    1. [PAGE] Regarding the Elijah Ransom Page Book
    2. Ruthanne Page
    3. Hi All: I will take a day off to figure out how to send the Elijah Ransom Page book in parts here. It is 49.6 MB and took about 5 minutes to upload using my DSL connection. Anyone with real high speed internet could handle that easily but I will break it maybe into 5 page segments per letter to send out. Please let me know which category you fall into. To all the SamuelPage-HannahCornell descendants out there who sent me the same request : I love you all dearly but this will be no help to you at all. This is in the Page DNA Family Line E - and only a tiny portion of that too! All of you are in Page DNA Family Line H. That is what the tests prove - yours is a different family altogether. Maybe you haven't noticed how quiet this NewsGroup is over the last year. We are all busy talking to people who really are guaranteed to be chemically proven to be related for sure. (via the DNA tests) Now everyone is trying like crazy to determine exactly how they are related for sure! I WILL send you the Elijah Ransom Page book too if you really want it - but it is not your family! It has no mention of anyone in early Niagara either. I would be very grateful to receive the latest GEDCOM from any of you showing all the Page names you know related to Samuel and Hannah. It would be a very helpful reference. I know they are not related to me - but they lived nearby in 1800! Your Pages were Canadian founders in the early Niagara region along with mine. I once thought they might be related too. There are still some unidentified huge families that might be related back to Generation 1 or 2 in my line but I sure have not been able to track their connections back before Niagara for some families. Anyone with any DNA lines of Page that were EVER in Niagara in the 1780-1910 time frame please do contact me as I have a lot of item like newspaper clippings and many other Niagara records that would be very helpful to you. I have ALL the early Canada Page land records for QUE & ONT. Some of the other early Page families of early Niagara COULD be related about 4 or 5 generations back before 1800 to John and Phebe the founders in Family E like mine. Like your family, I only know the ones afterwards and mostly only the ones in Ontario in the 1800's - my specialty. It is too bad but you Niagara Page researchers must ignore some of the old gold plated History Books and magazines from the 1900 time frame like Annals of the Forty which shows a lot of Page names and give absolutely no clue as to how most of them might be related. If you know how many of them were staunch Quakers, it might give a clue that they may have had little to do with other Pages who ran bars and taverns and raised race-horses. It is my bet that they didn't have much of anything in common! But that is not to say that we can't all compare notes 5 more generations later! Best wishes to all for a Happy 4th of July. I will be flying my Bedford Flag which was the 'first flag of the United States' and was once called the Paige Flag because of Coronet Nathaniel Paige who carried it in the first skirmish with the British. Fortunately Betsey Ross had a much better idea for another flag later on! I am still flying the Canadian flag for July 1st but I will change someday before the 4th! Those Bedford Flag Paiges are now called DNA Line P - and they aren't related to us in Group E or yours in Group H either. Although Elijah Ransom Page and Charles Nash Page (1910 writers in Family E) tried really hard in their old books to prove that their family was related to somebody famous or important like the Bedford Flag Paiges. It is fun to keep the neighbors confused! Cheers, RP
