Upper Canada, (present day Ontario), was created by the Constitutional Act of 1791, which divided the former Province of Quebec into two parts: Upper Canada and Lower Canada. These two provinces joined to form the Province of Canada in 1840 and were then referred to as Canada West (Upper Canada, or Ontario) and Canada East (Lower Canada, or Quebec). The terms "Upper Canada" and "Lower Canada" refer to the period between 1791 and 1840. Canada East & Canada West are between 1841 and 1867. Canada West ceased to exist as of 1867 but I imagine there were many who still used the name. Canada West would have been present day Southern Ontario... Comprising the area between the Province of Quebec and Windsor, Ontario (across from Detroit), and the area south of Algonquin Provincial Park and south of Lake Huron. At that time, Northern Ontario was part of the North West Territories. Many areas of Northern Ontario and Northern Quebec were still unofficially being called the North West Territories into the 1920's. My father was born in 1929 in Sudbury, Ontario and his birth certificate states that he was born in the North West Territories. My mother was born in the same hospital in 1931 and hers is Ontario. ----- Original Message ----- From: "bud" <bud@alliancecom.net> To: <NISHNAWBE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 21, 2005 5:17 AM Subject: Re: [NISHNAWBE] Canadian Roots > What province would Canada west be? anyone know?Thanks,Bud > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Larry F.

My sister called me the day this aired, the Joseph the woman is referring to here, was the son to Madeline and Joseph Laframboise of Mackinac Island. Madeline was my 6th great aunt. I have been trying to contact the show to get information or pictures, and they aren't helping at all. I even wrote them so I could buy a copy of the whole set of tapes they made in MN and just got their reply back today: Thanks for writing to shop.wgbh.org! At this time there are no plans to release the program you refer to on video or DVD. Antiques Roadshow no longer distributes their programs on VHS or DVD Thanks again for your inquiry and for your generous support of WGBH. Best regards, Your friends at shop.wgbh.org Did anyone possibly catch this show on tape? I am willing to pay for a copy of it if you did. Did anyone get pictures of this? I missed the show and didn't get to see it and am wanting to badly. I was lucky, as when the 97 year old man who owned Madeline's house had it for sale, he gave me a tour of it. This was prior to it becoming a bed and breakfast. When they turned it over to the B&B they destroyed it...I just wish I wouldn't have missed that show...Can anyone give a hand? Thanks...and thanks for the name and article RD...I didn't even have that much..

Current West in Canada is: Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, & British Columbia. What they were referring to in your story was West of the Maritimes. The Acadians originally lived in Eastern Canada (east of Quebec). As well Canada at this time stopped at the Ontario border it was the Métis in Manitoba that brought Manitoba into Confederation (Canada), the more western provinces followed later...

Elaine A good place to start is with posting the names, dates, locations, sibllings and any family stories that may go with these individuals. Records and locations vary a great deal depending on when and where. Even the time period makes a great difference. Ontario today, for the most part was upper Canada as was a good portion of Quebec. Before Upper and Lower Canada you had New France and Acadia. Some Acadians migrated west to the Quebec region and some people just settled in Quebec on arrival from the Old World. Many possibilities, many records and about 400 years to choose from. Never know! You may have relatives right on this list.

As far as I know the Library of Michigan carries them. I believe most large bookstores/newstands also will carry them - there are about a half dozen genealogical periodical out on the market which appear on the newstands.

Jim It seems we have few on the list with Acadian roots as nobody seems to put out any queries further east than SSM. In researching mine, I have come across Micmac and Inuit blood lines. Many family branches that seem to be a dead end may well be doing so because of First People blood lines. Anglicized names were taken and many times records of these were destroyed but there were many different records made and even in the attempts to wipe out these records, others still tell the story. My Acadian roots go back to all the first settlers. It is really an awesome branch of my family tree. As I research and read the histories, see who the areas and towns are named for, etc. - what a wonderful experience!

Carolyn Great find! It makes me feel so good to see more and more records getting out there. http://ioway.nativeweb.org/genealogy/genesources.htm has more lists as well. http://ioway.nativeweb.org/genealogy/surnames.htm this page you can associate your email with a surname search.

Hope some one finds it useful.
