Hi Listers - have had such great response to my query of MacIvers in Lac Megantic. No problem solved yet but think I should have been more specific when I originally went on the list for help. The area my folks were in was Lac Megantic not Megantic, I am trying to find a birth record for my grandmother and her twin sister, dob May 5, 1876. Apparently they do not appear in the book "Anglo Protestants of Megantic County 1826-1801" vitals. They are Christie and Katie MacIver, twin daughters of John "west" and his wife Cathering Morrison MacIver. John and his wife Catherine were both born in Quebec, Scotstown/Marston/Sherbrooke area. They disappear from the census after 1881 as they moved their family to North Dakota for some 12 years, then again uprooted and went up to Saskatchewan where they settled, children married, raised families and died there. The 1881 census of Lac Megantic, Compton Cty. #54 entries 19 and 20 show them with their children but minus the twin Katie and also a son John, must have been away somewhere for the day of the census. Most of the MacIvers of my line are buried in Echo Vale, Gould, and Gisla Cemeteries. As I said, I received great response and have some addresses now to write to other than the Thetford Mines address. Thanks so much List! Any other advice would be appreciated as well now that I have pinned down the area better?

I want to thank you all for the wonderfull information I've received privately. This is what it's all about, sharing ideas and information. Just wanted to let you all know how much this helps those of us that are not local and just haven't a clue most days how things are run up there. Just finding the counties can be a chore at times : ) Thanks a lot Cathy Miller Tecumseh, MI

My search for my Grandparents on my Mother's side has led me to Quebec. As I do not speak French I have had little luck in finding any information. Most I the sites are in French. I have post cards with addresses dating from 1904 to 1910. My Great Grandmother's name was ANNIE GOODMAN, she married HENRY HAUSEN. They had at least one son HARRY HAUSEN and at least 4 daughters, MADGE, ALICE, HELEN CATHERINE, and ??. Madge married RICHARD C. LAWRENCE. Helen married WESLEY GALBRAITH. Alice married "PUGGIE" SKINNER. They lived in St. Jerome, Terrebonne and then moved to 92 Somerville, Westmount, Montreal. Any information would be extremely helpful. I have found nothing at all on the Hausen family anywhere. Thank you. Catherine In Riverside, California

Penny Thank you so much for your response to my query. My ancestors arrived from Scotland in 1867 briefly settling in Compton County. They bought property at 1244 Spooner Pond Road on which the original house still stands although not occupied by KERRs. There were 10 children (plus 2) in this KERR family and although we have three lines searched up to today, we are still hoping to locate the others. Some never married, some migrated to the U.S., and others spread throughout Canada. If I have my directions correct Richmond is west of Sherbrooke. There are many cousins still in the area and this summer I will be visiting and searching the Eastern Townships for dead people as well as their descendants. Regards Roberta KERR Turner Valley, Alberta.

I am looking for anyone who may have information, or even better be a descendant, of Henry McGill de Riverie and Elizabeth Gillie des Riverie. They were married in Ottawa, Canada and resided in Ontario, Quebec, and probably several other provinces. They were last known to be in the Saginaw County, Michigan area in the 1940s or so. Their descendants may be using just "McGill" as their surname. Any information would be greatly appreciated and 100% more information than I have right now. Sincerely, Kevin O'Brien Laguna Hills, CA Researching: Shannon Perkins Warner Dorchester Van Schaick Gorman Pinkerton Gauley Lowe Gillie Halley Smith (Jefferson County, NY's Smith's)

Does anyone have the address of the Hatley Historical Society? Thanks in advance.

Listers - my first submission to this list. I have been trying to find the record of births for my Grandmother and her twin sister. The names are Christie and Katie McIver and their parents John and Catherine (Morrison) McIver farmed in the Megantic area. The birth date I have is May 5, 1876. A couple years ago I had many correspondence with the Archives in Thetford Mines, I wrote, apologizing for my lack of french and asked for communication in English. That didn't happen, I had 3 responses all in French and when I got them translated it was to say that they required xxx amount of dollars to do my research. Because I felt research wasn't necessary as I have the names and dates I finally gave up and quit persueing the subject. I would gladly pay for the paperwork involved with obtaining this record and the fee assigned to it but did not want someone doing my research for me at a cost. I felt it was a communication/language problem that I couldn't get passed. Is their a particular film or book that I could order to copy the information I need for that time frame and area? I don't have the twins proper names, only knew of them as Christie and Katie and this is what I am looking for plus it is always great to have a copy of the record. Their older sister Annie was born in Whitton so did not want my record search to be confined to Megantic as it could well have been a neighboring area. Can someone on this list advise me on this problem. The Religion was Presbyterian (spelled wrong I'm sure) My great grandmother Catherine Morrison was a relative of Donald Morrison of the Outlaw fame, I believe they were siblings. This Catherine married John "the West" McIver in the Megantic area, parents to the twins.

Hi all, I am not new to the list but would just like to re-post a question. Does anyone have information on the Eryou family line from the Beebe, Rock Island, Magoon's Point, Fitch Bay area. Also does anyone have an web address to search for Canadians, a Canadian version of Ancestry.com? Thanks Rebecca

To all. I recently posted here, that the following publication: La Société De Généalogie Des Cantons De L'Est Inc., Sherbrooke, QC, Canada, Quebec: Births, Marriages, Deaths 1815-1879 District of St Francis from the Church Records of sixteen religious denominations, catholics not included.. was available on microfilm through the LDS Church and it's FHC's. On double-checking myself on that this afternoon, I discovered that the LDS Church does have the books, but that there is no microfilm available and books are not available at FHC's, only microform. My apologies to all for the misinformation. Bob

I also greatly appreciate your time and efforts. I wonder if there is any mention of Bury in these newspapers. I had a family come in there about 1903, wonder if they mention newcomers to the area and who and where they came from, that sort of thing.

I am interested in finding any information on my Mother's family. ANNIE GOODMAN, my GGrandmother, married HENRY HAUSEN. They lived in St. Jerome, Terrebonne, or at least Annie did. They may have also had a house at 92 Somerville, Westmount, Montreal, or at least by 1907 they did. It might have been owned by RICHARD C. LAWRENCE. Annie and Henry had at least one son, HARRY HAUSEN, and at least 4 daughters, HELEN CATHERINE HAUSEN, my Grandmother, MADGE HAUSEN, ALICE HAUSEN and ???. Helen married WESLEY GALBRAITH about 1908. Wesley died about 1910. Madge married RICHARD C. LAWRENCE. Around 1910, Harry, Helen Alice, Annie, Madge and Richard moved to Winnipeg. I was told that they had a farm. I know it was not in Winnipeg and doubt it was in Montreal, so I assume it was in Terrebonne. I know that they kept the farm after they moved to Winnipeg and went there often. Please, any information would be greatly appreciated and helpful. Thank you for your time. Catherine

My Martin Line was very dark and always thought to be of Native Descent. Were there any Martin families in the Eastern Townships that had any history of Mohawk or Micmac descent. My Thomas Martin born around 1800 was married (1825) to Sarah Cummings b. 1802, Vermont, and their daughter Jane born 1826 had grandchildren that were very dark, family history from the States says that there was Native in the family from Quebec. Thanks Bonny

Could anyone tell me how I can locate my Martin Family that may have gone back to the States to fight in the Civil War from Kirkdale, Durham Quebec. Specifically Arthur born 28 Nov 1848; George b. 3 Feb 1842; Edward b. 04 Nov 1833 and Henry b 06 Sept 1839. Also their father Thomas Martin disappears from the area but he probably would have been too old to join. He would have been born around 1800, so in his 60's. Would men of that age be accepted to fight in the Cival war. I have a list Martins who were in the Cival war, from the Vermont Cival War - Surname Index. There is a Thomas, South Hero 2 Inf, G A few Henry Martins, one South Hero, 12 Inf. C.An Edward Westfield, 15 Inf, H. If there is any history that would be useful, I would like to hear about it. I had heard that there were recruiters in the area. Thank you very much, Bonny

Pennie - keep up the good work! Sue

Pennie I greatly appreciate your posting these newspaper items. I look forward to reading more and more....keep up the good work! Regards Roberta KERR

Hello Listers, Today was THE day that I found a newspaper that gave the sort of info I had originally thought about..in posting to this list. I have maybe a half hour per week (or 2 weeks) to collect data for you - & the Sherbrooke Record & the Granby Leader Mail did not give a lot in a short space..! However the "Bedford Times & Advocate" seems perfect!! The first issue I have access to - Oct 6 1899 contains all the following gems: Page 2 - under Knowlton's Landing (near Potton & Mansonville) Robert George received $5. as compensation for the loss of 12 sheep that were killed by dogs, & still there are others. Page 2. under South Stukely: Arthur Smith - a young Englishman who has been working for Mr A McPherson , was recently taken to RV hospital (This would be the Royal Victoria Hosp) in Montreal on 17 Sep with an acute attack of appendicitis. News was received next day that the patient has been operated on & was then low. Page 2 under South Stukely: Wm Dimmick was thrown by a run away horse from a wagon loaded with apples & fortunately was not seriously hurt. Page 4: South Stukely A meeting was held at Jerry Johnston's hotel on the 27th (Sept) to enlist young men for settlement in British Columbia- was not attended with enthusiastic success Page 4 : South Stukely Joseph Whitehead , while driving from Waterloo one evening last week, in the woods west of here, came suddenl y in close contact with a large bear. The horse took fright & ran. Mr W's (sic) was the worst injury sustained. Page 4: South Stukely Mrs Ernest Rollins was thrown from her carriage on the 19th ult . She received several bruises but is not seriou sly the worse for her mishap. Page 4: Covey Hill James O'Neill of Iowa was renewing old acquaintances here last week . It is about 23 yrs since Mr O"Neill visited the home of his childhood on the hill. Page 4: Covey Hill Potato digging is in progress. The crop is not only very good but the tubers are very pure- not showing the least sign of rot. Page 4: Covey Hill John Smith , who left here in the early part of the Spring to pay a visit to his old home in England is guest of Postmaster Orr Page 4: Covey Hill Wm Stevenson of Mooers Jct NY has been appointed collector of customs at the port - in place of Mr M Fitch . That's all I had time for today.. but will continue next chance I get..if you all are interested in these. I don't know if any of you want want p/copies of any -- that they'll reproduce as the print is very small & the writing quite faded. My hope is that these newspaper items will give us all a better understanding of day to day life of the people of the E Twps around the turn of that century. If we find this newspaper only includes the western E Twps..I'll try to find one that includes the eastern sector. Let me know (privately) if you want me to continue posting these -- as my decision to continue will rest with you. Pennie
