I have a 4 volume set of the "Storied Province of Quebec" published in 1931 by the Dominion Publishing Company, Toronto. It appears to be complete. The first two volumes are history . The second two volumes are a Who is Who of 1931 Quebec. Youwould have to be prettu important (or rich) to be in it. None of my relatives seem to have made it. I have not heard of a fifth volume.

I know another Letter to the Editor will be puclished this week, as I received a brief phone call, asking me if I was Muriel Davidson and did I write a letter to the editor. -- YES to both questions. Many people do not use computers -- and the only way to reach them is via printed word. I have set this up as you SHOULD submit a Letter to the Editor -- IN YOUR AREA. Some phrases may be used from my letter, YOUR name would have to be inserted and the data at the beginning would be your own. The letters should be short -- and the first one who makes the Mclean's magazine wins a big prize!! PLease remember -- this is a SAMPLE set-up and letter. Muriel -- I know Gilbert might do some in Quebec. (I hope) ================================ ================================ [Must be included or letter will hit File 13!] Muriel M. Davidson 25 Crestview Avenue Brampton, ON L6W 2R8 905-451-3542 === More information available ============================ A common item in every household years ago was the Family Bible -- with events recorded as births, deaths, marriages occurred. Now, families are scattered and we have to rely on Canadian census records for information. Census records have been available since the mid-1600s, with a few years missing or non-sequential prior to 1867. Now, due to restrictions we have to petition the government to gain release of these historical records. Genealogists, historians and family members were pleased when the Deputy Leader of the Government introduced Bill S-18 on November 2, 2004, with Senator Lorna Milne as sponsor. At present, Bill S-18 has had First but must have Second and Third Reading before proceeding to the House of Commons. Not only Canadians, but people of other countries, are gaining support by signing petitions for release of the 1911 census - 92 years after enumeration. All people are invited to sign petitions, available from <http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index.htm> We need both Senate and House of Commons petitions. There is a great deal of information which would be suitable for a school project and both Senate and House of Commons petitions may be signed by teenagers. Addresses are on the above site, or contact <[email protected]> It would be appreciated if petitions would be placed in strategic spots such as libraries, etc. When Bill S-18 is passed, it will amend the problems incurred previously with Statistics Canada and all historical records from 1911 to 2001 will be automatically transferred to Library and Archives Canada, following the 92-year release period. Above all, when you see your Member of Parliament or Senator, ascertain if he or she is in agreement with census release -- I will be pleased to accept your replies at above email address. Let's assist Senator Lorna Milne in her fight for census release! Muriel M. Davidson Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Brampton, ON ============= > > > >

The Storied Province of Quebec Past and Present (5 volumes) Ed. Col. William Wood, Dominion Publishing Company, Limited, Toronto 1931 Page 558. HENRY LOVELL - The LOVELL family, of Coaticook, Province of Quebec, is one of the widely known and distinguished houses of the Eastern Townships. Several of its members have been actively in public life and successful in business, both in the Province of Quebec and in larger circles in the Dominion. The founder of the name in this Province was the father of the man whose name appears at the head of this review, named WILLIAM LOVELL, who came from the New England Sates of the United States and settled in Barnston, Eastern Townships. The name was originally spelled LOVEWELL, but later was changed to the form LOVELL that is now used. WILLIAM LOVELL made his home at Barnston for some time, and there was a land owner and a farmer. There he reared his family of three sons, who married three sisters named MERRIMAN: 1) JOHN, who married ANNIE MERRIMAN. 2) HENRY, who married ARTEMISSA MERRIMAN. 3) WALTER, who married OLIVE MERRIMAN. These three sisters were all daughters of ISAAC MERRIMAN, and like the LOVELLs, were all of old New England Stock. Of the three sons, HENRY, whose name heads this record, was born in Barnston, Eastern Townships, on the home farm of his father. Forty years later he removed to Coaticook, where he built the house in which he died. He did not give all his attention to farming, however, during the period in which he lived on the farm, but from the beginning of his life was inclined toward trading and business. During the Civil War, he shipped large quantities of grain to the United States and earned considerable money by these transactions. His greatest gain at that time came through buying greenbacks. In those days, $3 worth of these could be bought for $1. MR. LOVELL was a firm believer in the final value this United States money, and put all that he had, except his farm, into green backs, investing heavily in United States bonds. During his residence in Barnston, he was elected to the council, and was mayor. In 1867, however, he removed to Coaticook. In his new community, he became a member of the house of KENSELL, FABOR and Company, dealers in flour, grain and feed. He remained with this firm until his son, CHARLE H. LOVELL, a record of whom follows, became of age in the year 1876, and formed a partnership with him and his late son, MOODIE, under the firm name of H. LOVELL and Sons. Together they continued the flour, feed and grain business for a time; but eventually they went into the lumber business instead. For many years they supplied the Grand Trunk Railway with cord wood; and his company was also concerned with the manufacture of clapboards, with interests in Orford, near Sherbrooke, and down at Grand Valley. In Coaticook, as previously in Barnston, MR. LOVELL served for many years as councilman and mayor. He was a consistent Liberal in his political views, and did much for his party. At the time of his death he was a member of the House of Commons at Ottawa; and many years before, had been a member of the Legislature, at Quebec, having opposed and defeated the late JOHN THORNTON. He was twice elected to the Federal House, his first opponent having been A. H. MOORE, and the second the HON. M. F. HACKETT. MR. LOVELL died at his home in Coaticook at the age of eighty years; and his passing was a cause of widespread sorrow. For it removed from this community one of the outstanding men of the region and an individual who in his personal life, was a man of exemplary character and lovable personality. His memory will live on in the years to come, a source of joy and inspiration to those whose privilege it was to know him. As a local paper commented, He was recognized as a man of high character, sound judgment, and wide business experience. He was, indeed a robust figure, strong physically and mentally, with a kindly nature and no little public spirit. What his hand found to do he did with his might. He goes to his last reward full of years and honours, leaving to his family the priceless heritage of his good name. HENRY LOVELL married first, ARTEMISSA MERRIMAN. To them six children were born, of whom one daughter, ELLA, who became MRS. J. W. TABOR, and two sons, CHARLES H. and FRITZ E., survived him. Two children died in childhood; and another son, MOODIE B., who represented the county in the Quebec Legislature, died a few years ago. (See accompanying biography.) MR. LOVELL married, second, MARY LYSTER, who survives him. ==========================

Hello all ; I am in somewhat the same situation, my hubby is from Fitch Bay, and we lived nearby when first married - but then moved away before we caought the Genealogy Bug. Now we are ever so grateful for the help of Leslie, he has been a Godsend - also the Stanstead Historical Society, and several other kind folks who have responded to our queries. We are seeking DUTTON, SPRAGUE, BUZZELL , KEMP , CAMBER - and gradually compiling a good stack of records- slowly ..

Hello ; Thank you Mat on the tutorial, there is a lot of information there. I go to my local FHC and their Printer always breaks down, leaving us stranded with no way to make copies. I spoke to the Director Volunteer abt. them maybe getting a replacement and was told that these things start at $7000. seven thousand --- and the LDS is responsible for getting them, and because this FHC is small and doesn't have the volume of traffic they would not buy a new one- that they do have a service contract but it takes days to get the Tech. to come. so we are stuck- I see others occasionally with a camera taking pics of the tape, and am contemplating buying a camera- the last time a gal was doing that but she was gone before I could ask her abt. her camera- so I am asking all the Listers who have done this, taken pics of the tapes at the FHC- which camera seems to be best suited, for that, and for other uses as well (family stuff )- I have been advised to also get a tripod, my hand shakes- and I appreciate advice from those who have been there.

There were some excellent suggestions by Mat on using a camera to photograph microfilm images. Another method is to request libraries (or help them raise the funds) to purchase a new microfilm reader/printer that emails images. My city library just purchased one. You can print off copies while you are there or you can email them to your home. I haven't tried it, yet, but it seems like a major advancement. Withe the old machines, sometimes the image is OK, but various problems with the printer can give less than satisfactory copies (not to mention having to sometimes print several copies with various settings before getting one good copy -- those machine can be temperamental.) My home printer will likely print better copies than the microfilm printer, plus I can keep the emailed image on my computer. Wayne McElreavy

HOW TO Digitally Photograph Microfilm: To reduce transcription errors, have a permanent record and get more accomplished in the limited time available on our local microfilm readers, I recently experimented with digitally photographing the wanted information on a microfilm. Here is what I learned. The microfilm reader was the type with a vertical ground glass screen. I soon learned that a gentle cleaning of the glass holders and lens was a good idea. And one should try different models and select the one with the best optics. Often at magnification, the in-focus area is very limited on some machines and may not cover all the data you wish to copy. If this is always the case, then try lower magnification on the viewer to expand the data in-focus and use the camera's optical [not digital] zoom and a higher pixel setting. The camera I used was an older cheap Canon with 3x optical zoom and a supplementary focusing beam for low light conditions - important. It was only 2 MegaPixel but this was usually adequate. It used 4 AA batteries and these were necessarily rechargeable NiMH for the long sessions with the LCD viewer on and also if you suppress sleep mode for your convenience. It had 512 MB memory [only costs $Cd 75] that allowed for over 1,000 black & white images at a good resolution of about 500 KB. The Canon did not have a swiveling LCD viewer that would be necessary if shooting a non-vertical surface. A sturdy tripod is an absolute necessity since the camera will be working as slow as 1/15th sec. shutter speed at ISO=50 for quality. I tried clamping to the back of a chair but it was a little too low and was awkward to use. One feature that I really dislike with digital cameras is the delay from the time you press the button until it takes the picture. In this application, however, this is an advantage since it reduces the jiggle without having to program it into self-timer mode. I could leave the tripod between the screen and me as I searched the film. With newspapers and their columnar information, I turned the camera on end. The camera was set up in Program mode so that there was NO FLASH and the images were black-white [to save memory space]. Initially I used the medium quality settings but that was inadequate for larger, unmagnified areas. When you have lots of memory, it is probably best to use a higher quality of pixels and super-fine compression so as to avoid repeating your work. This will result in JPEG images of about 600 KB or greater. It is hard to tell the resulting quality on the camera's LCD screen so it is only when you load it into your computer that you know your true success rate. An important accessory is a pack of small Post-it notes. These are used to label your image with identifying information, such as date & page in a newspaper. You stick these on the screen next to your wanted information. This helps you line up the camera's field since you really can't read the microfilm's info on the camera's LCD screen. It also provides an opaque surface by which the camera's auto-focus system can better gauge the distance, if the Post-it is in the central focusing area. I also try to include a date byline in the field of view for another date verifying piece of information. This can be your only note-taking while at the microfilm viewer if you also image the film's title and contents pages. I was pleasantly surprised at how much quicker one can get information from a microfilm using this technique. I did 100 images in 2 hours, but I was only scanning for BMD headings in a newspaper. These images covered about 200 BMD events. In many cases in past note-taking, I would have extracted only essential data; not have written out every word; and I would make some spelling mistakes or have illegible notes. But the job is not done until you re-examine the images and extract the pertinent information into your computer and other files. That can take a lot of time, but you do that at home at your leisure. You also have to expect some mistakes in imaging that have to be redone. But you know that you have it right when questioned about your file data because you have a copy of the original document. I do not bother printing the images since that costs and the quality is poorer than on the screen. Back-up CDROM's are my archive. I find Ulead Photo Explorer Ver.6.02 handy for viewing the file, re-orienting and renaming the images. Version 8.5 is available for $US 29.99 from www.ulead.com but most digital cameras come with similar useful software. One can only hope that this is a short-term technique until we all have easy access to PC-based microfilm viewers with CDROM burning capability. BTW, the professional librarians were fully aware of what I was doing and expressed no concern. Questions and suggestions welcomed. Mat

Sorry for the "wrong" information. I meant that many of these people wound up in the Eastern Townships as it is proven by many of the names you will find here. If you are looking for English Speaking persons in Quebec, the Huntington area was settled by Scots and Irish and as the records show, these are ancestors of later generations of the Eastern Townships,,Brome, Compton, Stanstead, etc. Dundee borders Fort Covington in Franklyn County, New York and you will find many of these same people enlisted in Franklin County in the Civil War in the states. Many are buried in cemetaries just across the border. It wasn't my intent to mislead,,,,but to help those trying to find missing records/ancestors. There are several good resource census in Huntington County and Franklin County that help to put families together.
