You were most helpful Ernie. I had thought the address in Sherbrooke never existed until you contacted me. John's youngest son was Percy, born in Sherbrooke. He eventually lived in Shanghai and was caught up in the war. As a result of this the Canadian Archives had a file on him, a volunteer obtained the file for me, and it is full of personal information about the family, including dates and addresses. Percy had no birth certificate. The file had a legal declaration about his birth made by his father in 1931 in Kent. I now have so much more to research, but this was one almighty leap Sue Ernie Turner <eb_turner@hotmail.com> wrote: Hi Sue, Congratulations. That is really neat. Thanks for letting us know.

Civil Registration only became official in 1926. You may be able to find the marriage in church records, though -- From census records do you know what denomination they were? Perhaps Percy was baptised in 1900/01? There are so many church records covering the Sherbrooke area, you may just find what you are looking for.

To all readers and transcribers:- I received an email from Fort Erie, asking "when will the Quebec census be finished" -- I am afraid I told him when the transcribers finished all the remaining many pages. Check http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ You will find there are many districts showing 100% - with the needed 50 lines per page. Quebec is presently at 70.65% with only Ontario, Manitoba, SAskatchewan, British Columbia and Alberta competing -- other provinces are 100% Check the following page -- Sutton, Brome, Quebec http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/Test2.jsp?sdid=6480 It is hoped Cindy Parker returns to finish Page 7 - only 6 lines Also Marilyn Davis has only 7 lines on Page 10 As for the last line it is claimed, but transcriber did not add BLANK lines to the 29 lines to make 50 Family researchers may transcribe his or her family -- but please DO NOT CLAIM the page, unless you do the 50 lines. [Tip:- Copy and Paste are great to transfer both typed data and other part of image to a new message - I have done it!] If pages are enumerated in French, they should be transcribed in French with accents -- I have these on a page I will forward. Also, I have other instructions for transcribing -- several pages, and have copied in one of my Canada Census Committee who will translate if necessary.

Hello A recording of an overview of the Boston States Migrations is available as an MP3 download link with associated links for the syllabus pdf and other resources in the presentation at http://bostonstates.rootsweb.com The link for all of the 2006 FGS recordings released so far and a sample review can be found at at http://ancestralmanor.com/?tabid=30 There are more than 200 recordings available from the FGS conference in Boston. Whether you were unable to attend the conference or simply couldn't be in more than one place at a time while attending the conference, these recordings are a great opportunity for northeastern US, Canada, Ireland, the UK and European research in particular. If you add a review to a recording, please let me know and I will update my website links. Sharon ancestralmanor.com

Trying to find more information regarding my HIGGINS line. Specifically, John Higgins, b May 4, 1811 England d June 10, 1880. I'm ultimately trying to identify his parents. Supposedly from a hand-written family history, John Higgins came to Canada at a young age, indirectly from Ireland, with an uncle William Higgins, who was a member of the "horse guards". (Calvary maybe???) Would like to know what regiments that may have been in the area before 1833 (year John married in Dunham) that Wm Higgins may have assigned to. Thank you for any assistance. Jeff Alexander

To all:- Transcribing of the 1911 Canada Census, released June 28, 2005 is coming along very well -- even though it seems as if some of the enumerators wrote with a piece of 2 x 4 lumber -- often too much ink and very often not enough. Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, NorthWest Territories and Yukon Territory (including Labrador) are 100%. Ontario was 91.46% earlier, followed by Manitoba at 77.14%, Quebec is 67.99%, Saskatchewan 47.28%; British Columbia 46.73% and Alberta 35.88% with overall percentage of Canada 76.66% Reading above, one can see where assistance is needed if only for one page or two -- these do not have to be claimed as long as we get that magic 50 (or more) beside the page. Good news -- Newfoundland became a province in 1949, and one of our committee members tells me there will be a 1911 census -- one only has to look in the next column after the age for the well-known NFLD. We wish you luck Don. If assistance is desired, there is a great deal of information at http://automatedgenealogy.com/census11/ == Frequently Asked Questions is "unfinished" -- there are always more to ask. I am working in a team of transcribers -- it is great to have company! I have a page of French accents which will greatly assist a transcriber Muriel M.
