Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/nNABAIB/7593 Message Board Post: I am still on the eternal search as many are for some breakthrough. Here goes. I am searching for any info on my ggggrandfather, Abraham Phillips. His son, William Henry was born in Canada, on April 27, 1954 in Dresden. (that date is according to my gggrandmothers Declaration of Intent Papers, although on the 1882 Census of Michigan, Williams info appears to put it at 1856 or 57. He states that his father Abraham came from Scottland and his mother Nancy Baring came from Ireland. I have William and Charlotte Millers marriage info (married 18 Dec 1877 at Wallaceburg, which gives parents names, but can not find anything on Abraham or Nancy. I've concentrated my search in Canada, but perhaps they settled in the U.S. before going to Canada, where William was born. William and Charlotte came to the U.S. (Mich) in 1880 at Lapeer, with my ggrandfather, Peter William who was an infant. Does anyone think these names sound familiar, or have any ideas on search options? Thanks! in advance.
