Thanks to all those who responded. I still can't find it on the Canadian Geographical look up site. http://geonames.nrcan.gc.ca/search/search_e.php I tried using a wild card and various combinations of St. George's Strange? Jeri
Evelyn, want you to know I am traveling with a briefcase full of you "tidbits" and have reserved time a one of the b & bs in St Johns you mentioned. Can't tell you how helpful all that info was and how time-saving for me. Thank you so much from all of us for all that transposing and especially from this displaced Newfoundlander headed up-home. My best, Diane in Va

Though there are alot of similarities! lol. I am living in Alberta Canada right now, but born in Newfoundland Canada. The John I am looking for likely was born early 1800's....somewhere around there.....I haven't looked much further in this since I posted here. I got both of your replies.... Interesting to know there is someone else out there with your name! :O) Take care, Tanya.

Greetings...I just spent a few minutes at your website....very interesting. The message below was this morning posted on NL Roots, daily mail. I noted the surname Waterbury of Conn. I think that Ebeneezer Waterbury was the watchmaker or founder of the Company in Conn. which later became the Timex Corp. Two years ago I photographed a Waterbury Clock now in the possession of one of my distant relatives in Newfoundland. He claims that the clock came to NL with his original Russell emmigrants, late 1700's, to Conception Bay, NL. Also of interest were the surnames Antill,(Antle) Babcock and Sheppard etc. Thanks for the website...Cheers, Lloyd LINK:http://www.royalprovincial.com/etc/links/families.htm Subject: Loyalist families who came from NE and BNA to settle in NL. To: NFLD-LAB-L@rootsweb.com CC: ngb_info@chebucto.ns.ca quote from 'Chronicle of Britian' published 1992 viewed at Victoria BC Public Library.... page 750...Sept. 3, 1783....."New France has accepted British rule because its laws, language and church are protected......Large numbers of loyalist refugees have settled in BNA and Newfoundland....The treaty provides that congress will "earnestly recommend" the states that they restore their property, but that is a vain hope." To: Listers who have identified ancestors born or married in NL before 1820----- First may I say thanks for the emails with words of appreciation in response to my latest postings concerning 1820 NL Captains and Canadian Chronicle. I now enlist your help in my attempt to identify NL Surnames which could be descended from Loyalist families who came to NL, as mentioned in the above quote. The remark below, from a recent email, prompted me to write this note. I was once told that, unlike other areas of Canada, NL History does not have a chapter on Loyalist families moving to our native land. Perhaps �family folklore� and more research will assist us in recording this missing chapter. Quote:"As an American citizen who has always been a devotee of American History....... It amazes me sometimes where information might come from. In the span of a few hours, I discovered not only that we had Blacks fighting during the Revolutionary War ( a fact I will venture to say almost every American probably never knew or was taught in history class) but that there was also an enormous Smallpox epidemic during the period of our Revolutionary War. (Another failure of the history teachers to mention) This epidemic effected the people in Canada, including Quebec and Nova Scotia, as well as devastated the Native American populations. I was wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this Smallpox epidemic and if it had reached Newfoundland?" Here are some clues, questions about your knowledge of grandparents or great grandparents, which might help to identify our Loyalist ancestors: #1. In addition to regular Church attendance, did they continue to practice a family ritual at home, including all family members, of daily prayer and Bible reading from both the old and new Testaments? #2. Were they born into families which belonged to the Episcopalian (aka Anglican and Church of England) Religion? #3. Did they have pictures of the British Royal Family displayed in their home? #4. Did they usually speak kindly of the ways and politics of England? #5. Were their ancestors engaged in the annual Migratory Fishery from the Island of Newfoundland to � the Labrador� before the year 1850? #6. Were ancestors in possession of heirlooms such as a Family Bible which was printed in USA before 1875 and recorded family births and marriages before the year 1799. I would be most pleased to add the surnames of those �who were possible Loyalists� to the list below.

I don't know who was placing the Cape Breton / NFLD obits to the list. The Cape Breton Post obits are back online at: http://www.capebretonpost.com A CB / NFLD obit from today is: Mildred Mary Griffin, 71, Sydney/Newfoundland - It is with deepest sorrow that we, the children of Mildred Griffin, wish to announce her passing at the Cape Breton Regional Hospital, Sydney, on August 29, 2003 at the age of 71. She passed peacefully into the hands of God with her daughter, Peggy Ann at her side. Born in Avondale, Nfld., she was the daughter of the late William John and Elizabeth Meaney. Mildred is survived by her daughter, Peggy Ann (Mark), Nova Scotia; sons, Glenn, Manitoba, Garry (Trisha), Manitoba; brothers, Aaron (Helen), California, Bill (Helen), California, Con of Newfoundland; sister, Tess, Newfoundland and granddaughter, Magan Allyn, Manitoba. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by brothers, Kevin and Jim; sisters, Helen, Mary Ellen, Bride and Margaret. Mom was a loving and devoted mother. She leaves us with her strength, will power, courage and love. She was an angel of sweetness and her accomplishments throughout her life as a juvenile diabetic should be an inspiration to others. Mom always put her children first. She is now our guardian angel, which is the greatest gift she could have left us.
