Sherry, The initial family name appears to be DuPont or Dupont, but to find all index references to it you would need to check both that and Chambon, Du Chambon, and Duchambon, as the indexing methods vary, and the usage might vary from one generation to another. It is similar to George Gordon, Lord Byron, where family information might be found under Gordon or Byron. Écuyer is probably an indication of the occupation or position of the father, rather than part of the name. I don't think you would have a "dit" name for this one (nobility already had enough names to distinguish them). Cheers, Wayne Neily Peregrine Heritage Services, 562 Messenger Rd., Tremont, R.

I don't know if anyone else has had this probelm, but I figure the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I have sent the following to National Archives/Library Canada. If anyone else has had similar problems, and knows of some"fixes" I'd love to hear 'em! Jay Underwood Elmsdale Dear sir or madam: I have just spent a very unsatisfactory session on your website "Canadian Directories: Who was where" attempting to locate several names in Hutchinson's Directory of Nova Scotia 1866/67. This session was made immediately fruitless and exasperating by the inclusion of "nlc008157" in the search terms, which I did not place there, and which I can only suppose is the reason why so many pages turned up without any references to the names for which I was searching. For example, when I typed in "Myra"as a search term, I was given page 467 of the directory (Page 482) by your pagination) with absolutely no "Myra" listed. For "Gray, Lewis" I was given 21 pages to search , many of which were advertisement pages with no indication of either term on them. In all I was searcing for seven names, to find proof of their residency in Nova Scotia, and the vagaries of your search engine made it an unrewarding task. Do these problems arise from my computer, or some failing of your system that might be fixed?

I am trying to find out information on the parents of Henrietta Fraser, Jane Fraser, John Fraser, Alexander Fraser and James Fraser , all born in Upper Musquodoboit, Halifax County ,NS between 1800 and 1826. Any Assistance would be greatly appreciated Reg Booth

Hi everyone I have been trying for 3-4 years to find out who parents of William Cartile are. He was born 1781 and died 1857. He married Hannah Purcell Dec 5 1821 In Portuguese Cove NS. It was spelled on differently Cartile or Carteel on documents. I know there was a Peter Cartile hanged in 1749 for stabbing an English sailor and I am pretty sure they were related somehow. This is the info I have on him: Came to Canada with his brother. He was issued a pilots license to pilot Halifax Harbour and transported merchandise to Halifax. One brother stayed in Halifax and the other returned to France. Gubelino (William) Cartile and Agnes Honora Hutchinson were sponsors to Samuels daughter Anna Marie. Deeds to land they owned had to be cleared in Spain. They must have been stone quarry men, they first lived in a cave they made under the cliff on which his house stood overlooking the Northwest Arm. They had contracts with the government to supply granite blocks for building the Dalhousie University. The record I have for a Cartile in Halifax records is in 1821 when William Cartile married Hannah Purcell of Portuguese Cove. Samuel Purcell was Hannah's father and when that family bought the property which is now called Purcell's Cove, Samuel Purcell deeded a piece of the Purcell land in Portuguese Cove to Hannah and William Cartile, and to Hannah's brother, John. After Wm. Cartile's death Hannah moved to the Purcell's Cove area and she appeared in census records as Hannah Walsh. Hannah was born in Portuguese Cove. If anyone could help, I would be most appreciative Thank you Carrie

Hi Paul, I don't have a need for the photos. But, I grew up in Arlington which borders on Belmont, MA, where the current "McLean Hospital" is located. And I know there are people on the MA (US) Lists who are interested in it. (It's in Middlesex County and it borders on Cambridge, MA (just outside of Boston).) It has an interesting history: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLean_Hospital Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paul Harmon" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 01, 2010 1:13 PM Subject: [NS-L] Massachusetts > To anyone out there who is on the list from Massachusetts: > I have four old photographs of the McLean Hospital and Upham Buildings.

I found this obit while looking for others. Halifax Herald - Friday, 22 March 1946 - Page 8 - Thomas Edward Hanifan - Berwick - March 21 - Thomas Edward Hanifan, 71, a Rockland farmer, passed away Thursday, following six years illness. Born at Morden, Kings County, he was a son of the late Michael and May Connors Hanifan, and moved to Rockland at a young age, where he took active part in farming and community. He is survived by one brother, Michael, of Milbury, Mass., and four children, Mrs. Mary McPail, Rockland; Mrs. Edward Ogorman, Rockland; Thomas and Harry at home. Interment will be in the family lot at Kingston. Funeral services will be held from H.C. Lindsay's Funeral Home, Berwick, at 10 a.m., Saturday, conducted by Rev. Father H. Durney of St. Joseph's Parish, Kentville, with interment in the family lot at Kingston.

Would someone be so kind as to tell me how to enter this name into my family tree program?  There must be a (dit) somewhere....but where?                        Sieur Jean Baptiste L'Ange DuPont Chevalier DuChambon   (:-)~~Thanks, Sherry

Paul I would like to have the McLean Hospital photo that you have offered. I live about a mile from the presrnt swite and lived only several hundred yards from the original site that had been Star Fort not far from Bunker Hill. Thank you for your consideration.

There are 2 cemeteries in Kingston, one is Catholic - St. Mary's, and the other is Cataraqui (this is the largest). If anyone is wanting a picture of a particular grave site in these cemeteries, I am glad to help out Carrie

To anyone out there who is on the list from Massachusetts: I have four old photographs of the McLean Hospital and Upham Buildings. I found them in old photographs and would like to pass them along to someone from that area. I'll give them to the first email I open that wants them.

This means a photo of a stone which also has the spouse's maiden name showing, is duplicated and when one searches using the onboard search engine, for a surname, the spouse's surname will be reported as a separate "search result". * 2. If your "search engine" keyword is the same as a city, town, village, township then please read the valuable tips below: * A. *CONCERN:* If your "search engine" keyword you are using is say: pembrok* then your search will pick up all the pembroke surnames....*BUT* ...it will also pick up all the website pages where pembroke is used as a meta name. * B. *SOLUTION:* Change your keyword to pembrok1 and the search engine will only pick up the gravemarkers with the pembroke surname. * 3. If you don't see a Community and its' cemeteries online...it means a volunteer has not photographed and sent me the cemetery photographs. Can you or some of your family and friends help out by photographing the missing cemeteries....? * * All the best in 2010...Murray Pletsch * Cdn Gravemarker Gallery - http://www.gravemarkers.ca * Ontario Historic Gallery - http://www.rootsweb.com/~cannor *
