The main website for that newspaper is: http://www.starnews.com/ and they have a "Contact Us" at: http://www.starnews.com/custserv/contact.html If I were in your situation, I would contact them and ask for assistance. Who knows? you might be giving them welcome material for another story! Good luck Bob

Hi Listers! I believe last fall or winter, there was a newpaper article floating around from the Indiana Star. It was about a man who was hired as a cemetery restorer by the state of Indiana. Did anybody save this article on paper or on disk?? The hyperlink does not work anymore. The reason why I am asking is because St. George's Parish in Drummondville is looking for suggestions or someone with expertise on how to restore a cemetery that has been battered by weather and worse yet vandalism. This man who restores cemeteries in the United States may be able to help this parish. Kathleen BROCK Edmonton, AB

Judy Youngs Kennedy Thank you for your response to my query. >YES, YES, YES >BRITISH HOME CHILDREN in CANADA Through the internet I found the Home Children connected to our family. I posted the query and immediately received an email and shortly thereafter a letter and the statistics on our two children. The grandmother sent the two boys to an orphanage in London without their mother knowing...she was living in Burmah at the time and the children were sent to live with their grandmother after the family was abandoned by the father. The children were in the orphanage for a number of years before being sent to Canada. Fortunately, several months after their arrival in Canada the mother discovered what had happened to her two sons and she rescued them. They remained the rest of their lives in Canada and have many fine descendants. This story had a happy ending...not all children were so fortunate. Our Home Children were sent to Canada through Fegans Child and Family Care. There is a fellow in Brantford who is the holder of Fegan Canada Records. Douglas Fry may be contacted at <903115@ican.net>. It cost $10 for the records I received and I think that is quite reasonable. Regards Roberta Kerr

I am trying to find the origins of two brothers who settled in Leeds, Megantic, Co. ca. 1839. Joseph McHarg died 1887 and David McHarg died 1877. Does anyone know of newpapers that might have served Leeds during this period of time -- specifically, I am hoping to find an obit. for one or both of the brothers that might contain information about where they came from in Northern Ireland. I have copies of some newpaper notices from the Leeds area -- one is a list of church members who indicate they will not support a particular church while the pastor is in charge -- this article is dated 1902 and happens to include an obit for James Thompson. I am hoping to find a similar obit for either David or Joseph -- I realize the odds are probably better of finding this info for Joseph because of his later death date. Any info on newspapers in the 1877 -- 1887 timeframe and where to look for them would be appreciated.

Hi: Does anyone know the address of the National Library of Canada? Thanks. Roger Tucson AZ

Hi Thanks to the posting of the 1901 census I have came up with a couple of new names and am wondering if anyone has them in their database. Louis RIEF maried Julia Ann BEARD and had the following children: Walter RIEF b. 1878 Forrest RIEF b. 1883 Any takers? Tim

Would anyone know where to get info. on the Methodist Church, near Inverness....specifically who is buried in their cemetary...

I am searching for a Gloria Wallace who has lots of info. on the Presbyterians of the ET and Beauce region...does anyone happen to know her e-mail address?

Hi List, Just a reminder that if you had any relatives that went over to Canada, we are having the Canada genealogy Chat this evening 7 - 9 EST (US time). Hope to see you all there. Maybe that brickwall or help in researching will finally come through. The address is: http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm If you need any help at all, let me know before the chat begins so I can answer your e-mail and give you directions and suggestions.

Hello! I am sending this post to Montreal list as well as the Quebec and Eastern Counties list, as I do not know where David Brown resided before or at the time of his marriage to my great-grandmother, Amelia STRACHAN. Hope this is OK. My line comes from Amelia's second husband, Henry BONNETT, but I am interested in filling in all of the family history. I have only recently learned the given name of my great'grandmother's 1st husband, (the mysterious Mr. Brown) from the 1881 Illinois (USA) marriage record of their daughter Sarah E. BROWN, born in Mass, USA in 1860. I am looking for a David BROWN (possibly BRAUN), probably Scottish Presbyterian, who could have been living in Chateauguay Co, QUE before 1860. He may have been born about 1820-1830. David BROWN's wife was the former Amelia STRACHAN / STRAND (she was b. 1830 to Alexander STRACHAN and Ellen SIM, who lived in the Jamestown area near Ormstown. ) After their marriage before 1860 (?), time and place unknown, David and Amelia may have moved to MASS. in the USA, and he later may have served in the American Civil War. Family tradition says that during or shortly after this conflict, he either was killed, died or deserted or simply disappeared and was not heard from again by his wife. (Don't know which county in Mass. to look for them in 1860 census!) This is the only info I have on this mysterious Mr. BROWN. Any info on David BROWN would be vastly appreciated.

What was the web site for the following: 1901 Census submitted by Russell Saffin Many thanks, Heather

<In searching the 1901 Census submitted by Russell Saffin (thank you <Russell) I noticed two boys ages 7 and 9 years were farm labourers. Was <this common in 1901 Eastern Townships? Regards Roberta KERR Hello Roberta and list YES, YES, YES BRITISH HOME CHILDREN in CANADA For more information about children like this please take a look at these new sites. There were over 100,000 children sent to Canada 1870-1940, some as young as 2 years old. Take a look maybe you may find your missing person among them. Most of these children did not talk about this and usually hid their past. There were several receiving homes in the Eastern Twp's where these children were sent until they were placed, some were adopted. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~britishhomechildren/ or http://www.cadvision.com/psnow/waifnorstray.htm or http://www.archives.ca/exec/naweb.dll?fs&020110&e&top&0 The archives has a database with some of these children and they are still adding to it. There are several other databases on these pages listing these children and also a place to submit any children found on 1881, 1891, 1901 census by anyone. Researching my grandfather WILLIAM (Luke) YOUNG(s) who may be one of these British homechildren. I located him in Potton Twp, Eastern Township Quebec on the 1901 census. He died when my dad was only 7 yrs old and we never knew he lived in Canada but knew he was born in England. All we ever knew was his name and death date. His birth date Dec. 22 is consistant but each document I have obtained listed him born between 1877- 1883. I sent for a U.S. WW1 draft notice even though he was not a citizen of the U.S. And was most surprised when it arrived in the mail. He listed having a sister and her name and address as nearest relative. I proceeded to locate a living son of the sister and he told me that my grandfather was not related but was a "hired farm boy" on his grandfather's DARIUS ADAMS farm in Mansonville or the PROUTY'S farm in South Bolton but that he grew up with his mother. WILLIAM YOUNG(S) is listed with a GUY and SARAH WHITE in Potton Twp. and they are related to either the ADAMS or the PROUTY's as the living son confirmed. The son even knew William sometimes went by the name LUKE so I was sure I had a match. My grandfather may have married after 1901 in this area. He is a widower on the marriage cert. to my grandmother in 1923 in Springfield MA. He is listed as being Church of England as religion on the 1901 Canadian census. Please help....we have no past...no known relatives and so many of us are desperately trying to find someone. If anyone can provide any information or direction to learn more about my grandfather's life in the Eastern Township of Canada please respond, look through any resources you may have.

Okay., I know I am going out on a limb here...but I am running out of ideas...all the bureaucrats, and head office of churches etc...including National Archives in Québec, seem totally stumped on this one. The church itself was closed in 1959...open since the early 1800's, and I have been informed (after checking who owns the property via the municipality...since no one not even the church knew ) the Presbyterian Church still owns the property...but I am trying to find out how one gets a copy of the map type item that indicates where the bodies are buried in the cemetary, as it is supposidly still open for buriels.... as well...I am trying to locate something that would give me the names of the last members of the church....as our last uncle that had this knowledge, and took care of the cemetary passed away last night, and no one seems to be able to tell me how to go about taking over this responsibility for the upkeep of the Cathcart/Rainey/Breakey cemetary... any suggestions would be appreciated...and yes, have checked with the National Archives, the Soc. Géneologie of Québec...Patrimoine de la Beauce - geneology....and even the Presbyterian Church of Canada! been there, and done all that.... does anyone know any surviving elders of the church? Supposidly there is a Murielle Mayhew somewhere out there... thanks as always to everyone, Theresa Coleman

Greetings Listers! I have found several links to the surname SAVAGE in my trees. I have been doing some reading on the family recently too. Can anybody tell me who where the children of Captain John SAVAGE and his wife Ann PRATT?? Thank You Kathleen BROCK Edmonton, AB

Hello, I believe there is in existence a book by M.O. Vaudry on the Life of Capt. John Savage of Shefford, printed I think about 1921. I have seen it a few times and I know one place that owns a copy is the library at the University of Vermont in Burlington. I have looked at it for it contains several mentions of my Bell family. Miss Vaudry in turn got much of her information from Lower Canada land records, from Ottawa. Good luck, Brian

Kathleen: In 1992 I published a 426 page family history, The Savage Family of Shefford, which details many of the descendants of Abraham Savage and Mary Barnes, the parents of Capt. John Savage of Shefford. Its foundation is certainly the work done in the 1920's and before by Mary Olive Vaudry, but it attempts to pull together and sort out, using records which were probably unavailable to Mary Olive, the intertwined branches of the Savage family who settled in Shefford in 1792 and then exploded across the continent starting in the mid 1800's. Many of the early families of Shefford and that part of the Eastern Townships, are connected to the Savage family simply because of the vast number of descendants Capt. John and his siblings produced. The children of Capt. John Savage and his wife, Ann Pratt, were Abraham, John, Lydia, wife of Hezekiah Wood, Anna, wife of John Allen, Rhoda, wife of John Clark, Mary, wife of Silas Lewis, Olive (christened Olivia but always referred to as Olive), wife of William Augustus Garlick and Joseph Plumer Savage, who according to family tradition was adopted by the Savages as a 14 year old about 1808. Edward Savage, the younger brother of Capt. John was the father of Abraham, Magdaline, wife of Thomas Spencer, Peter, James, John Edward, Mary, and Richard. Hope this helps.

Below is an except from notes my grandmother that she did on genealogy sometime before 1940: Eli Bordeaux I immigrated from France to Canada. Eli Bordeuaux III left LePraire, Canada, with his family, in the night, during a war with the Indians. He and his family were buried in Malone. Allen Bordeaux attended Franklin Academy in Malone. For three years he studied to be a priest-maybe in Vallyfield. He built a house next to the Academy in Malone. It burned down and he built another. He died Mar 19, 1917 and was buried in N Bangor with his wife Julia (Hutchins) who died Feb 4 1918. I have never found any record of any Eli Bordeaux. Has anyone run across Eli in their research? Anyone researching William Hutchins and Julie Beauprie who might have come from that area? Dick Young
