What started out as a simple quest by me to find info. about the maker of an old needlework sampler (Ann Young Sydney Dec 16th, 1849) has now turned into a new hobby or as my sister says an obsession with the family history. This sampler has been handed down in my family so I am researching the James Young and the John Young families of Lingan, NS. These families married into some of the other Irish families of Lingan, BURKE, CONNORS, PETRIE, LAFFIN, CATHCART, ROBERTS to name a few. I believe these two YOUNG families are related but haven't been able to confirm this fact and still have a lot of missing info. to find on their descendents who all seen to share the same names. If there is anyone else researching Lingan families and would be willing to share info, I would like to get an email from you. Thanks for reading. Anne M.
Hi Annie, I don't have John or James Young, but I have many families from around the Lingan area, including a John Young b. 1828 and a ton of Burke's from L'Ardoise and Lingan. They married into my Eksal's. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~podgursky/ or ask away.
