Trying to discover just where William Lovell (Lovewell) (who married Mary Hanson) was from in New England? Possibility he was related to Zacheuss Lovewell. In any event, Micajah Hanson, who died September 1837 is buried in the same cemetery as his daughter Mary (Hanson) and William Lovell in the Lovell Cemetery in Barnston, Quebec. Mary Hanson, was the daughter of Micajah Hanson and Nancy Rogers, from Dover, NH or Alton, NH. William and Mary lived in Barnston, Stanstead County, Quebec, Canada and had three sons, John, Henry and Walter. William was in the War of 1812 as a Sergeant and may have moved to Canada after the war and met Mary there.

URGENT S-18 UPDATEGreetings All. FYI Gordon ----- Original Message ----- From: Paul, Jeff: SEN To: [email protected] Subject: URGENT S-18 UPDATE Hi there everyone There have been some important develoments in S-18 and Senator Milne needs your help. As many of you may know, Conservative Senator Lynch-Staunton took the adjournment of the debate of the bill yesterday. This means that no progress can be made on the bill until he speaks. We have found out that he will not be in the Senate next week and that he does not intend to speak on the bill until the government promises to hold hearings on a private Senator's bill that Senator Stratton still hasn't even introduced. This development has the potential to delay progress on the bill by several weeks. Senator Milne needs your help to put pressure on the Conservatives to move ahead with S-18. We need people to write to: Senator John Lynch-Staunton: [email protected] Senator Terrence Stratton: [email protected] Deputy Leader of the Conservative Party in the Senate You can also call the Senate at 1-800-267-7362 and ask for Sen. Stratton's office or Sen. Lynch-Staunton's office and explain to their staff that you want to see action on this bill. Senator Stratton is from Manitoba and Sen. Lynch-Staunton is from Quebec. If you are from those provinces a call may be especially helpful. You should urge both of these Senators to allow S-18 to move forward, and encourage Sen. Lynch-Staunton to speak on the bill as soon as possible. We also need to lean on Stephen Harper to get him to realize that his Senate Caucus is holding up a bill that is supported by the Conservative Party. If your MP is Conservative, I strongly encourage you to write to him or her and ask them to put pressure on the Conservative Senators who are holding up the bill. We can't do much from our end because Conservatives can tell us to go to hell without there being any consequences. They can't do the same thing to the general pubilc. Good luck you guys. I hope that once again we can have your support. Jeff Paul Policy Advisor Office of the Hon. Lorna Milne Ph: (613) 947-9744 Cell: (613) 715-2965

Long ago when I summered at great grandparents cottage on Lake Massawippi I knew the LOVELL/SMITH/BROWN family who had a cottage very close by. Today I have found that family again and discover that I do have a connection to them genealogically. Am now researching the LOVELL and SMITH families of Coaticook. Here is some data gathered today from census records and SJVS. Would anyone on list also be researching these families? STANSTEAD JOURNAL VITAL STATISTICS 1845-1860 Page 38.

Hello list, I am so excited to have discovered JACK LITTLE and today have ordered two of his books from him directly which was considerably less than any other source I found on the Internet. (I should ask him to autograph the books for me too) I ordered the following books: 1) Nationalism, Capitalism, and Colonization in Nineteenth-Century Quebec: The Upper St Francis District (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1989) * am interested in this book primary for the chapter on the BRITISH AMERICAN LAND COMPANY that I am researching after discovering 3 great grandfather came from England as a representative of that company. (WM HOPKINSON) Also interested in how business was conducted as my ancestors in the Eastern Townships were manufacturers and inventors, not farmers. (at least those born after 1820) 2) The Child Letters: Public and Private Life in a Canadian Merchant-Politician's Family, 1841-1845 (McGill-Queen's University Press, 1995) * am very interested in this book as this is about the MARCUS CHILD family of Coaticook which has many letters written by the family including his daughter ELIZABETH HOWARD CHILD before her marriage to LEWIS L. SLEEPER. (brother of my 2 great grandfather WRIGHT SLEEPER)The letters relate what life was like for this family living in Coaticook and the townships during the 1841-1845 era. (book, article and contact information on JACK LITTLE) JACK LITTLE, 604.291.4533, [email protected] http://www.sfu.ca/history/little.htm =================== Like to share a little history I have learned about JACK LITTLE - excerpts from e-mails sent. He is not related to the Stanstead LITTLE's born in Inverness Township on the farm where the first Little from Ireland settled in 1829, so no relation to the Stanstead Littles. My distant cousin, Gwen Rawlings, has done extensive genealogical work on the family and Megantic County in general. Fyi, I've just published another book. The title is Borderland Religion: The Emergence of an English-Canadian Identity, 1792-1852 (University of Toronto Press). It includes lots of material on Stanstead and Missisquoi Counties, in particular. A somewhat sensationalized article on it has recently appeared in a number of newspapers across the country. You can find it by searching The National Post website - I believe I used 'borderland' as the key word. State and Society in Transition concerns politics, schools, courts, and municipal government immediately after the Rebellions of 1837-38, again with a considerable focus on Stanstead County. JACK LITTLE's latest book................ I am sure I will have to order this too in time. -review- Choosing different religious paths - In his new book Borderland Religion: The Emergence of an English-Canadian Identity, SFU historian JACK LITTLE paints a fascinating historical portrait of how Canadians and Americans came to pursue different religious paths. LITTLE can talk about how a failed end-of-the-world prophesy by the radical and powerful US based Millerite movement was the impetus for Canadians rejecting the fire-and-brimstone religious culture still shaping American identity.

http://www.ourroots.ca/f/toc.asp?id=880 This appears to be the original book FOREST AND CLEARINGS published in 1874 or a very early edition at any rate complete with illustrations which the HERITAGE CLASSIC edition published in 1988 is lacking.

Historical record would span time period of 1836 to 1922 Wednesday, November 17, 2004 By Carl Hartman, The Associated Press WASHINGTON -- The government promises anyone with a computer will have access within a few years to millions of pages from old newspapers, a slice of American history to be viewed now only by visiting local libraries, newspaper offices or the nation's capital. <> <http://www.neh.gov/> The first of what's expected to be 30 million digitized pages from papers published from 1836 through 1922 will be available in 2006. "Anyone who's interested -- teachers, students, historians, lawyers, politicians, even newspaper reporters -- will be able to go to their computer at home or at work and at a click of a mouse get immediate, unfiltered access to the greatest source of our history," said Bruce Cole, chairman of the National Endowment for the Humanities. He announced the project in a speech at the National Press Club. Now, the only way to view the old papers is to pore through many thousands of microfilm reels at the Library of Congress, regional libraries and newspaper offices. The Library of Congress already has put together a small sample. It has digitized issues of the U.S. military newspaper "Stars and Stripes" during World War I, February 1918 to June 1919. Cole said the National Digital Newspaper Program is to further the founding fathers' belief that knowledge of history was a necessity for government by the people. "American amnesia is dangerous," he said. "Democracy is not self-sustaining; it needs to be learned and passed down from generation to generation. We have to know our great founding principles, how our institutions came into being, how they work, what our rights and responsibilities are." The National Endowment for the Humanities is working on the project with the Library of Congress, which has embarked on a broader project to preserve records of American newspapers dating from the late 1600s. The span of the joint project is limited because type faces of printers used before 1836 are too difficult for optical scanners to read, and copyright restrictions are in force on papers published after 1923. Cole said the new program is a cornerstone of an undertaking called "We the People," supported by President George W. Bush and Congress to improve the teaching of American history at all levels of education.

I found the item on searchable American newspapers very interesting. Our community has local newspapers on microfilm going back to the 1880s. Some genealogists tend to overlook newspapers - and it's a mistake! There is a wealth of obits, marriages, births, and social news on local families. A line such as "George Pitts who left for Punxsatawny Pa., 22 years ago is visiting his family this week." can open new doors of research if you have been looking for George and had no idea where he went when he left home as a young man. It's tough research because one must read or at least quickly-scan every page. It's also very interesting and one can easily get off track - reading the latest murder, accident, even the old advertisements are fascinating etc. But there is a faster way to research some papers now - Paper of Record - is a pay-site available on-line. You type in your word of choice - the search engine finds it - and lets you view the entire newspaper page with "your word" highlighted in yellow. It can't get much easier than that! Cost of the site is about $16/mo Cdn - and you can do a LOT of work in one month! The site is very "fair" it will let you view the list of newspapers available FREE - AND it will let your type in your word of choice - to see if the search engine can find it. After that you must shell out to see the pages. I would give two notes of caution - very short words do not search well. I went looking for the name GOW and got back some very odd words. The actual pages are being searched and some of the old newspaper typefaces are difficult to read for the human eye - never mind an optical scanner! The second note is that you really do need a highspeed connection. If you are using dial-up the whole search-system takes time and you may find it too frustrating. By typing in the name Gallinger, and using the Perth Era newspaper, I followed two girls from their passing marks in public school, through high school plays and found where their family traveled on holidays. The older girl married, became a milliner for a prestigious shop and took the train to Toronto to seek out the latest styles. She married, left town, had one child and died young, her husband's death was reported years later. The younger girl remained single all her life, played the piano for community concerts, volunteered for church, community and throughout WWI. The last entry was for the auction of her home's contents. Very sad. All of this I learned through Paper of Record. I could never have worked through 70 years worth of newspapers without this marvelous site. By typing "Paper of Record" into google or any search engine you will find the site and can evaluate it for your own research. This site has papers from Canada and around the world - well worth a looksee! Good Luck in your research Lily

Project would make 30 million newspaper pages searchable through Internet CARL HARTMAN, Associated Press Writer Tuesday, November 16, 2004 Printable Version Email This Article (11-16) 14:26 PST WASHINGTON (AP) -- The government promises anyone with a computer will have access within a few years to millions of pages from old newspapers, a slice of American history to be viewed now only by visiting local libraries, newspaper offices or the nation's capital.

Suggestion: PRINT the Scoreboard of the Senators - Muriel ----- Original Message ----- From: "Gordon A. Watts" <[email protected]> To: "Canada Census Campaign" <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 8:04 PM Subject: Post 1901Census - Senator Scoreboard revised Greetings All. In a review of the current list of Senators I found that a number have retired in the past six months, or are about to retire this month, and one has resigned. Those Senators that have retired or resigned are Senators Ed Lawson (BC), D. Roche (AB), R. Kroft (MB), J-R Gauthier (ON), G. Beaudoin (QC), B. Robertson (NB), and E. Rossiter (PEI). Retiring this month are Laurier LaPierre (ON) and Yves Morin. There are currently 13 vacancies for Senators. I have updated the Senator's Scoreboard to reflect these changes. The Scoreboard Totals have been brought up-to-date as well. A reminder that we are seeking your thoughts about Bill S-18. Full details about this new Census Bill are available at the Post 1901 Census Project website at www.globalgenealogy.com/Census . Briefly, this Bill would provide full, unrestricted public access after 92 years, with no added conditions or restrictions, for Censuses from 1911 to 2001. For Censuses from 2006 and later it would impose an 'informed consent' clause that would require each respondent to the Census to give permission for their information to be released 92 years later. There is a provision that would require a review of the effect of the 'informed consent' clause after two Censuses had been conducted.

I recently aquired a birth/baptism church record which shows my great grandfather born in June 1866 and baptised in Feb 1968. Did they issue seperate birth records or is that it? The reason I ask is that I have census records which indicate that he was born in 1867 not 1866. Many thanks Rollei

The church record is likely to be more reliable than the census, particularly when the date of baptism is close to the date of birth. Its common to find the year of birth is mis-stated in the census, even after taking account of the actual date of enumeration and the "age next birthday" bit when applicable. > -----Original Message----- > From: Roland Little [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 13:04 > To: [email protected] > Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Birth/Baptism records > > I recently aquired a birth/baptism church record which shows > my great grandfather born in June 1866 and baptised in Feb 1968. > Did they issue seperate birth records or is that it? > The reason I ask is that I have census records which indicate > that he was born in 1867 not 1866. > > Many thanks > Rollei >

All sorts of records record Z. MORRILL's given name as ZERVIAH. I think many people picked this name up from DAR records for DANIEL BACHELDER. ============== Daniel Bachelder (1750-1832) was a signer of the Association Test in London, N. H. He was born in Chester; died in Stanstead, Quebec. (note: Chester, NH covered what is now Hooksett, parts of Allenstown, and several other towns) DAR PATRIOT LOOK UP: BATCHELDER, Daniel Birth NH 15 Aug 1750 Service NH Rank PS Death CD 17 Jan 1832 Patriot Pensioned: No Widow Pensioned: No Children Pensioned: No Heirs Pensioned: No Spouse: (2) Zerviah Morrell Spouse: (1) Judith Judkins ========================= It has just been brought to my attention that according to her tombstone her given name was spelled ZEURIAH. See ROSE Cemetery information below. Thanks to BACHELDER researcher JUDY, for sending me this new data. Daniel and (2nd wife: Zeuriah) are buried in the Rose Cemetery, just east of Stanstead. On the tombstone the names are Zeuriah, wife of Daniel Bachelder and his stone is Daniel Bachelder, so he changed the spelling of his name. The Rose Cemetery was abandoned at one time and according to Dave Lepitre, many of the stones were thrown in a nearby pond. It is beautifully maintained now, but there are not a lot of stones. There is only half of Daniel's stone. It says - Daniel Bachelder died Jan. 17, 1832 Zeuriah's: Zeuriah wife of Daniel Bachelder died Aug. 24, 1854 aged 75 yrs. ====================== DANIEL BACHELDER and first wife, JUDITH JUDKINS, were the parents of my 3 great grandmother, HANNAH BATCHELDER wife of CAPT. HEZEKIAH SLEEPER.
