Hi I'm new to this list but the German/Dutch/Engilsh debate has been interesting. I'm searching for Rachel PETERS b. abt. 1826 ENGLAND m. Horatio Nelson ATKINSON b. abt. 1826 N.B., CAN . Her parents are listed as Joshua PETERS and Annie BROWN. In an earlier , more distant, Atkinson generation there is also a Henry PETERS married to Mary STANDING listed their son Henry PETERS married Rowena ATKINSON. This Henry was a traveling Methodist lay preacher. I do believe they are related as we have a gr.aunt named Susan Dorothy Standing Atkinson. Family lore says we are descended from a Lord Standing. The 1871 census for the town of Pictou, N.S., CAN. lists her as being born in Eng. All of the Methodist faith. An 1891 census puts this family in N.B., CAN. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Ruth
