To me, cadence is the rhythm/speed of drums that are being marched to. (Kind of a backwards way of explaining it!) I'd heard of the name, Kay, but never had heard of KayDence. She is a beautiful, loving, charismatic child and is extra special to me because of the relationship, a VERY special bond, I see between her and her father, my favorite grandson. Probably makes a difference as I was there at his birth and could touch and love when he was just a moment old. Not that my other grandchildren aren't special to me, just that he is the first and I was there. I hadn't made the connection to her name with cadence/musical, thank you.

Can any of these issues be ordered or must they be accessed at Ontario libraries.? The reason I'm interested is that I believe there were only 6 Switzer families in what is now the Peel region. I have a great deal of Switzer info but have not been able to find the parents of Eliza Switzer who lived in Toronto Twp, Peel County when she was married to George Hanna by a Wesleyan Methodist minister in June of 1847. Would there also be land records for these Switzer families? One last question: would there have been a Wesleyan Methodist church there in 1847 or would the minister have been a circuit rider? I believe that these 6 Switzer families came from Ireland between 1824 and 1831. Thank you so much in advance.

Hi Susan: The border crossings don't start until 1895 and many people just crossed it wherever, not necessarily at a formal border crossing. The passenger lists for the most part are for incoming to Canada ships, not outgoing from Canada except where sometimes combined with a border crossing record to the US. I assume you know that headstones for some of your Fowler's are here: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~murrayp/muskoka/medora/carling/page0003.htm Why don't you contact the public libraries in the vicinity, ask if they have old newspapers on film, and see if they have an obit for Walter who died Jan 25, 1943, as it may mention his brother and sister. Just a thought. >From Ontario Genealogy Society OGSPI: *Muskoka Newspapers* Muskoka District has genealogical source material at: Huntsville Public Library <http://www.huntsvillelibrary.net/> Gravenhurst Public Library Bracebridge Public Library Each of these three town libraries has microfiche or microfilm copies of newspapers published in the town. As of Summer 1998 a volunteer project is taking shape to index newspapers ( births, marriages, obituaries ) at the 3 libraries. See this page: http://www.ogs.on.ca/ogspi/muskoka.htm#hpl So maybe there would be obits for Frances, sr. and wife Eliza, too? The contact info on the OGSPI site may be old so google each of the libraries to check Contact Us for them.

Often middle names seem to appear as used in lieu of the first Name. Was this common, possibly to avoid the use of junior?

FOWLER was 13 years old in the 1871 Census. By the time of the 1881 Census she would have been 23 years old - Perhaps married - or working and living elsewhere. Francis E FOWLER was 11 years old in 1871 Census. 21 in 1881. He may also not be living at home - working elsewhere. after 1881. Have you searched under Frank? Are there family letters -marriages for other children - that might mention Anna and Francis.? Obituaries for the parents ? Do you know what the middle name of Francis is.

There are five generations of "John Ambrose Jr." in my family. My grandfather used only the name "Ambrose Wilson" all his life, including on his gravestone. The one exception, and how I discovered his real name, was on the 1900 or 1910 census for Bay County, Michigan. Been too long since I looked at it and I don't remember for sure which year it was. Family names and abode were correct, so I know it is him. Another "current" example: my great-granddaughter is named KayDence. No one cares for the name so she is called Kady. (Pronounced ka-tie) I suspect that KayDence will be used for legal purposes only and she will be called Kady for the rest of her life. She's not quite age 2, so that's a long time . . . Can you imagine her descendants searching for records on her?!?!?!? <g> Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Stevens" <joycestevens@twmi.rr.com> To: <ontario@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, January 21, 2012 4:58 PM Subject: [ONTARIO] use of middle > Often middle names seem to appear as used in lieu of the first > Name.

The only person missing from the 1881 Canada Census in the Fowler family is Anna M. and as she would then have been in her 20's it is likely that she married. Also in the 1881 Canada Census is the addition of "Louie Jessie Fowler" aged 8 born in Ontario as was her sister Florence. All the others were born in England.

I don't have personal experience of this, but have heard that one can NOW order a microfilm electronically at the www.familysearch.org web page. Would be nice if we could read it the same way!!!

Hi Susan, Anna M. FOWLER was 13 years old in the 1871 Census. By the time of the 1881 Census she would have been 23 years old - Perhaps married - or working and living elsewhere. Francis E FOWLER was 11 years old in 1871 Census. 21 in 1881. He may also not be living at home - working elsewhere. after 1881. Have you searched under Frank? Are there family letters -marriages for other children - that might mention Anna and Francis.? Obituaries for the parents ? Do you know what the middle name of Francis is. He may have chosen to use that name as an adult. At 08:40 AM 21/01/2012, Susan Fowler wrote: >I have found my family in the 1871 census and then the 1881 census. >However 2 have gone missing.

yes! this should be the link between Richardson and Carr that I am seeking. many thanks. tried to find parents' obits with no luck so far!... This is the Dorothy Richardson Carr nursing grad from TWH 1932 and at the Reunion 1942 in THESTAR newspaper. Still not sure if this "DOROTHY" is mine yet...need her father's name, but the age is correct--"19" in 1932 would give a birth in 1913, and in the Sept 1932 date of the Ship's list; she could still be having a birthday in late 1913, as I would expect. I think MY Dorothy was born about Nov 1913 in Victoria BC any tips on what's next? thanks lIz On Jan 21, 2012, at 12:23 PM, Susan Fowler wrote: > I don't know about this? > > CARR, E.

Here it is, almost a year later, and still no 1917 entries in the Ontario marriages. My answer to Sher's question (see below) is as follows. I used to order microfilms before I got my Ancestry subscription. First, you order the index for the year you want (I think the charge is about $15 at our local FHC). After a considerable wait, the film comes in. I found that the call usually came just as I was about to go on vacation. The FHC is only open about one day a week, so it takes some time to find your entries. However, I would usually come away with a long list of possibilities. Then, it's back to ordering the actual register films, again at $15 each. Usually, nearly a year went by before getting one or two dates. I have even gone to Ontario specifically to research. You need at least 3 days - one to get there, one to research, and one to return home (I usually make it several days) Three tends to cost in the vicinity of $1000 for air fare and hotel stays. My sister and I went to Ontario in 2003 to try to take advantage of the somewhat reduced rates resulting from the Norwalk virus. In 2005, we were back to the United Church archives on the day that the Air France crash occurred at Toronto airport. That was only the second time in my life that the intensity of the rainstorm caused me to stop at the side of the road (The previous time was also in Ontario). I can only conclude that I could subscribe to Ancestry for the rest of my life (I expect 30 years, thank you) and never use it again and the cost of that subscription would not come close to what I have already saved in travel or film costs. -- Glen Johnson Sydney, Nova Scotia, Canada http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~wmjohnson1832 -----Original Message----- From: ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:ontario-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Sher Leetooze Sent: March 3, 2011 3:57 PM To: ontario@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] Ancestry - 1917 marriage reg's incorrectly indexed Hello All: Remember one thing when you run into errors - ancestry is there to make money, not spend it fixing errors.

That might "fit" MY Dorothy Richardson who was likely born in late 1913 in Victoria BC to William Richardson. I am trying to find the following: Archives of Toronto Western Hospital School of Nursing and marriage of Dorothy Richardson to unknown Carr around 1937-1942. Toronto Directories have her "nurse" likely single as "Richardson", in 1937 Directory. The definite "facts" are from THESTAR/pagesofthepast. Her marriage tho did not show up there. Also searched "deaths" for "Dorothy Carr" with no luck so far. I would appreciate your help, liz of BC *********** Ten People All Genealogists Should Follow On Twitter: http://www.geneabloggers.com/ten-people-genealogists-follow-twitter/ Search Ontario Genealogy & Resources at http://olivetreegenealogy.com/can/ont/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ONTARIO-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
