Hi I have been researching my Walsh family from Low Point/Lingan area for sometime and have just made a needed breakthrough. I am looking for information about Mary Ann Walsh b. abt. June 1853 in either Lingan or Newfoundland. Possible parents: Patrick Walsh b. 1810 and Mary possibly Connors. She (ma)Thomas Petrie June 29, 1874 in Low Point. I am very excited about this discovery and wonder if you have any connection to the Walsh, Connors AND OR Petrie names in that area. If so I would love to hear from you.

Summer is the time for genealogy events and reunions. To keep up to date with what’s going on around in the Atlantic Provinces, I have created Atlantic Canada’s Genealogy Calendar. There, I will post genealogy-related events, society meetings and family reunions taking place throughout the year. Events must take place in one of the four Atlantic Provinces with one exception. If a family reunion is taking place elsewhere, but would be of interest to those living in Atlantic Canada, I will post it. Please, submit events, meetings and reunions off list to Diana Lynn Tibert: tibert@ns.sympatico.ca Include the date and place the event is taking place. Web addresses for additional information and contact information can be included, but is not necessary. Provide a short description of the event. To view current events, visit the web page: http://www.thefamilyattic.info/RCalendar.html Thanks, Diana Lynn Tibert The Family Attic, home to: Roots to the Past genealogy column (updated: May 17, 2007): http://www.thefamilyattic.info/Roots.html

It's funny, isn't it, how many people will claim that technology today has made us less "personal" in our interrelationships, yet as someone who began his newspaper career writing obituaries for the Charlotttown Guardian-Patriot more than 20 years ago, I've noticed how much more personal information is included in obituaries these days. Back in the 50s there was barely much more than a death notice, and sometime scant information beond a name of the decased, date of death and burial. Now someone's life story can be encapsulated in a few paragraphs, giving folks in the future a much better idea of the character of the deceased. That's thanks to an internet that allows transmission of prepared copy rather than back in my day, when it had to be taken over the phone, tyoed up, typset, proofread, etc.....damned technology woulda put me out of a job!

Fred, I searched the 1880 Census on FamilySearch for a William Stewart born Canada in Saginaw County MI and get no matches. Not do I find an Emma Stewart born MI in Saginaw County. The only Emma Stewart with HoH of William was single and in Genesee County What is the source of your information? Lewis marriage record as found on FS? Have you tried to find the william/Emma marriage record or William's obituary?

Hello Fred, I don't have those answers. http://www.familysearch.org/Eng/Search/frameset_search.asp?PAGE=census/search_census.asp In the 1881 Canadian Census, there are four William Stewarts in Nova Scotia Born about 1860 +/- 2 years, and in the 1880 USA Censusm there are four Williams Stewarts in Michigan born about 1860 +/- 2 years. Perhaps that may help narrow down the serach. If you could figure out what County in Nova Scotia, we could check the 1871 census results.
