough to be visible well to seaward, on top of a mountain seven airline miles from the shore (ten miles overland), surely he would have mentioned the fact. Although the first modern Europeans to settle at St. George's Bay, c. 1830, may have attributed the beacons to Cook. I could find no grounds for sharing that assumption." (d) page 427..."Ellis Parsons, eighty years of age, remembered working on the tower in 1953. He recalled that the remaining beacon stood eight or nine feet tall and had a circumference of at least ten feet. However, during the next few years it too was dismanteled to provide additional ballast. By the late 1950's both beacons had been reduced to the rubble heaps Len (Len Muise) and his cousin had used as forts." lghr notes: Some of us have seen historical records of early visits to NL by Sir Francis Russell Drake, Sir Bernard Drake and other British Admiralty mariners long before the famous Capt. Cook abt. 1760. Prior to Cook's time mariners were obsessed with finding a more reliable method for establishing one's longitude position on the high seas, when visibility was poor. I seem to recall that Capt. Cook was one of the persons intimately involved with this breakthrough in technology. Perhaps some of his notes about his efforts on the coast of NL was not for public knowledge at that time. Others have written about the 'secret voyage' of Sir Frances Drake to the Pacific Coast some 200 years before Cook arrived here. Just yesterday I listened to a voice, taped in 1977, of a Mr. Dawe who was born October 1885. He talked about his great grandparents who were perhaps born before 1799.

Does anyone know what parish(es) the towns of Chance Cove, Trinity Bay or Sunnyside, Trinity Bay were located within in the 1800s or earlier. I believe Chance Cove was New Harbour parish, however I am not sure about Sunnyside. I am primarily concerned about the Church of England religion, but I don't know what other religions were active in those towns at that time. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds. Michael Cooper

NL Nicknames......for Edward....and DAWE family tree... Many of us are aware of the nicknames used in NL records for persons with the christian name of Edward, for example �Ed�, �Eddie�, �Ned�, �Ted� and �Teddy�. I am wondering if anyone else has knowledge of or suspected that another nickname for Edward was simply �Ward�. All feedback on this subject is welcome. On a related topic, Yesterday I was given a copy of a 1976 compiled �family tree� of a Port de Grave, NL to Victoria, BC Dawe family line which originated with the birth of William Henry Dawe b. 1824 at Port de Grave. Before 1870 this Dawe line married into the surnames Butler, Farrell, Ralph, Mugford and Wells . The next generation married surnames Boone, Richards, Newell, Taylor, Wells, Snow and Andrews. For anyone connected to this tree, I would be pleased to answer questions relating to this record concerning persons born before 1900. I noted with interest at least two records where children carried, as a second christian name, the surname of their mother and elsewhere the unusual first names of Tryphena and Zipporah. Confirmation of the Dawe family connection to the Morgan family was given in a 1977 tape recorded interview with Mr. Dawe b.1885 of Country Road NL. Mr. Dawe also gave Morgan family information connected with the loss of the 'Excell' which occured just after the date of his birth in October 1885. ===== A three year hobby of researching Surnames (and variations) /ancestors, recorded in BNA before 1835.....*Batten *Beauchamp, *Beecham, *Bishop, Bucham, Buchan, Buchanan, Churchill, *Dawe, Fitzpatrick, *French, **Lamb, **Russell, *Roswell, Rowell, *Rousell, Snow, *Sparks, Tucker In-law surnames of interest include Earle, **Babcock, etc. (*Timeline Docs. on file for these surnames and a history of Bay Roberts CB and St. Mary's PB.

I don't know if anyone knows about this site, but there is an American company who has a truly massive collection of cemetery headstone photos available for purchase. The price is rather steep, but with many relatives in the same area, it can easily be worth it compared to the cost of travelling to Newfoundland and doing the work yourself. At the very least, it is worth checking out the site and bookmarking the page for future reference. Stonepics - http://www.stonepics.com Michael Cooper

This is a very long shot. However, does anyone know anything about the cemetery in Little Ridge, Trinity Bay? Maybe it has been transcribed, maybe it hasn't? A year or more ago, I was in touch with an individual who claimed to have transcribed the cemetery however I never had the chance to obtain the data from him/her and now I no longer have those emails (Windows normal routine of crashing). Perhaps someone else out there has that information they wouldn't mind sharing with me or better yet, posting to the NGB web site. Thanks to anyone who is able to respond. Michael Cooper

I am researching the Day family and am looking to obtain the baptism record (if it exists) for William Day. According to the 1921 census, William Day was born June 1862 in Old Shop (which would be in the parish of New Harbour, records beginning about 1862). I am going to send to the PANL to search for the record, but I thought I would try here first in case anyone else out there might have this person in their family tree. There are 3 expected fathers for this person: William, Charles, or John. I thank anyone who might respond to this request. BTW, thanks to all who responded to my earlier request about the Day family. I was able to solve a lengthly problem preventing progress with this branch of the family. Michael Cooper
