Hello, Can anyone tell me where Isle aux Noix is located specifically. I believe it is supposed to be on the Richelieu River, but I can't locate it on my maps. Appreciate any help. Thank You Alex Casey

I noticed 'Ditchland' in an Oath of Allegiance circa 1800 and only two residents signed - a William Sax and a Zelotes ?Wation? (I'm certain it starts with a 'Wa' and finishes with an 'n'). I have nothing else on that town...

Hi Just wondering if anyone lives in or near Ditchfield Quebec and could do a look up for me. Thanks Tim

Champlain Bvd. is a long street that runs along the south side of the park where the battle of Quebec was fought, around the end by the lower city and back to finish near the new Autoroute that runs north. As I recall it was about 5 miles long in all. Because it runs so close to lower city and the old town there are many places where he might be buried. I can't help with the rest of the enquiry - I'm not local, not even from Canada. > Is someone familiar with Champlain Street in Quebec City? > What district would it be in and which Protestant Church > would serve that area in the 1860's?

Hello List! Is someone familiar with Champlain Street in Quebec City? What district would it be in and which Protestant Church would serve that area in the 1860's? I am looking for the death and burial of James Lloyd, who was a teacher. On the 1851 census it shows that he and his family are living in the schoolhouse on Champlain Street. Also, would there be somewhere to write and ask for the records of people who taught school in that time frame? Thanks for your help. Carol Wright Coquitlam, B.C. cricket56@home.com

I am trying to find out what is the origin of this surname "Estnesse" or "Estnasse" would it also be recorded as "Annas, Annise" The person I am inquiring about is my ggrandmother Mary Annas but she also signed Estnasse on some records, anybody have any idea? Thanks everyone. Sue

Would anyone know if non-catholic marriages in the Eastern Townships would be listed in any way at the Quebec Archives? I'm planning to go back to the Rouyn-Noranda office shortly and it would help to know where to look. Thanks, Cecile.

>From what I understand Vermont was at various times considered part of Canada until around the late 1700s when it finally became a US state. How has this affected records etc? Are some Vermont records held in Canada or could they have been included in notary records and if so which ones? Janice

Hi you all Notary records are the great untapped genealogy family history resource in Quebec. They start about 1608 and go right up to now. After 1880 or so the originals may not be microfilmed, before that most are available at your local Archives National du Quebec or in case of Sherbrooke, at the SGCE which was the topic of my earlier email, about 3 days ago. Marlene Simmons has an excellent article on this topic, if you have not seen it go to http://www.virtuel.qc.ca/simmons/ Basically each town had one or more notaries, and the Townships were lucky, quite a few wrote English contracts. So it a matter of picking the town, date and finding out what notaries practiced there. So I do not promise a quick answer, but thats my speciality.If you would like to know more, let me have your needs by date and town on email. Will do my best to answer within ten days.

Oops! Sorry...I returned my reply to the list by error.! Sorry to all!

Sorry list,-- Marilyn Gordon corresponded with me off list and we are cousins, your email bounces when I try you at the two addresses you gave me. Please correspond!!! Thanks -- Julia Dalgleish Sauter, Saskatoon, Canada Searching Dalgleish, Rutherford & Heriot in Scotland Searching Thackeray & McQuarrie & Kearney in Ontario........... To some it's just a hobby, to Me it's much more, I learn the joys and heartaches of those that went before. They loved, they lost, they laughed, they wept - and now, for me, They live again in spirit, around the FAMILY TREE.

Karen, The name MARTEL occurs a number of times in "Registres Paroissiaux St. Frederic de Drummondville 1816-1876". These MARTELS were from Wickham and Grantham. Michael

Would anyone have a suggestion(s) of what cemetery someone might be buried in (circa 1830-45) If an individual lived "on the road between Dunham and Farnham". Religious affiliation - if any - would probably have been Anglican or Methodist. Thanks

I am trying to find information on John Jones who was one of the original grantees of E. Farnham in 1798. Does anyone know if there are any published listings of the protestant cemeteries of E.Farnham? I'm hoping to find if he is connected with John Jones of Shefford and his son John Jones Jr. of Dunham/Cowansville who married Elizabeth Heatherington and Eliza Booth. Thank you in advance for any suggestions. Christine

Recently someone gave me info. concerning an old cemetary/church however, located in the Beauce...but I thought perhaps someone might have this info.... I am particulary searching to find out if there is someone who would know of those persons buried in the 2nd Frampton cemetary(or a contact)...not Springbook, but the 2nd one...I believe it is right next to St.Machie, rue Principale. thankyou.

I am wondering if someone could advise me on what the actual name is of where people in Québec recorded their wills etc. with notaries...and how one would go about getting some information from these records. Thankyou.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone had any information on this couple or their family. Nathaniel Obadiah Bunker was born around Dec.1804 in Waterbury, Chittenden, VT. He married Lucinda Clemons (birthplace unknown) abt. 1832 in Newton Junction, Rockingham, NH. They had at least three children: Cordelia, Daniel Dominion (married Veldora Amanda Whitcher), Caroline Victoria (Hyram Hoyt Clemons) and possibly a Lucinda. Before December 1838, they moved to Bolton, Quebec, Canada. This family must have stayed in the Bolton area for sometime, because my g-grandfather Charles (Caroline's son) was also born in Bolton. Family history says that the Clemons' were definitely French Canadian and that the Bunker's where Hollander Dutch. Also, can anyone tell me what the attraction was in Vermont and New Hampshire between the years of 1804 and 1842. Caroline's father was born around 1804 in Vermont, married 1832 in New Hampshire and Caroline's husband (Hiram) was born in Barre, Vermont around 1842. What type of work was available in the Chittenden and Washington Co. areas around this time span? I think that I had heard that there were large rock quarries???? Any information would be appreciated! Regards, K'Lynn in Oregon

Is Canada East the > same as Eastern Townships, or is it located elsewhere in Canada??? Canada East is Quebec so it could have been in the Eastern Townships or elsewhere in Quebec. Lower Canada is another term that was used for Quebec.
