St Antoine du Baie du Febvre is a Roman Catholic parish whose records date from 1686. From that date to 1900, these are available on microfilm at the Quebec National Archives, if you have the date and names, these obtained for moderate fee, see Marlene's Simmons web on this subject. 1900 and later you have to get these from the Director of L'Etat Civil for a set fee. In either case, they will not search but provide a copy of what you request. After 1900, these are official government copies, before 1900, a photocopy of the original french language entry from the church record. There is no book of vitals, the closest possibility is the Repertory of Marriages for this area. (BS) baptisms and burials are not available yet to my knowledge. About 99% of Roman Catholic marriages have been published as "Repertoires" some of the births and deaths are becoming available I would guess about 10%.

Can anyone tell me anything about ST-ANTOINE DU BAIE DE FEBVRE, YAMASKA, QUEBEC? If I wanted vital records for early 1800 where would be the best place to contact? Thanks Janice

With all the discussion about the Home Children over the last few days, I want to let people who are in Eastern Ontario, Western Quebec and Northern New York know that Dave and Kay Lorente will be speaking at the monthly meeting of the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa on the current progress of the Home Children project. The meeting will be held on Saturday, November 18 at 10:00 am. If you want instructions how to get to the meeting, feel free to email me.

The British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa is working with the National Archives to create the database of Home Children you find on Archivianet. It is definitely a work in progress. Volunteers are assigned a year and then go through the microfilm passengers lists to extract the names of the Home Children and then record the data in a specific format in a text file. Once that it done, the data is turned over to the Archives who put it into a database. They, unfortunately, have all the normal restraints and constraints of budget restrictions and conflicting priorities. Your year may not have been recorded yet. It may be recorded, but has not yet been added to the online database. Keep checking back from time to time for new data. Marg Burwell Webmaster, BIFHSGO http://www.cyberus.ca/~bifhsgo

Karen and List: One estimate says that 10% of the population of Canada is descended from home children. I'm Scots born and have no Canadian roots at all and I'm far from an expert on Home Children, however this is what I know. I'm itnerested because two of my very best friends are the offspring of home children - one had a grandfather from 'somewhere in England', the other a father who became an anglican priest here in Canada and who kept a diary every single day of his life....her mother, obviously ashamed of his background, disposed of the earlier journals after his death. The point is that there are very many Canadians descended from home children; There was a MacPherson home in Knowlton and Richmond Quebec and Ms Rye had one in Sherbrooke. There is no complete list but there are wonderful people working hard to gather information. Their websites to look at for information in no particular order: 1. The British Home Children website hosted by Perry Snow http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ He also hosts the terrific and very recent mailing list British Home Children......can't remember how to subscribe but have a look through Rootsweb.......BRITISHHOMECHILDREN-L@rootsweb.com. Perry has also written a great book "Neither Waifs Nor Strays" which is available on the web page 2. the National Archives has a searchable database taken from ships passenger lists of children who came over with the different agencies. ......http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&020110&e&top&0 3. Marj Kohli at the University of Waterloo has huge amounts of information about the homes and children, and she's really helpful.......and her email is marj@ist.uwaterloo.ca http://ist.uwaterloo.ca/~marj/genealogy/genealogy.html 4. David Lorente is the guru of home children and has been fighting for information for years. Unfortunately, I hear that he is so backlogged (600 inquiries to answer - he gets hundreds DAILY) that he has shut down for a while to catch up, but the website has great information http://pda.republic.net/othsa/HomeChild/HomeIndex.html 5. There are two people in Quebec who are experts on the area,Sarge & Pauline Bampton but I don't know how to get hold of them....I think Marj Kohli's web page lists them..... Hope this helps Heather

Anne: I've been researching home children for some time and I subscribe to the British Home Children List. It's incredibly interesting, uplifting and sad at the same time when one reads the postings from people searching for some connection to family. I strongly suggest that you at least monitor the list - good advice and clear information. There are many many home children in the Townships - there were at least two agencies who had intake homes in the area (I know of one in Knowlton and one in Sherbrooke); Marj Kohle is the expert on who/what/where the homes were. Both of the families that I am researching in the area had home children 'billeted' with them (at least they had very young boys listed as lodgers on the various census records). Good luck, Heather Ioannou

I have new information on my Brookses. Amos Brooks was born 1810 Canada. At the time he married Almeda Leete in the Congregational Church on December 22, 1835, he was residing in Shipton, Quebec. Almeda was the daughter of Levi Leete (b. 1768) and Abigail Olney. The Leetes moved to Canada in 1805, most likely from Charleston, New Hampshire. By 1850, Amos and Almeda were living in Irasburg, Vermont, with four children: 1 Charlie 1836 Canada. 2 Savrica/Lovina? (perhaps Lucia after Almeda's sister?), born 1838 Canada. 3 Reubin E, born August 1842 in Quebec. Married 1869 Carrie Annis born Oct 1(8), 1845 Albany VT of James Annis & Mirinda Parker. Served in 1st Vermont Cavalry. Died Jan 22, 1916. Lived Greensboro VT in 1880 and in Albany VT 1900. a George Edwin Brooks born Feb 25, 1872 Albany, VT. b Ada May Brooks born March 24, 1875 Albany, VT. c Willie James Brooks born Nov 26, 1876, died Aug 31, 1877. d William Eastman Brooks born June 6, 1879 Greensboro VT. 4 Caroline Brooks born 1846 Canada. Married Silas H Annis (natural son of James Annis & Mirinda Parker), adopted as Charles Silas Duckles of Albany VT in 1851. Vicki Duckless Flanders Newport VT Native

I'm seeking more information on my great-great grandfather, Harmon BUTLER, born 1825. He resided at one time in Fulford, Brome, Quebec. He married Julia ___, and both supposedly were born in the US. Their son, Jay C. Butler, supposedly was born in Vermont in the 1870s. He was a manufacturer and resided in Waterloo, Quebec. In Coventry, Rhode Island, he married Florence Spencer Lees in 1902. After her death in 1905, he married Katherine Clark. Jay died at Mansonville, Quebec, on March 24, 1959, and is interred at Waterloo Cemetery. Jay had three children raised by foster families: Kenneth Earl, Lillian May and another son--named Raymond, I think. Vicki Flanders New Hampshire

I was going to give the fax number for Notre Dames Cote des Neiges Cemetery to someone on the list, however, I deleted that email by mistake. I can't locate the fax number just yet, (too many papers I have sitting here <grin>) but their phone number is (514) 735-1361 They are not open now as their hours of operation are 8:30 to 4:30 and then open on Saturday. I know because I called to get it. Should I be lucky and find the fax number, I will also post it and I also have to post this to the other lists also, so I apologize for the duplication. Thanks so much. Karen

Hi would some one send me the url for Glenbow where Dennys pages are? Thanx. Viola.

Hi List, First, let me apologize to everyone who receives this e-mail more than once. I have decided to send this to all the lists I am on to help the most people. As you know, there are times when searching for films, you need the soundex number for the surname you are researching in order to rent the proper film. I have found a great website that all you have to do is type in the surname and it will give you the soundex code for that name. Hope this is of help to a lot of people. http://www.nara.gov/genealogy/soundex/soundex.html Sue in Florida macduff@infi.net

Hi - my grandfather was also a Home Child (came in 1910). In addition to the sites already suggested, I would add David Lorente's: This one provides details on the receiving homes in Canada, including the Knowlton Distributing home, and the Gibbs home in Sherbrooke - where your relative may have most likely come through - the site also provides advice on how to do research about the Home Children, i.e. obtain documents and records about your ancestors from the "child saving" organizations in England, etc. http://pda.republic.net/othsa/HomeChild/HomeIndex.html Marj Kohl's website mentioned is also excellent, and the mailing list is very interesting but I find it way too busy - there are literally thousands of us out there searching for information; and I sometimes receive dozens of messages a day on this one. The guy who started the list, Perry Snow, has published an "on-line" book (you can download the table of contents and the first chapter I think for free, and then order the rest if you like for about 30$ (?). The book is called Neither Waif Nor Stray, and tells the story of his father, who came through the Gibbs Home I believe: http://www.upublish.com/books/snow.htm and his page is: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren There are lists of Home Children here - I tried to take a quick scan for George and John Clark(e) but the pages seem to have always had some trouble loading - there is too much info.. I could load the "A" page but not "B" and "C" which are supposed to load together with A... you may want to write to Perry Snow yourself anyway. Hope all this helps... Heather Howard Toronto

I called St. Michaels in sherbrooke who said yes they have an old cemetary but all the records had been transferred to the Civil state office, 2050 Bleury St.(at pres. Kennedy) 6th floor in Montreal. the number is 864-3900. they are not open on saturdays but 8:30-4:30. still don't know when I'm going but I am trying to get my hands on a map of both Montreal and sherbooke so I could try to make it on a Friday afternoon when we arrive in Montreal. I guess you all knew about this place but thought I'd pass it along anyway. Alannah in Toronto researching: HAYWARD in Quebec.

Hi Ann, I also have a home children situation. Have you tried the Canadian archives home children site http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&02020204&e&home&0 Also, there is a mailing list for home children, BRITISHHOMECHILDREN-L@rootsweb.com to subscribe. Young immigrants to canada also is a good source http://www.ist.uwaterloo.ca/~marj/genealogy/children/lists/unions.html Cyndi's List is also a good source, keep checking out the sites and chances are you'll find something :http://www.CyndisList.com/gencan.htm Good luck don't give up, I understand it's a long voyage to gather information about this children. You could actually contact the society that sent the children and possibly get a photo (some of them did take a photo before the children left the country) and other information about the situation prior to leaving.

Is anyone familiar with this book: Story of Ascot, Parts of Ranges I to V, 1803-1948, Hazel Ashe Coates. Ascot, QC: Ascot Women's Institute, 1949. I would be very interested in knowing whether there is any information in it on the WILCOX family, or if anyone knows where, I might purchase a copy of it. Thanks. Kathy

Ann: I have a George Clark that was a Home Child. He married in Grey Co. Ontario. But I have him born in 1911. Do you have any other information on your George.
