Interesting! In my tree, I have the Irish going to Kingston, then Cleveland, and, aside from that, I also have the surname Keyse (rather than Keyes) on my tree!

Hi Jean: I found several entries in our immigration lists for Canada. Do you have the names of your relatives on the Keyes side. The spelling is the same also. Any ideas when they were born or immigrated? -----Original Message----- From: Jean Lesny [SMTP:jmlesny@yahoo.com] Sent: Friday, October 01, 2004 7:14 AM To: OHCUYAHO-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [OHCUYAHO] Canadian Immigrants Hi all. How does one go about finding immigration information on people who came to Cleveland/Cuyahoga County from Canada? I have many relatives/ancestors who did so, but all I know about them was that they were "Canadian." I have no idea from where. Any help? (I've already searched U.S. Naturalization papers, and apparently my ancestors did not make petitions.)

My Irish relatives may have come from Limerick to Kingston, Ontario, Canada.....Keyes family. Isn't Canada part of the British Isles re immigration stuff? Not like Canada to USA... I also have Scottish relatives who arrived from Glasgow, Scotland through Quebec via train to Cleveland....McDonald/MacDonald family. Lynne

The one ancestor's last name was "Hughes". I think he was Welsh. The other was "Jarvis", and French. Of course I'm interested in finding more information about where they are from, but I'm very interested in finding any type of immigration records from the US/Canadian borders. Was immigration from Canada regulated? They they keep border crossing lists (like we have ship passenger lists for our ancestor who crossed the ocean.) What about those that drove a buggy or car?

Hi, I think we can begin by asking were they French or English? That answer will give us a small clue. When did they come and where did they settle? My grandparents came in 1910 and settled on the west side, eventually moving to Maple Heights. My family name is GRAVEREAU, obviously French...they had been living in Manitoba, St. Boniface, then Kenora, Ontario, they came eventually from Thunder Bay, which was called Fort William in those days. I know they crossed the border somewhere in Michigan, I can look back and check that out for sure.

The Great Lakes Chapter of the Association of Professional Genealogists is sponsoring an Advanced Genealogy Discussion Group. The next meeting is on Saturday, October 9, 2004. The purpose of the group is to discuss advanced genealogical methodology as presented in case studies that have appeared in various scholarly genealogical publications. The group meets the second Saturday of the month, starting at 10:00 am, at the Medina County District Library annex meeting room in September, October and November of 2004. The library is located at 210 South Broadway St., Medina, OH. The meetings last about one and one-half hours. There will be no meetings in July, August, or December. The discussions are free but pre-registration is required. Any experienced genealogical researcher is welcome to attend. As a pre-requisite, participants should be familiar with Dr. William M. Litchman's article, "Teaching Analysis, Logic, and the Research Process: A Seminar Approach", from the NGS News Magazine, Nov/Dec 2000, pages 340-343. Each participant is requested to read several times, in advance of the meeting, the article to be discussed at the meeting. The article chosen for the October 9, 2004 discussion appeared in the National Genealogical Society Quarterly, Vol. 92, no.1, March 2004. It is titled "A Detour from the Conventional: The Search for the Parents of Margaret Murray Goheen," beginning on page 51. To register, or for any questions, contact Donna Gruber at djg@bright.net or call (419) 846-3533.

Some of my ancestors also came to Cleveland from Canada. However, it was just a short visit in Canada--Kingston, Ontario--before which they had arrived from Ireland.

Was wondering if anyone has the 1960 East High Or East Tech year book and can look up a Richard A. Day. We don't know where my father graduated high school from, his military records say Vocational and his brother said it was either East High or East Tech. I have no idea where he went to elementary, middle or high school and I am trying to research this for a memorial service. All I know is he entered in the Navy in 1962. Btw, he grew up at E 126th and Buckeye if that helps. Any information will be of great help.. thanks Michelle A Day

I have just found that an ancestor, Fred Neuhofer, was a teacher in Cleveland in 1880. Does someone know of a way to find out what school he taught at? Thanks!

In an antique store in Waynesville, OH I found an old cabinet card photo by a Berea, OH photographer. Written over the photo it says: Grandma Riddles The photo was found with a group of other photos of the Dunham family of Cuyahoga Co OH and Steuben Co IN. There was also an empty photo album that the photos were taken from with "Mrs Lorenzo Dunham" written in it. Mrs Lorenzo Dunham was Sarah Riddles. I think this could be a photo of Sarah (Nichols) Ford wife of William Riddles. She was born in Broome Co NY around 1822. In 1848 she married William Riddles (b. 1804 Kent Co England). They had the following children: Charles, Mary, Anna (married Pharoah Honess) and Edward Riddles. Sarah (Ford) Riddles died in 1894 and is buried in Monroe Street Cemetery, Cleveland. Her husband William Riddles died in 1886 and is buried there too. Sarah Riddles, the original owner of the photos, was the daughter of William Riddles and his first wife Ann. She was born 17 Sep 1839 in England and married Lorenzo Dunham in Cuyahoga Co OH before moving to Steuben Co IN. The lady in the photo would have been her step mother. I believe other children of William and Ann Riddles were William Riddles and Thomas Riddles (who may have married Julia Burgess). Although I have no proof, I believe William and Sarah (Ford) Riddles son Edward is really the Edwin James Riddles who married Ada Parker and Lena Jackson. According to his death cert, Edwin's father was William Riddles of England and his mother was born in NY. Also, in a bio for Anna (Riddles) Honess from 1920, it says her brother was living in Lorain OH where Edwin was living at the time. Joecan

I am trying to find an Ella/Ellen Callinan, who married a Wil? (William or Willard?) Schiffler (born June, 1866). They were living in Cleveland City, Cuyahoga Co., Ohio in 1900.
