1792...August 10, 1792...CANADA--"Paper money along the lines of that released by the US has begun circulation here. But while the Canada Banking Company has issued notes, it's an event that hasn't raised much interest, since the money is considered about as valuable as US continental dollars --that is, virtually worthless. Hard coin is still the only currency with real value." 1798...October 30, 1798..NL.."Gov. William Waldegrave reports that the pop. of NL-closing in on the 20,000 mark --is near starvation. The problem stems from the closure of the Spanish saltfish markets because of war. Portugal cannot absorb Spain's share, and the market is swamped with fish selling at a loss. Meanwhile, the war has caused food prices in NL to rise considerably. To add to the problem there has been a partial potato failure. To reduce prices, Waldegrave has ordered copper coins from Britain." 1799... February 2, 1799..PEI "St. John's Island received permission to change its name today. Its new appellation, Prince Edward Island, honors Edward, Duke of Kent, who has recently shown interest in the colony's affairs. The new name, some argue, is long overdue. As early as the 1780's, officials said that St. John's Island is too easily confused with other "St. John's" in the region. In 1780, Gov. Walter Patterson suggested "New Ireland" as an alternate name, but authorities in London refused this, and instead suggested "New Guernesy" or "New Angelsey". Finally, a compromise was reached in Prince Edward Island" 1802...NL.."The last penguin rookery in North America at Funk Island has been destroyed by humans. Jacques Cartier first killed great auks, or North American penguins, in 1534. From the 1700's on, English fishermen have slaughtered them for food and bait, and boiled them to make oil. Recently, Americans have killed thousands of penguins for their feathers, despite a 1794 colonial office ban against this practice. People also eat penguin eggs. Unfortunately for the friendly, 30-inch high bird, it is flightless and easy to kill." 1805....NL .."Much of the island has been inoculated against smallpox since Dr. John Clinch administered one of the first vaccinations in North America at Trinity Bay in 1798. Four years later, Clinch wrote: "I began by inoculating my own children and went on with this salutary work till I had inoculated 700 persons. Newfoundlanders can thank an old school buddy of Clinch's, Dr. Edward Jenner, who invented the vaccination in London. Jenner found that fluid from cows infected with cowpox prevented smallpox with injected in himans. He told Clinch about his findings, and sent him threads of vaccine." 1813...November..NL..."Merchants involved in the saltfish trade recently petitioned the British government to refuse the French and the Americans permission to fish on Newfoundland's coast. Since 1713, the French have been free to fish and dry their catch on part of the island's coast --the French shore. And until last year the Americans had an extensive fishery on the Labrador coast and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. But though Britain is at war with France and the US, many fear she will not cut these fishing rights." 1817....November 21, 1817...St. John's, NL " A combination of famine, frost and fire seems determined to destroy St. John's. The present depression began with the end of the last war and continued throughout 1816, when St. John's and the outports were in a state of starvation. This autumn the situation got worse, with gangs of unemployed, hungry men raming the streets, breaking into storehouses and threatening the lives and property of those better off. Now, a major fire has destroyed about 300 homes, rendering 2,000 people homeless." 1819....NL. "Harp seals would probably sound a collective whimper if they realized hunters in the Atlantic Ocean recently found their main whelping patch just 160 kilometers off Newfoundland's coast. Uncommonly open ice and huge ice-strengthened boats carrying up to 60 men helped make the discovery. The boats brought home almost 150,000 whitecoats, and the total year's harvest is 280,000 harp seals. Sealers have looked for this whelping patch since the 1770's. They knew only that the seals whelped on the ice north of Newfoundland." 1830...July 28, 1830..HEBRON, Labrador..."The Moravian church is increasing its services to the Inuit people of Labrador and has just opened its fourth mission in this small community on the coast. Jens Haven opened the first Moravian missionary post in 1771 at Nain, 190 kilometres to the south. Over the next 13 years, Haven established other posts on the coast. At these missions, dedicated to bringing the name of Jesus to the Inuit, the Moravians have built - or plan to build - churches, schools, hospitals, workshops and stores. The Inuit of Labrador are proud, independent people who live by hunting whales and other large sea mammals, and by fishing. Their reliance on their own devices appeals to the adherents of a religion like that ot the Moravian church. Moravians, who came from central Europe, maintain that theirs is the original Protestant church, in existance before Luther challenged the Catholic church. They believe in service and the need to spread the gospel of Jesus, and have opened branches of the church in Europe and mission posts abroad. The money for the opening of the mission in Labrador came from British branches of the church as part of their avowed support for the foreign mission program." 1832...August 22, 1832. St. John's NL..."After a campaign involving local merchants, aspiring St. John's politicans and Roman Catholics, Newfoundland has been granted representative government by Britain. While merchants look forward to dominating the new government, Roman Catholics hope to acquire their share of offices and positions under the new Catholic Emancipation Act. Representative government was opposed by the Governor, officials in the Newfoundland colonial service and British merchants. They all argued that, because of the lack of an educated middle class, Newfoundland was not ready for government by election". 1834...October 25, 1834, Cape Spear, NL. "This site, the most easterly point in NL and just a few kilometers from St. John's, has been chosen for the new lighthouse. Up until now, the only lighthouse marking the entrance to St. John's Harbour has been the one at Fort Amherst built in 1810. The Cape Spear light, which will burn whale or seal oil, will be about 60 metres above sea level and visible for a much greater distance." ===== Researching Surnames (and variations) /ancestors, in BNA before 1835.....*Batten *Beauchamp, *Beecham, *Bishop, Buchanan, Butler, Churchill, *Dawe, Fitzpatrick, *French, *Lamb, Morgan, *Russell, *Roswell, Rowell, *Rousell, Snow, *Sparks, Tucker .

1757...March 14, 1757..NL.."John Byng, the former governor of Nl, was executed before a firing squad today for 'negligence' in his dutis as admiral with the British Royal Navy. Byng's failure to attack French ships off the British-held island of Minorca and relieve British Fort St. Phillip led to his arrest and trial by court martial. He was executed on the Monarch at Portsmouth. In his three years a governor of NL from 1742-1745, Byng won local respect trying to stop a trade monopoly in St. John's. He also collected extensive statistical data on the fisheries and information on the living conditions of the local population." 1767....London..."All of St. John's Island (PEI), a French possession until it passed into British hands four years ago, was today assigned by lottery to a mere 100 lords, military officers, politicians, high-ranking civil servants, wealthy merchants and business adventurers. In his 1764-65 survey, Samuel Holland, surveyor general of Quebec, divided the island into 67 townships of about 20,000 acres apiece, and today's winners (some in partnerships) each got an entire township for nothing. Some of the lucky ones know King George III, and most are influential. They also share the view that their new holdings are either tomorrow's cash cow or today's speculative opportunity." 1769....London, England..."The king has granted 40,470 hectares of land on the rugged coast of Labrador to a group of missionaries who wish to establish Christian settlements among the northern Inuit. When the missions open , it will be the first time that Europeans have settled on the north coast of Labrador, and the first time that any North American Inuit have heard the Christian message from missionaries. The missionaries are members of the Moravian Bretheren from Germany. Active among the natives of Greenland for many years, the Moravians in Labrador are led by Jens Haven, a carpenter by trade. The 45 yr. old Haven has won the support of Newfoundland's governor, Sir Hugh Palliser, who hopes that the missionaries will befriend the Inuit and make it easier for the British to establish fishing and trading stations in Labrador. It was largely through the persuasion of Haven, who has visited Labrador, that the British government agreed to the grant." 1775....July 31, 1775..NL..." The British government is hoping legislation it recently passed will discourage settlement in Newfoundland and encourage English fishermen in nearby waters to return to Britain at the end of each fishing season. This is because NL is considered a vital 'nursery of seamen' that supplies trained deepwater sailors for British overseas shipping and the navy. The act comes into force January 1, 1776. People are calling the legislation Palliser's Act, since it includes several rules Sir Hugh Palliser enforced here when he was governor from 1764 to 1768. The number of British fishermen coming here then increased from 7,000 in 1764 to 12,000 in 1768, the total of resident fishermen fell from 10,000 to 7,000 and the number of seamen returning to the British Isles more than doubled from 5,562 to 11,811. By Palliser's Act, fishing captains will retain one-half of each employee's wages until his ship is home at the end of the season." 1775...December 31, 1775...Quebec City...."With Montreal already in their power, American rebel forces today attacked Quebec City during a pre-dawn blizzard. Leading them were Richard Montgomery, formerly of the British army, and Benedict Arnold, who had left Massachusetts with 1,100 men, and after a gruelling march, had reached Quebec with half of them still alive. The Americans wanted to get on with the bloodshed and complete their conquest of the colony. The defenders' champion was the unflappable, cautious, yet resourceful Gov. Guy Carlton, 51, who'd been wounded when the British captured the same fortress in 1759. Luckily for him, his meagre forces here were recently bolstered by some Highland soldiers, NEWFOUNDLAND FISHERMEN, crew off British ships, and both French and British-Canadian militia." 1778...June 22, 1778..Labrador.." There are six fewer polar bears in Labrador today. Entrepreneur George Cartwright and his comrades shot the animals on an expedition to Eagle River. Cartwright describes the day's slaughter as "the finest sport that man ever had" --though he recovered only a single bearskin........The bears were abundant here in Labrador, but in the Gulf of St. Lawrence have been hunted almost to extinction." 1778...Oct. 5, 1778.NL..." Recent fighting in and around NL has prompted Rear-Admiral John Montagu to strengthen local defences and oversee the capture of St. Pierre and Miquelon islands from France. The fighting has taken its toll on NL. An American privateer raided Placentia Bay in May and more recently a 22-gun privateer schooner caused great destruction on the coast of Labrador. Businesses operated by Noble and Pinsent and by George Cartwright have been destroyed. While missing the privateer, as ship Montagu sent to Labrador captured another vessel, averting more destruction." 1783....August...Shelburne, N.S. "Veterans of the Black Pioneers, an all-black regiment the British formed in the War of Independence, have arrived at Shelburne with permission to settle around the northwest end of the harbour. The ex-soldiers have arrived with some 1,500 blacks who sailed last month from New York as part of the massive British evacuation of loyalists and troops. Like other loyalsits, the Black Pioneers were promised free land, three years worth of rations, and other forms of aid to settle in British territory." 1784.....May 2, 1784 London, England....."By Order in Council, Britain today declared Cape Breton Island a colony. Until the conquest of New France a quarter-century ago, the island was a French possession for generations. It's been an official part of Nova Scotia for 21 years, but until this spring, Britain has shown no interest in seeing it settled. Cape Breton dozes. Prehaps 300 Acadians live there, and some 400 NEWFOUNDLANDERS, Irish and others use it as fishing headquarters. Today's decision amounts to London's recognition that, with hordes of LOYALIST refugees looking for places to settle, Cape Breton's time as a British colony has come at Last." 1790..June 15th...NL "The first fishermen believed to ever have travelled to the Arctic ice floes in search of seals have returned, their journey a huge success. The fishermen, who left Conception Bay this spring, discovered herds of these sea mammals and brought back valuable cargoes. Before, the only seals caught were those netted in small numbers near shore." 1791...July 31, 1791...NL.."The helter-skelter status of Newfoundland's justice system is about to be remedied. Legislation's been passed creating a Court of Civil Jurisdiction to determine "all pleas of debt, account, contracts respecting personal property, and all trespasses committed against the person or goods and chattels" in Newfoundland. Legal adviser John Reeves is the first chief justice. While fishing admirals, justices of the peace, naval surrogates, the governor and the vice-admiralty court all heard cases in Newfoundland before, recent decisions were overturned in Britain and governors were reluctant to issue rulings." ===== Researching Surnames (and variations) /ancestors, in BNA before 1835.....*Batten *Beauchamp, *Beecham, *Bishop, Buchanan, Butler, Churchill, *Dawe, Fitzpatrick, *French, *Lamb, Morgan, *Russell, *Roswell, Rowell, *Rousell, Snow, *Sparks, Tucker .

Hi Listers I came across a 1930 census page with several Newfoundlanders attending a "training college" in Esopus, Ulster Co., NY called "St. Mary's on the Hudson Novitiate". I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure this must be a Catholic school; someone correct me if I'm wrong! Here are the names, followed by age as of April 03, 1930; the ones I am listing were all born in NFLD, thier parents too, unless otherwise noted. They are all "pupils" unless otherwise noted. The date after the entry is the date of arrival in the USA. (All are aliens except Francis J. DEADY, World War I vetran, who was naturalized).

McCARTHY 25 1930 Benedict DUNNE 18 1928 Richard J. DANA 16 (born NY, father b. MA, mother b. NFLD) This college was on State Rd and was valued at $100,000. There were 8 teachers (one from NFLD) 5 servants, and 41 students; almost half of the students were Newfoundlanders. It appears it was operated by some RYANs from Ireland; the principal, superintendant and one teacher were all of that name, immigrating to the US from "Irish Free States" between 1905 and 1923.

Hi Barbara. I tried your personal e-mail but it came back let me know how to contact you Thanks Jim McCarthy

Thank you that have helped with my Bride question, once again the newfies come thru .

Just yesterday received the death certificate for my ggrandfather Gilbert PYNN and maiden name of mother shows "ELSA." All records prior to this one show Gilbert's parents to be Joseph PYNN and Delilah ROGERS. Comments, anyone???? Any and all comments welcome <grin> Celia Ewald

My 2nd request is on our " Royal/Ryall.." family...Our Henry Royal married an Elizabeth Jorden/Jordan , both in Carbonear....Oral family history has a miq'mak connection and I believe this is that connection. Somehow I think it's possible that this Elizabeth may have been miq'mik...There is only one reference of her that I can find so far and that is only her name at the church registry of their marriage...I'm wondering if her last name was anglicanized [ sp.?? ].....Are there common known miq'mak names that were changed to sound more English..... Was in fact ' Jorden/Jordan' a mik'mak name? Was Jeddore one of them?..Is there any common files on the mik'mak that may give me some leads?........Also, I've asked this question of others and can't seem to find an answer but 0n the church records transcribed on Nfld-GB site of Marriages at Heart's Content Rd, Victoria,...Several names have " mk" in brackets beside them.....Can anyone tell me what this means ?

Looking for some advise on 2 familes but I will write in separate e-mails... Fisrt - Batten's of Bareneed......Our Batten's apparently connect up with Isaac Batten and Elizabeth Dawe/Dore who came and bought land at Bareneed abt. 1816 and there they prospered...I say were supposedly connected but it seems I'm missing a generation!......Our Gr-grandfather was Joseph Batten , born Bareneed married to Emmeline Patience Richards , daughter of John Richards...I have it that Joseph was the son of the above Isaac and Elizabeth however the dates are way off and I don't think it's possible. So if we are connected to that Isaac and Elizabeth , what son of their's would be father to Joseph???? That would be the generation I'm missing.....Does anyone have any ideas on this particular Batten famil as there are so many from that area... Any ideas or advise would be well appreciated! Thaks Ann { MacDonald } Batten Alberta

Hi All I was wondering if any one knew an other name for "Bride" I believe it to be Bridget but I am not sure any help with this would be great . Kevin

Thank you to those that replied to my query on how to read this file. I printed out the directions for downloading it, followed them and then did a search for my surname PYNN. Found them but the information is not as full as I had hoped. I deleted it after my search because it takes up a LOT of space on the hard drive. Will look again at a later date. Celia

Try this. On the left hand side of the webpage there is a line 'download database'. Click on it and you'll get a window listing a link for detailed instructions for your operating system. Click on the one for your operating system and you'll get a link for the file 'stonepics.exe'. Click on this and the database will download. This is a self-extracting compressed file. Once it is downloaded, run the file and click 'unzip'. A directory called 'stonepics' with 6 files in it will be created on your C: drive. The file 'bignames.txt' contains the database and can be searched with any word processor. You can also search using the program 'dig.exe'. Directions for using it are on the web page. Good luck.

Over the past few years, I've seen emails from various people offerring to do lookups in newspapers and other sources for people using this list. Does anyone have access to documents that would allow them to look up a marriage that took place in 1898 or 1899; a birth that occured in 1899; and a death that would have occured in 1899-1901 (all three events happened in St. Johns)? Any help appreciated, Paul
