Sher, Being disabled (non-mobile) and living in the US I have had zero luck getting the information as the library is not someplace that I could get to if and when the films come in......sigh. Thanks for the pointers, maybe some genealogy angel will help me and I can at least point them to the correct series......thanks!

This series covers each county - so order the film with the letter of your county (S for Simcoe, etc.). Your librarian can access the National Archives site - I think Lorine gave you the URL for that - and you can order these films into your local library and read them. Your librarian can help you decide which films you want. There is very little personal information on these films, but sometimes it includes the pay received, and sometimes it includes a sample of the person's handwriting - and sometimes it says whether or not his wife and children were encamped with the unit - but other than that there isn't much - but it makes for good reading anyway!! Hope this helps. Sher At 02:10 PM 10/12/07, you wrote: Marg, Thanks for the pointers. I have searched The Canadian Military Heritage Project, Olive Tree and Ancestry.com and I am not finding very many muster rolls, mainly found is those that were sentenced to death or jailed. I guess I should mention I am looking for my ancestor Levi Willson/Wilson. According to his obit he was a Major in the 1837 Rebellion (among other things like sheriff). I will look through the links you have sent. THANK YOU!
