Send your ancestor or society on a trip! Reminder for Boston States Migrations area historical and genealogical researchers and societies who cannot attend NGS 2000 May 31-June 3 Providence RI. You can send flyers about your group's resources for us to pass on to attendees. You can also send 8 1/2" x 11 Wanted Posters for your most stubborn brick wall. If you are attending, please visit The Boston States Migrations and WKRP (Washington County ME/Charlotte County NB Records Preservation) table at the Society Fair on Wednesday evening May 31st from 5:30-8pm. Materials sent to us can then be added to the conference freebee table or retained for the next Boston States Migrations fair, or other regional fairs, at your direction. Over 150 "virtual attendees" sent Wanted Posters to the 1999 Boston States Migrations fair from all over the US, Canada and England. These posters then traveled to the Global Genealogy fair in Ontario, as well as the Gentech conference in San Diego, California. Material for Maritimes researchers also appeared in Sandra Devin's columns. Ruby Cussack's St John Times NB column and queries poster in psycheldelic colors attracted an amazing number of California researchers. Many posters include ancestor pictures. Bold, large lettering and attractive colors are easiest to read. Many, many poster submitters have written to tell me about responses and contacts from the traveling posters! Get your Wanted Poster circulating through the regional fairs - recent statistics suggest that only 10 per cent of family history researchers are on-line. If your local society is hosting a genealogy fair and you would like me to send posters that mention your area, please contact me. WKRP region posters will continue travel to the annual fairs in Maine and New Brunswick this summer in Sharon Howland's Gen-mobile. WKRP's Sharon Howland has published 2 books in a 13 book series with Picton Press from compilations in her 25 years of research in Washington County,ME : "Calais ME Vital Records" and "Alexander, ME Vital Records" By Sharon L.Howland shwkrp@aol.com http://www.pictonpress.com/ Sharon Howland and I will be on hand to answer questions and distribute regional resource flyers. For those who are not familiar with this event, please see details of NGS 2000 at http://ngsgenealogy.org/ Send "Wanted Posters" and resource flyers to: Sharon Sergeant 48 Lake Street Waltham, MA 02451 See you in Providence!

Hi: I have alot of info on these families that lived in the Sutton, Glen Sutton, Mansonville area which I will gladly share. Maybe you have something for me to fill in the blanks or help confirm my data. Roger Tucson AZ P.S. It hit 100 degrees here today for the first time this year. We say the ice broke in the Santa Cruz river (dry river bed).

Folks -- Again I apologize. I decided to fix a few thing on Cleveland C1 with the 1901 census extracts I told you about. In doing so, I blew away the formatting and now have to wait until tomorrow morning when I get back to work where I have the originals Russell send me. Sorry for the inconvenience. Promise to have it corrected by noon.

I was able to barely upload the 1901 census records for Tingwick, Shipton and Cleveland before going away this weekend. I still need to clean them up a little, but I wanted to let you know they were there. I didn't have time to even send a note before leaving. For those of you who did not check the Archives since Friday afternoon, the additions are: Cleveland 1901 census (4 parts) : C1, C2, C3, C4 and Index - extracted and submitted by Russell Saffin. Shipton 1901 census (4 parts) : K1, K2, K3, K4 and Index - extracted and submitted by Russell Saffin. Tingwick 1901 census (2 parts) : L1, L2 and Index - extracted and submitted by Russell Saffin. All to be found within the <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3500/archives.html>ET Archives under Census Extracts. A huge thanks to Russell Saffin for contributing all this hard work, and for being patient while a great deal of time passed before they actually made it online.

The address is: http://huntsville.about.com/mpchat.htm If you would like more information or would like to be put on the private notification list for this chat, you can contact me at my e-mail address. Also, if you need instructions, do not hesitate to write. Have a nice day and Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers and grandmothers. Sue Jones macduff@citrus.infi.net

Hello listers, I could not find the "Richmond Guardian" here in Montreal. - Was told to check out the "Quebec City Chronicle & Telegraph" for the eastern part of the E Twps news . It had some but it was too spread out to be worthwhile. Only found one entry that looked appealing: (Not sure the IOOF is known in USA & futher..but is still in the E Twps..& is the Independant Order of Odd Fellows. On gravestones you'll see 3 links of a chain.. sometimes.. which is their logo. Think each stands for something (such as "truth" & whatever) Quebecer at Danville Richmond Guardian says.. the regular meeting of Golden Rule Lodge # 13 ? IOOF was held on Fri evening last in the comfortable & spacious lodge room & was of more than usual interest on account of the presence of bro.Geo. Gale of Quebec, Grand Warden of the Grand Lodge who was greeted by a large attendance of brothers. After the regular order of business, Bro Gale was called upon for a speech. Page 1 - Oct 17, 1898 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++= Bedford News & Missisquoi Advocate: (all the rest are from this paper under date of Oct 6 1899) Granby: Mr J Keat's Jersey cow died from the effects of the wounds inflicted by the supposed bear or lynx (not lion) as the News erroneously stated last week. St Johns: Mrs Alex Walmsley is again ill being prostrated with an attack of rheumatism & other complications. We are pleased to add, however , that she is making satisfactory progress toward recovery. Capt Naylor has leased the steamer Princess Louise of Kingston, a boat about the same capacity as the Island Queen, to ply on the Richelieu for the remainder of the ths season. She will start on her regular trips the first of next week. We see from a report in the Montreal papers that Mrs Christina Grundy died in that city Mon. deeply regretted . There are several Mrs Grundy's (sic) living in St Johns whose demise we apprehend would not be signalled by any profound manifestation of grief! (can you believe this was in a newspaper???!! ) Huntingdon: 3 redcoats were seen on our streets this week. They are part of a contingent lately returned from the Yukon district & were here on a 10 day leave of absence from St Johns. One of them, Dan McGill is well known to this village. They report law & order in first class shape in Dawson. Glen Sutton: Mrs Martin Courser shot a hawk recently that measured 3 ft 9 inches from tip to tip. Where is the farmer's wife that can beat that? In fact Mrs Courser in the handling of a rifle could evidently put many of the sterner sex to shame. Henry Wilson has purchased the house on the corner near the depot for $275. East Bolton: Mr Henry Ellston recently found one of his horses in the pasture with a bullet wound in its neck from which it died a day or 2 later. It was probably accidental as Henry has no enemies & all are sorry for him Lacolle: A number of witnesses in the Hilliker trial, on route from Alburgh (Vt) to Sweetsburg were detained here for half a day on Mon last, through failure of the trains to connect. Mr & Mrs David Hodgson went to New York to be present at the Dewey celebration. Guthrie: Admiral Dewey did not draw any admirers from this locality to witness his New York parade John Gales is building a granery for Mr Delbert Hosapple this week. Morgan's Corner: A basket social will be held at the home of Mrs Robert Stewart, Morgan's Corner on Fri. evening Oct 6. Supper: 25¢ a couple. All are cordially invited Dunham: It is our sad duty to chronicle the death of one of Dunham's promising sons, Charlton Manville Rublee(?) who succumbed to an attack of tyfoid fever in Prescott Arizona on the 18th(?) of last month. The body was brought here for interment & a memorial service held at the Methodist church. A wide circle of friends mourn the loss of an esteemed friend & sympathize with the stricken family. *********************** The next page contains Coaticook news ..so maybe this paper covered all the E Twps - or nearly all.

I am looking for any information on two different couples marriages. Wesley Galbraith and Helen Catherine Hausen. I believe they were married about 1908 probably in Montreal. Richard C. Lawrence and Madge Hausen. They were probably married in Montreal also. Any information would be helpful. Thank you. Catherine

If anyone is interested, the price is $25.00 Canadian (or $20.00 US, which includes postage); cheques or money orders should be made out to Phyllis Skeats and sent to her at Box 387, North Hatley, Quebec, Canada J0B 2C0. Would you pass the word along to your various listservs and other groups; it's a very well-researched book with a lot of information in it, and I think will be a good resource for people who want to know something about the area (she has included more than 100 colour photographs to accompany the text).
