The indexing of the images is a lengthy and detailed process and FamilySearch and their volunteers continue to make progress. We are still using the procedure set up in the spring (http://www.sec.state.ma.us/arc/spnot2.htm) for access and this will continue to be the process until we mount the database on our website, which should occur within the next year. We are looking forward to the new database and the increased ease of access to our vital records. We hope you are, too! As always, please forward any questions you might have to us. We hope you are enjoying the start of fall weather

Thanks to everyone who helped me with the Catholic records query. I just found out this family went to the US for a bit. Would somebody please look them up for me in the 1930 US census? Alexander McGILLIVRAY abt 1875 and his wife Elizabeth abt 1879. Their sons name was George A. born 1909 I thin they lived in Massachusetts. Thanks. Bill

I am trying to help a friend with her Catholic McGILLIVRAY family from Cape Breton. WOW is there tons of them. Anyway, does the archives in Halifax hold Catholic baptism records for 1878? Thanks. Bill

I am doing this for someone who does not belong to the mailing lists. She is   Looking to contact Linda (MacPherson) Lavigne, she has info for her   I am looking for my g-grandfather, whose name is William Robert MacPherson, born ca.1858 and died ca. 1929 at Hopewell, NB. He was married to Abigail Elisia Wilbur. She was born ca.1871 and died in 1961 at Hopewell, N.B. He (my g-grandfather) apparently lived around Wallace Bridge, N.S. because this is where my grandfather was born. My grandfathers name was Thomas Wilbur MacPherson born on July 22,1894 at Wallace Bridge, N. S. He was married to Stella May Lockhart on July 22, 1919 at Albert, N.B. As far as I can gather My g-grandfather had 10 children with his wife Abigail. They are: Thomas, Cecil, Aubrey, Clifford, Zelma, Mildred, Arthur, Cedric, Ernest and Myrtle. HELP!! Where was my g-grandfather from, etc.....Brother and/or sisters, etc... Please contact Roxanne Doll at roxanneDoll@shaw.ca

You can use http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/census-1901/index-e.html {Not indexed by name} and Automatedgenealogy to find the district name IE: Province: Nova Scotia District Name : Cape Breton Sub-District Number: M 2 (no dash) Schedule Number: 2 Plug those into the search page at collectionscanada.gc.ca and you will get a pdf for schedule 2, which doesn't contain much, by the way.

To see the full page you have to scroll down using the full screen vertical well as the pdf vertical scroll. As I remember looking at Schedule 2 for Lunenburg and Queens Counties, the Schedule 2 showed the date of enumeration, this does: 20 Apr ;details of the property like W 1-1/2/4, Wood, 1-1/2 story 4 room.plus if there was a barn etc; this just shows W. Page 3 Lines 3 -24 are on Boast Road, Glace Bay, enumerated 20 April. So #2 below is my granduncle. So now I ahve the actual enumeration date and at least the road they lived on. snip > On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 5:27 PM, bob gillis <robertgillis@verizon.net> > wrote: >> In McAlpine's directory 1907/8 in Glace Bay I find three Alexander >> Gillis >> >> 1. helper, h New Aberdeen 2. miner 34 Roost, New Aberdeen 3, miner >> h 129 dominion No 4 >> >> In the 1901 Census I find my granduncle and his wife >> >> in Glace Bay M-2 Page 3, enumerated 17 Apr by Nelson Nickerson L9 >> H21 F21 Gillis Alex M Head M Jan 20 1835 65 10 >> H21 F21 Gillis Christy F Wife M May 12 1838 62 >> >> I think he is not #1 but as he was 65 he could have been. >> >> I tried to find the people in the 1901 Census near Alex and Christy >> in McAlpine and in 1911 , I did not find any ; William or any >> Markell (appears to be so written but probably Marshall), John Sunderland, John George McNeill, >> Samuel Boutilier or Robert Nutter >> >> Did people/families move around frequently in those days >> >> How I can look at Schedule 2 by location, of the 1901 Census; I >> looked at on film in an FHC years ago but not Glace Bay.

How can I get it touch with someone in AG who can tell me my user name for the AG Forum? Most Forums have a Forgot User Name or Forgot Password but the AG Forum does not. I found th log in page but when I tried to log in I am told that my user name or password has expired; and then I find: The board is now closed to new memberships. 308211 is enough. How many of the 308211 have expired? I think many if not most of them. I suggested years ago to them that they have a location sort which they adopted. I have another suggestion: A check box to check all variations of the Surname Soundex. For instance in 1901 Gillis has about 20 variations. If I could select all I could quickly scan and find my person with the given name and location without having to check every variation. I gather Lindsey Patten is the person. I do not find him on Canada411.ca but with the propensity of people to have their .telephone name as L. Patten and not knowing his province he is almost impossible to locate. bob gillis

Friends, I have part of a document that I believe was written by Jennie Reid of Musquodoboit. It appears _not_ to be from her two volume set /Musquodoboit Pioneers/. The part that I have is a biographical sketch of the family and descendants of Alexander Stewart of Upper Musquodoboit.. I do not know where I got this and have not been able a copy of the original. Does anyone know of this document and where I might obtain a copy. Thanks, John

Hello Listers, Many thanks indeed to all who sent me so much information yesterday in response to my query aboutTranquil Morvan and his family. I now know much more about him and his parents, earlier marriages, and children. I'm still trying to find out what became of him and his third (?) wife, Elizabeth "Betsey" MacPherson, who married in Halifax in 1910. I think I might have found them at last on the 1911 census in Halifax, listed as Frank and Bessie Mervin (hard to read, but I think that's what it says). Still no death records, and they don't seem to show up in any later U.S. census records. Anyway, thanks again to so many who sent very detailed information, images of records, and so on. Greatly appreciated! George in P.E.I.

Tracing female ancestors. Cemeteries online have spousal duplicated photographs.

If you don't see a Community and its' cemeteries online...it means we have not photographed the cemeteries in that area.

George, Hope some of this proves useful: >From LDS website (familysearch.org) Found birth record for Basile Tranquille Morvan 01-Jan-1856, L'Ardoise, Richmond Co, NS, s/o Maurice Morvan and Susanne Martel, he was bapt/chr. there on 24-Jan-1856. He married Genevieve "Jane" Pate on 14-Jan-1881, at Holy Guardian Angels, L'Ardoise, Richmond Co, NS. (Parents were Maurice and Susan on this one) Genevieve and Tranquil had: Albert Walter Morvan, b. 19-Jul-1885, L'Ardoise, bapt. 20-Jul-1885, Holy Guardian Angels Elie Morvan, b. 18-Mar-1883, Bapt. 18-Mar-1883, Holy Guardian Angels Susanne Agnes Morvan, b. 15-Dec-1881, bapt. 19-Dec-1881, ditto Dominique Morvan, b. 02-Oct-1887, bapt. 03-Oct-1887, ditto 1891, L'Ardoise, "Tranquille Marvan", aged 34, Jane 32, Agnes 9, Elias, 8, William 6, and Domenic, 3. Now we follow the RIGHT one, methinks.... Tranquil married a Judith W. McDonald, perhaps in NS, maybe in MA? between 1891 and 1900, THEY had: 1) Thomas 07-Jul-1900, Sutton, MA, d. 16-Jul-1905, Sutton (Mauchaug/Manchaug) (on his birth record, Tranquil listed POB as "Cape Britton" and Judith's POB as ?Discourse?, NS. Thomas buried in St. Dennis Cemetery, East Douglas, MA, on 17-Ju-1905. 2) Phillipe, b. 14-Jul-1901, Sutton, MA. 3) Tranguel (note the "g" vs. "g") and Jean Jacques stillborn twins, b. 12-Jan-1903, Sutton, MA, d. 12-Jan-1903, in Sutton, MA. Tranquil listed his POB, again, as Cape Breton. Now, THIS is interesting, a death record for a THOMAS Marvan, at Manchaug, Sutton, MA, on 10-May-1907, but he was 34, b. NS, s/o Maurice Marvan and Susan "Martin". The informant was his wife (not named!!!). This would not appear to have been Tranquil, if only 34 in 1907 (b. @1873), but surely was a younger brother of his?!?!?!? In 1910, looks like Tranquil was in Willimantic, CT, residing 32 Stone Row, also on Stone Row, at #27, was a Walter Morvan (Albert Walter, his son by Genevieve b. 1885), but no sign of Judith, and not in the 1910 US Census for CT that I could find. Now, Tranquil was not only L'Ardoise Morvan to end up in Sutton. There was also a Pascal/Paschal Morvan who settled there... b. @1874, m. to Leda Boudreau/Beaudreau. And, a Pierre Morvan m. to Marie Latane or Labanc? All were in the Mauchaug or Manchaug village area. Manchaug is a pond in Sutton, MA. Morvan, Marvan, Mervan in terms of popular spelling usage order. 1900 US Census for Sutton, Worcester Co, MA: "Treaquil Morvan" b. Dec-1855, Canada, immigrated in 1897, wife Judith (Judith W. McDonald). They were married in 1898, Judith b. Nov-1861, Canada, immigrated 1896. Indicating they likely married in MA. Also in same house was Walter Morvan, b. Jun-1884, Canada, son of "Treaquil". But not any of the other children. No Judith in 1910 census, none of the kids, either. Looks likes Tranquil, Walter, and a Dominique Morvan were all in Willimantic, CT by 1906, all employees of W. C. M. Corp. Tranquil had house at 942 Main, and both Dominique and Walter boarded with him (sons). By 1907, all three resided at 32 Stone Row, with Tranquil as main resident and Walter and Dominique, again, listed as boarders. Elie also joined them but lived in different house. Did trace Elias/Elie/Eli to Maine, married to Louise and died there 28-Jun-1971 at Gardiner, Kennebec Co, ME. And, herein lies an interesting "rub". In the 1930 US Census for Eli and Louise (b. @1890, Canada) are listed two "parents" of Elias. His mother (step-mother anyway), Mary, b. @1851, Canada, immigrated 1916, and her husband, Frank "Marvin" b. @1855, Canada. Trank? maybe? "Frank" was first married at age 20, while Mary was first married at age 24. Given their age difference, one would presume they married each other in 1885. I'd say on the surface this is not a match, but when considering this is in Gardiner, ME in 1930, and Eli's death record shows his birthdate as 18-Mar-1883, there is no doubt in my mind this IS Eli, s/o Tranquil, who, perhaps, was using "Frank Marvin" as an Americanized name? Likely a son of Albert Walter's was George Morvan, b. 18-Aug-1919, d. May-1987, Kennebec Co, ME. Unless he was Elias' son, Simon or Albert by a middle name?!!?!?! Susanne Martel, born on 30 Oct 1827, L'Ardoise, NS; married Maurice Morvan, on 22 Jan 1855, L'Ardoise, NS; died on 24 Aug 1875, L'Ardoise, NS. Not sure if same family, but an Albert W. Morvan m. Josephine Dennis, Augusta, ME on 10-Oct-1942. Surely Albert W. Morvan b. 1886 Canada, was in Augusta in 1940 census, m. to Etta W. b. 1889, ME. According to the Martell family history, Maurice Morvan (1826-1910) m. Susanne Martell (1827-1875). Their son, Tranquille, b. 01-Jan-1856, m. Genevieve Perpetue "Jeanne" Pate, b. 1858, on 14-Jan-1881. They had: 1) Suzanne Agnes b. 1881 2) Elizabeth b. 1883 3) Albert Walter b. 1885 4) Dominique b. 02-Oct-1887 All births/marriages in L'Ardoise, but no death dates, no 2nd marriage to Judith or third marriage to your Elizabeth. Others of same name: There is an earlier man of same name, b. 12-Dec-1830, bapt. same church, parents Jean Morvan and Martine Mambourquet. Suspect related, but not sure how. He died 20-Jan-1848, aged 17, buried at Holy Guardian Angels. MAYBE related??? was a John T. Morven b. 1904, Canada, who by 1930/40 is also in Gardiner, ME. Well, that's about all I'm good for this morning. Hope some of this sheds some light on your "Tranquil".

Morning all, A man named Tranquil Morvan, born at Lardoise about 1860, son of Maurice and Susan (_____) Morvan, married, for his second wife, in Halifax on 24 January 1910, one of my relatives, Elizabeth "Betsey" MacPherson from Pictou County, but then of Halifax. She was born about 1864. I do not find the happy couple in the 1911 census, and there seems to be no death record for either of them in Nova Scotia. Casting a big net, I do not find them anywhere in Canada in 1911, or anywhere in the United States in 1910 or thereafter. The question is, what became of these two? I doubt they had any children, at their age, "but you never know." Also, I don't know who Tranquil's first wife was (can find no marriage record), or whether they had any children. Is there an alternate name for Tranquil that he might have been using? Any suggestions appreciated. Tranquil is a new name to me. George in P.E.I.
