Could someone tell me how I would get copies of the following records:\ Protestant Church Records in Richmond & Drummond "Kingsey Anglican Church" 1840-1910 The Children of George "Thomas" Martin & Sarah Cummins "Cummings" George Martin b. 03 Feb 1842 bpt 22 Jun 1845 Ester (Esther) Martin b. 22 Mar 1844, bpt 22 Jun 1845 Arthur Martin b. 28 Nov 1848, bpt 31 Dec 1848 The death record of Sarah Cummings Martin 08 Jan 1858 She is buried in the Holy Trinity Church Cemetery, Kirkdale.

If any of you have any information on this family and how to get the copies of the records, I would love to hear from you. Bonny

Hi, Sorry if you are on more than one of the lists I am sending this to. I am trying to let as many people know about it as possible. It is a great genealogy chat room and the people are great and helpful. To the list owners, I have permission from Jean to send this to as many lists as I am on. This is not meant to be a spam. Just information to help in finding the lost relative or suggestions in answering questions and problems.

Barb, I've unfortunately have never been there but it sounds like it could be fruitful. try: www.ubishops.ca/etrc-crce/ The University is in Lennoxville, Quebec just outside Sherbrooke. My interest is because they have a Eastern Townships Research Center. I am interested in planning a trip there. :-) Deb Van Dell ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Sherbrooke has both a public library and a history library. I found the personnel at both to be very helpful, speaking limited English, but very understandable to this American. I have been told that the best resources are in the Montreal Library although I have not been there yet myself. Also, if you are searching French-Canadians, the ACGS (American Canadian Genealogical Society) in Manchester NH is one of the best places to visit. Check their web site http:www.acgs.org/ for hours of operation since it is staffed by volunteers.

I am sure you've got a National Achives Depot in Sherbrooke. Bette try to find Archives Nationales http://www.anq.gouv.qc.ca/index.html and you will find the Depot address.

Most of my family was there at the beginning on 1900 and I imagine that you could find everything, both in English and in French. Sherbrooke was mostly English in around 1860 an 1880.

Hello Listers, Today at QFHS - I found a yellow note book - that someone placed in my "box" to catalogue. It would appear to be someone's notebook & I think someone forgot it at the QFHS library. The predominent surnames being researched are STRUTHERS..& SALLS of Lacolle/Phillipsburg area. There is a notation in it giving Patty Brown's E-mail address. (Patty is the lady who has posted the Montreal website) I have left it at the front desk at QFHS - & really hope the reseacher is on this list. Pennie Redmile Librarian @ QFHS

I am just starting my research in the eastern townships and was thinking of making a trip to Sherbrooke. Does the genealogical society or the public archives there have any records in english? I am interested in the period from 1840 to 1890 and am seeking information on Horace Wilson who arrived in Sherbrooke in approximately 1840 and is indentified only as an american. He was a successful businessman and reportedly was a member of the town council for several years.His son,Horace,jr.,was elected mayor of Winnipeg in 1900. I would like to find any information,especially an obituary that list his date and place of birth.If you can help reply to this web site or to Gordon Wilson <apriljd@prodigy.net. Thanks Gordon

Hi Does anyone have any info on a William BEARD - Mary Jane DOYLE marriage about 1880-1890 in and around Richmond. Tim

Hi Christeen All Eastern township records are in Montreal and you use the same request form. They did not charge me for not finding my ggrandfather in any church records there and I gave them the birth date and place. Many families moved back and forth over the border during hard times so check LDS for records in IGI files and USA census. earl

I've found them to be of use only for census films and often those are available at the LDS. If you have been doing US research with the censuses starting in 1790, you are due for a disappointment. The first census that is really available is the 1825 and it is not nominal and only lists head-of-household and head counts. The 1851 is the first nominal census and is very useful if you are researching in that timeframe. Simply ask your local librarian to order the 1851 county census from them. The 1825 information is probably best gotten through Marlene Simmons: http://www.virtuel.qc.ca/simmons/ and she charges a very reasonable fee for the data. > I'm researching Booths, Jones and Heatherington ancestors from 1800s > in Dunham, Shefford, West Shefford, Cowansville, and Farnham.

Marlene has indexed a very large number of the records of there and it is the shortest distance between two points. When I visited the Stanstead Historical Society a couple of years ago, I noted that a high percentage of the books of information they had there were published by her. Always check to see if the LDS have films for towns/counties you are interested in by doing a Place Search at: http://www.familysearch.org/Search/searchcatalog.asp Also visit: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Acres/3500/et.html and the bulletin board at: http://www.stanstead-journal.com/mainframe.html? and: http://www.canadiana.org/cgi-bin/ECO/mtq for your surnames, towns, counties etc. The LDS also have the "Blue Books" on microfilm, "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." a very important resource for ET researchers. Researching in the ET is a little bit "different" :-) but a lot of fun.
