In the book "Alphabetical Index to the LAND GRANTS BY THE CROWN In the Province Of Quebec from 1763 to 31st December 1890", the names of grantees (persons receiving land grants), township, counties, number of acres, deed of letter-patent, Registered-Letter/Page, and page of the printed list are recorded. ie: name of grantees--Anderson, Alex; township--Chatham; counties--Argenteuil; acres--100; date of letters patent--September 19, 1838; registered/letter--S grants..page 483; page of the printed list--26 This index can be purchased from the Quebec Family History Society, P.O. box 1026, Pointe Claire, Quebec, Canada, H9S 4H9 tel(514)695-1502 The whole index cost about 100.00cdn plus shipping....can't remember exact costs. But if you had the exact information from the index, possibly then you could send for the copy of the actual grant of deed. Hoping this will be helpful...... cdeckers@accglobal.net wrote: > Hi Listers, > > I am hoping someone can help me with this.

Hi Listers, I am hoping someone can help me with this. When our ancestor settlers were granted land in the Eastern Townships, they had certain requirements to fulfill before they were given official title (deed) to the land. I am trying to locate these records, not the land grants or petitions for land. But the actual deed (title) the government would have issued to the settler once they had stayed on the land for 3 years and meet the other necessary requirements. These records may possibly be called "Letter Patents" Does anyone know anything about these Letter Patents (title or deed), and where should be looking for them. Any information or suggestions would be most welcomed. Carol

Your help is greatly appreciated. Sue in Sunny Florida macduff@infi.net

Try the following which will, at the least, provide the names of the British regiments. Rosters can usually be obtained from the PRO at KEW, if there are no other clues. (Kew research requires personal visit or paid researcher). www.militaryheritage.com/1812htm Good luck.....David Carr in Ontario

Does anyone on this list have access to land records of Lower Quebec 1783-1796? I had borrowed on inter library loan the Land records index reel for Lower Quebec and read it this morning at my local library, I found the name or names I was looking for but now I need copies of these land records. I went to the National Archives of Canada site but it says they need a good sum for deposit to look up these records. Help! Sandy Bushaw sandy@valleyint.com

Hello List! I am researching the Felch family who lived in East Farnham. If you have any information on any Felch in this area, I would be interested in it. Here is what I know..... My Daniel D. Felch (1814-1895) was born in Middlebury, Vermont. He married Harriet Flint in Vermont. Daniel was living in East Farnham from about age 9 (1823). After his marriage to Harriet, they returned to East Farnham. The couple had 5 children, then moved to Wisconsin in 1853. I have been trying to tie my Daniel D. to Henry Felch. I believe through circumstantial evidence that Henry is Daniel's father. I have not solid proof. I have found Henry in the 1831 Canadian census listed with 7 children. Since this was a head of household only census I have not idea what the children's names were. I have found Henry and Daniel in the 1842 Canadian census. Again since this was a head of household only census I do not have any further details. I do know that Henry had two wives. One was Patience Blanchard. The other was Nabby Fuller. I suspect that Patience is my Daniel's mother. Any help in solving this puzzle would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Debbe Tipping tipping@ksu.edu My Felch web page is at: http://www.geocities.com/tdgtipping/felch.html It is a little outdated, but gives some information for those interested.

Hi Does anyone know where I could get the British Regiments rosters for the War of 1812. Tim

Just wondering if anyone has a marriage between Rupert MARTIN b. 1881 and Racheal OTTO in their data bank. The marriage would have been in the Richmond area. Thanks Tim

Would anyone know where Riviere St. Claire is located it where my gggrandfather came from in 1835. Thanks everyone.

Parchemin deals with the French period before 1765 or a bit after. Also concerns only French Canadians. Its a lot easier, and 100% if you can find the collection of Inventaire des Greffes des Notaires du Regime Francais. Same as Parchemin but 100% and again its about French Canadians, not English Language folks who came after 1765. Of course if you have English captives who became French Canadians, like the Stuben or Stebenne, you will find the titles of their contracts in there. Notaries after 1765 have to some extent been microformed, but not all. These are in the regional Quebec National Archives (ANQ) and in LDS or genealogical societies as well as the ANQ. After 1890 most notaries would be in theQuebec National Archives (ANQ) after 1920 or so they may be still in the private study of a notary. In the latter case its better to search the Land Registry Office which has duplicates of theses later contracts. Of course Land Records start 1830 and are not familiar ground to people. Not easy to learn, but these will provide info on any notary contract affecting land between 1830 to 2000. Notary records are a valuable resource, depends on the place, time frame and area for your research. Oh yes, outside of the Districts of Bedford, St Francis (Sherbrooke) notaires are in French.

This was sent to me by mistake. I think it was intended for the person who originally posted the request for these names.

I didn't include a time frame in my original query sorry. It would be 1875-1882.

Hi you all St Andrews Presbyterian (Sherbrooke) is available on microfilm, period 1865-1879, 16mm film also has Eaton, Lingwick,Melborne, Richmond, & Shipton Presbyterians. Do not have the film no but if any one wants to buy a copy I can work out a price. The same information is contained in the non catholics repertories (SGCE) in my book web. There may be other records at Bishop's and I will have to dig further in my files.

Hi Listers: Another question I wondered, if St. Andrews would be microfilmed and if anyone would know these film no.s. I would like very much to get a copy of their birth records like I mentioned in the last posting, but not really sure how I can go about doing that. Any suggestions, help, advice always welcome. Thank you, Karen B.C.

Hi All I recently found out that my grandfather, Leslie Cecil Martin who died in 1984 was born April 5, 1916 and the birth was registered with St. Andrews Presbyterian, Sherbrooke, Quebec. I believe that since his father, Gordon Stanely MARTIN was also born in Sherbrooke on Jan 14, 1896 that his birth may also be registered with this same church. Does anyone have any info regarding this or willing to do a look up. My grandfather isn't that long ago, but we never knew him. I had hoped to find him alive, however, looks like he passed away some time ago. Thank you for any help, Karen B.C.
