I'm looking for anyone that might have information to share about the Applin family from the Northern Pen. (Gooseberry Island, Flower's Cove, Shoal Cove). I am trying to figure out the early generations to determine how they link to my grandmother Emily nee Applin Gallant. Emily was the daughter of Thomas Henry Applin and Mary Pynn (parents unknown). They married in March 1900. Thomas died in 1905 in Anchor point. He might have been living nearby that area. He was 26 yrs old. Mary remarried John (Jack) Humber, son of William Humber and Mary Ann Genge. Thomas was the son of Joseph Applin and Jane Coombs. Joseph Applin had a brother named John who married Mary Ann Wells. They lived in Labrador before moving to NL. I have been researching this family for a while now and am hoping that someone has even the smallest tidbit to help me out.

REPLY: Nice to hear from you and here is the quote from the article mentioned above, good luck with your quest. As a 'Newfoundlander by birth and soul " I have derived much pleasure from this hobby and am thankful for having these photocopies from the year 1943 and echo the words of F.F.Jardine " I love and am deeply interested in every scrap and shred of this Colony's history. And I have a right to be." Sincerely, Lloyd "I think the Earles of Portugal Cove were relatives of the Pitts, because John Pitts, the elder of the Pitts of Bell Island fame, used to visit the Earles in Portugal Cove, and it was in Portugal Cove, John Pitts met his wife, Mrs. George Hiscock, the widow of George Hiscock, a planter of Portugal Cove, but an Englishman. As to John Earle or anybody else living on Bell Island before Gregory Normore came as first permanent settler is not correct. It is true that a brave Irishman, Patrick English, 1690, tried 3 times to make a home for himself on the south west side of Bell Island, a little below what is now called Lance Cove. He was driven off 3 times and then gave it up and later settled at Ochre Pit Cove. When Gregory Normore, who had married Ann White of Carbonear, became the first permanent settler on Bell Island Beach, to be followed by John Skane and John Bennett, there was not a vestige of any sign of any habitation before that, save the old fireplace of Patrick English. You can see traces of it today if you kick up the sod on the brow of the cliffside. Gregory Normore came to Bell Island in 1741, a Jerseyman. I think you did a real service by publishing this lecture of the Rev. Mr. Blackmore. I love and am deeply interested in every scrap and shred of this Colony's history. And I have a right to be. Though of immediate Scots descent on the Paternal side, on the distaff side I can trace back to Kirke's colony at Ferryland. John Kearney, my forbear was one of the brave colonists who came out with Sir David Kirke in 1658 or 1659, from Roscommon, Ireland." end quote --- Martha Hershenson <mhershenson@enc.k12.il.us> wrote: > I am interested in the Hiscock and Skane names mentioned below. > > My great great grandparents were Bridget "Skeins" born in > Newfoundland > 1819 and Edward Herring/Hearn also born Newfoundland in 1820. > Married > Catholic church in St. Johns in 1843.

I had the pleasure of visiting this home twice in one day on August 26th, 2003. As far as I know the Brett home was built for John and Julia Brett in the late 1800's and later owned by their son Charles and Mathilda Brett nee Boone. The inside of the house has all original furniture and the beautiful hooked rugs on display were awesome. It's a "must see" home for anyone visiting Fogo Island. It's culture and heritage at its finest in Joe Batts Arm! Maureen Thoms Boyd's Cove, NL Researching: HIGGINS, DONOGHUE, NEWMAN of Joe Batts Arm, Newfoundland

This may be slightly off-topic, but there's a new 8-part series from Britain called "Antiques Ghostshow" that started on Bravo last week. It runs on Sunday night at 8:00 p.m.(EDT) Sorry if you're seeing a duplicate copy of this email as I've sent it to a few Canadian lists I'm on. The programme features a psychic, an historian and a genealogist. In one segment of the first show, a fellow had brought in a model ship built by an ancestor in the late 1800s. The psychic "did his thing" and came up with all sorts of information on the ancestor. Then the historian and genealogist researched what the psychic had said and reported back with their findings. It was really quite fascinating! Oh to be able to hand over an ancestor's pocketbook that I have from the 1700s and get some help with my brick walls! Maybe if enough of us watch, the producers will come over and tap into *our* heirlooms. Sally

Greetings Bill, As you probably know by now, Country Path was once known as the main road leading from Mercer's Cove, Bay Roberts East into the Woods to the West. Today it extends from the old railway bed at the west end to the east accross the CB or Brigus Road, at an intersection beside Powell's supermarket, where the road continues to the east, and from that point the road is now called Water Street, Bay Roberts. Yesterday afternoon, at Victoria B.C., I was given a Studio photograph of a well dressed handsome man age abt. 25 yrs. The photo was made, I would guess, about 1900. The man b. 1918, who possessed the photo, suggested that it could be that of William 'Bill' Russell who accompanied his father from the Bay Roberts area to the West Coast in the late 1800's. Father Thomas worked with Bill Russell, for a short time, in the forestry industry of Northern Washington State, USA. Father Thomas returned to CB, NL for a period of time and regretted all his life that he lost contact with his 'good friend', Bill Russell. I am wondering if you have any suggestions about the possible identity of the photograph. Any response is appreciated.

Here the ancestors of the > aboriginal Inuit and Innu lived for thousands of years before Europeans > arrived. And it is here that the descendants of European settlers pursue a > unique rural coastal lifestyle learned from the native peoples. Change comes > slowly here, but change is coming. A road now connects L'Anse-au-Clair on > the Strait of Belle Isle with Cartwright 400 km north on Sandwich Bay. > > The ocean here is called Iceberg Alley. Every spring and summer thousands of > bergs, ranging in size from bergy bits the size of a car to mountains of ice > weighing millions of tonnes, traverse these waters before melting in warmer > waters southeast of Newfoundland. > > > Visitors travelling to coastal Labrador will visit old settlements and enjoy > rugged coastal scenery. Massive icebergs are a very common sight on this > journey. Here you will find a series of small, isolated communities where > you can see how European settlers adapted to a life based mainly on fishing > and, later, forestry. About a thousand years ago a Viking travelling to > Greenland from Iceland was blown off course and sighted, but did not land, > in what we now call Labrador. Later Viking explorers sailed along this > coast, noting the stands of timber and a long beach north of present-day > Cartwright they called the Wonderstrands. > > Labrador is just across the Strait of Belle Isle from Newfoundland's Great > Northern Peninsula. On a clear day it is visible across the 17.6 km-wide > channel that funnels the icy Labrador current into the Gulf of St. Lawrence. > Southern Labrador is the traditional home of the summer fishermen who first > travelled from the Island of Newfoundland to the lucrative fishing grounds > off its coast centuries ago. Today this area is inhabited by the descendants > of those first summer fishermen. This tour will introduce you to this > community of friendly, independent spirits and to a region that offers a > wilderness experience that you will never forget. > > > This Labrador tour begins on Newfoundland's Great Northern Peninsula, at the > Viking Trail community of St. Barbe, where you can take a 90-minute ferry > ride across the Strait of Belle Isle to the Labrador-Quebec boundary. During > the late spring and early summer, icebergs and floes drift southward to melt > in the warmer waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. These mountains of > floating ice originate in the high Arctic and Greenland and offer > spectacular photo opportunities as they drift past Newfoundland and > Labrador. > > Departing Blanc Sablon (Quebec), the western terminus of the ferry, take > Route 510 along the 80-km stretch of paved highway that connects the > communities along the southeastern coast of Labrador. The first community > you'll come to in Labrador is L'Anse-au-Clair, just 5 km from Blanc Sablon. > It was founded by the French in the early 1700s. While you are visiting this > scenic fishing outport, you can check out the local craft store. There's > also a restored early 20th century church which now serves as the regional > Visitor Information Centre. > > > Along the Forteau and Pinware Rivers during the months of July and August, > trout and salmon anglers should be prepared to meet their match on the many > pools, steadies and rattles. Trout anglers venturing on the far reaches of > the Forteau River, and indeed on any of the excellent angling areas in > Labrador, should bring a reliable insect repellent to discourage unwanted > company. A small provincial park at Pinware River is an ideal base for > exploring the entire area. > > At nearby L'Anse-Amour is a National Historic Site where archaeologists have > uncovered a burial mound that is the oldest known funeral monument in North > America. The Maritime Archaic people buried a 12-year-old boy here 7,500 > years ago. Aboriginal people lived here as early as 9,000 years ago when it > was on the edge of the retreating glaciers. A series of small campsites and > burial grounds is all that remains of these early relatives of Paleo-Indian > caribou hunters of northeastern North America. The descendants of these > early inhabitants of Southern Labrador later fished and hunted whales in the > Strait of Belle Isle. The numerous species of fish and seabirds along the > coast also supported later bands of Inuit (Eskimos) and even Newfoundland's > Beothuck Indians who made their homes here. > > > At Point Amour you'll find a 109-foot lighthouse, the second tallest in > Canada. Built in 1854-58 to aid navigation through the Strait of Belle Isle, > the interior has recently been refurbished, and exhibits and an > interpretation centre added. > > The first European settlers in the Straits came from England, the island of > Jersey, and Newfoundland, and in the mid-nineteenth century most arrivals > were from Dorset, Devon and Somerset. After that, settlers tended to be > Newfoundlanders moving north. > > L'Anse-au-Loup, Captstan Island and West St. Modeste are communities whose > ancestors first came as `livyers' (meaning, `I live here') from the Island > of Newfoundland to permanently settle in what were at first only temporary > summer fishing stations along the coast. > > > During the month of August, Forteau is the home of the annual Labrador > Straits Bakeapple Folk Festival. The event is named for the golden-coloured > berries, also called cloudberries, that grow in abundance along this coast. > They are considered by the locals to be a great delicacy. The four-day > festival has lots of berry picking, but the fun also includes baking > contests, traditional music, dance, song and storytelling. A variety of > distinct craft items are sold during the festival. They range from caribou > skin mittens and rug work to tapestries, carvings and colourful embroidered > clothing. > > At the end of the paved section of Route 510 is Red Bay, where the site of > one of the earliest industrial complexes in the New World - a Basque whaling > station - has been declared a National Historic Site. Archaeologists have > discovered several shipwrecks from the period of 1550- 1600 when this was > the world whaling capital, supplying Europe with oil for lamps and soap. > > > Archaeologists have uncovered an astounding number of tools and personal > effects that confirm European habitation of this coast during the 16th and > 17th centuries. Many of these are now conserved in the Interpretation > Centre. Self-guided tours of nearby Saddle Island, where the main station > was located, are available during the summer months. > > From Red Bay you can now drive north to Mary's Harbour, Port Hope Simpson, > Charlottetown and Cartwright, which is 323 km north of Red Bay. > > People who live in communities and were linked to the outside world only by > coastal boat, aircraft, snowmobile or ATV are now getting used to driving to > larger centres to shop, and are seeing more visitors, explorers who want to > see what is essentially virgin tourist territory. > > Battle Harbour was a fishing port as early as the 1750s, and was one of the > first European settlements along the coast. In the 19th and 20th centuries > it was a major centre for the floater fishery from Newfoundland, and in 1893 > Dr. Wilfred Grenfell had established his first Labrador hospital here. > > > Many of Battle Harbour's old commercial and public buildings survived the > fire, and in the 1990s a major restoration program helped preserve what is > the most intact fishery outport in the province. The modernization that > swept Newfoundland and Labrador in the decades after Confederation in 1949 > bypassed Battle Harbour and so left a priceless built heritage virtually > intact. You can reach Battle Harbour by boat from Mary's Harbour in summer, > and there are accommodations and tours available. > > Port Hope Simpson, a logging community and one of the newest towns in the > province, was founded only in 1934 when a sawmill was constructed to cut pit > props in the extensive forests near the town. People have fished near here > since the mid-1800s. Charlotteotwn evolved into a permanent settlement from > a collection of smaller coastal villages that had depended on fishing and > trapping. Around 1949 the current location was chosen because it had lots of > timber, fresh water and flat land for a future airstrip. The man who named > the town, Ben Powell, wanted it to become the capital of St. Michael's Bay > in the same way that Charlottetown became the capital of Prince Edward > Island. > > > You can also reach the Strait of Belle Isle area on the Quebec coastal > freighter that serves ports along the north shore of the St. Lawrence River > between Natashquan at the end of Quebec Route 138 and Blanc Sablon. This > boat calls at nine ports over a two-day period. > > Despite their isolation, most of these communities were settled two > centuries ago by fishermen from Newfoundland and Europe. Lodge Bay, for > instance, became a winter station for the fishermen of nearby Cape St. > Charles in the 18th century. Just up the coast is Mary's Harbour, which has > grown to a major centre this century. > > > Nearby Battle Harbour has been fished since at least 1759 and is one of the > oldest European settlements on the Labrador coast. In the nineteenth and > twentieth centuries it was a major centre for `floater' fishermen from > Newfoundland who sailed to Labrador to catch and salt cod in the summer. In > 1893 Dr. Wilfred Grenfell established his first hospital here to serve > people on the coast, and in 1905 the first lighthouse in Labrador was > constructed on nearby Double Island. The community declined following a > major fire in 1930 and was resettled in 1966 to nearby Mary's Harbour. Now a > summer fishing station, Battle Harbour has been restored to its 1800s form. > Some of the old buildings, such as an 1850s church, still stand, and summer > accommodations are available for travellers. > > Just north of Mary's Harbour the main road swings inland away from the coast > and through the wilderness, while a new road connecting St. Lewis, Route > 513. stretches 30 km to the east. Route 510 meets the coast again at Port > Hope Simpson, one of the newer communities in this area, in 2001.
