When I went to the library to search census for Inverness and Ireland, there was a reasonable map on the microfiche at the beginning of the census report and I just copied it. Don't know if this happens with many of the census records. R Shogan wrote: > Was wondering if anyone would know where I could find a map of the Seigniories of Faucalt and Noyan ca.1820's.

I'm afraid I can't help with the map. From the description it sounds like it would have run north up the east side of the bay, starting a bit north from what is now Philipsburg, to Pike River (route 133). That's the southern most bridge over the river and the river crossing has probably remained in roughly the same spot. There's a road from there (route 202) that heads south west to Venise and then you can follow a road round the edge of the bay and due west through Clarenceville to Noyan. I would like to ask a favor. Is there any mention of the name Schoolcraft in your reference? There are several in the general area and I'm trying to determine which of seven (maybe eight) original settlers were in which towns. > -----Original Message----- > From: R Shogan [mailto:angiebob@shol.com] > Sent: Sunday, March 26, 2000 9:36 AM > To: QC-ETANGLO-L@rootsweb.com > Subject: [QC-ETANGLO] Maps of the Siegniories > > > Was wondering if anyone would know where I could find a map > of the Seigniories of Faucalt and Noyan ca.1820's.

Around East Angus and North Hatley every country road is a natural bike path. Actually most of the Township's is that way. Let me know when you are going as I will speak with my cousin who is Care Taker of Westbury Protestant Cemetery in East Angus, Quebec and he will with luck show you around. It is where my family is also buried and I've was there often as a kid it is quaint.I don't believe he would have access to obits but you never know and he knows every English person in town so he might know someone who can help. Please don't be shy when in town as Quebecer's love to gab and they remember everything.

Hi, I'm looking for information on: William Henry HALL (Oct. 13, 1847 - 1894) He married Ann Jane CORDICK (Sept. 19, 1848 - Nov. 15, 1918) I believe they were born around the Leeds (St. Jacques de Leeds) area. They are both buried at St. James Church (Anglican), Leeds, Quebec. They had at least 2 children: Joseph Charles HALL and Cassie HALL. Joseph (May 11, 1884 - Nov. 30, 1995) was born in Broughton, Quebec and married (Nov. 14, 1908) Mary Agnes Mabel Cameron (March 15, 1888 - June 23, 1951) She was born in East Broughton, Quebec. Mary and Joseph moved to New Brunswick. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you, William Jones

To all who like newspapers:- Here is a way researchers may assist in release of census records -- by writing Letters to the Editor of newspapers. There are at least 15 French-language newspapers, so would appreciate a letter to these papers. I enjoy reading newspapers, even the online editions, some are better than others and changed daily. Other newspapers seem to be posted for months at a time. Regardless, the editions as posted give the "feeling" of the newspaper and editors. I started as a linotype operator at Cape Breton Post when I was 18, moved on to other papers and various positions -- the printed word CAN make a difference. Letters to the Editor are often requested -- so please accept their invitation. The more people writing to newspapers the better, and soon it will be understood from coast-to-coast that we would like to have the 1911 and further censuses released. When writing to a newspaper, a "rule of thumb" is you must give your name and address and phone number. This will be so the editor(s) can make a check to see if YOU wrote the letter. However, you can stipulate "please do not print my name" and it will be recognized. Try to address YOUR letter to one of the editors listed. Bookmark the following as it is a very long URL:- <http://www.webwombat.com.au/intercom/newsprs/canada.htm> Happy writing to the editors!! Let us know if your letter is published. Muriel M. Davidson <davidson3542@home.com> <http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Farm/7843/poll.html>

Thanks for the French Canadian Link. I have paternal line that was just about all French Canadian and my my maternal line was just about all in the Eastern Townships at one time or another so I was pleased that you shared it with us. I found some good information there now just have to check it all out. After doing genealogy research for over 20 years I take leads anywhere I can get them. Thank You!

I think I tried something that apparently does not work on the mail list.

http://www.cyber-surfer.com/DATABASE/surnames.htm I realize this URL will irk some of you but it is an important one as it has French Canadians listed and for the ones on the list that have been kind I feel I must post it as I found reference to one of my surnames from the Eastern Township's and you might also.Happy Hunting Melody(Knapp) Campagna http://www.familytreemaker.com/users/c/a/m/Melody-A-Campagna/

I too get a kick out of reading about people's lives from ole yester years. It kind of gives us a feeling of how things were when our ancestors were alive. Sandy Williams

There were also certainly bears on Mont Sutton (then called Roundhead), and in the vicinity of Glen Sutton, and Dunkin in the 1950's and 1960's. My father used to go bear hunting during that period, but I don't think he ever shot one! There was always the danger when one went to collect wild blackberries and raspberries that bears would be in the area.

All, I'm looking for general leads as well as for some nice person like Pennie who could do some newspaper lookups for me. For my M.A. in the History of Decorative Arts, I am researching the life & work of a woman named Jessie Haven McNicol (ca. 1869-1945). She was originally from Sherbrooke, then moved to the US around 1901, when she was in her late twenties. She designed & published greeting cards in Boston from about 1907-1945, building a business that was worth over $100,000 US dollars when she died. She apparently never married or had children. Her will of 1936 mentions 2 brothers, John (deceased at that time; his widow was Laura Lillian McNicol of Lethbridge, Alberta) and George L. McNicol of Vancouver (still living at that time, but deceased by the time the will was probated in 1945). The will also mentions a cousin, Dorothy Winn Drury of Iberville, Province of Quebec, and a niece, Margaret Constance McNicol, daughter of brother George of Vancouver. By 1945 this niece Margaret had moved to Boston and married a man named George M. Brown. At Jessie's death in 1945 (age 76), her body was sent from Boston to Elmwood Cemetery in Sherbrooke, where she was buried in the family plot with her mother and father. I'd like to locate any living members of the McNicol family who might have information about Jessie McNicol and her business and artistic activities. Any leads at all would be appreciated--but, IN PARTICULAR, is there anyone who has access to local or regional papers from December, 1945? Jessie died on December 9 of that year, and a few days later she was interred at the cemetery in Sherbrooke. I'm hoping that obituaries would have been published locally that would give fuller details than the Boston papers did--especially clues to her early life, artistic training, etc. If anyone can help with this, I can swap lookups in the National Archives down here in Washington DC. Many thanks, Anne O'Donnell __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Talk to your friends online with Yahoo! Messenger. http://im.yahoo.com

I think the articles are of great interest and when I lived there from the 1950's till 1973 there were definitely bears on Stoke Mountain in Compton County where I lived. A lion also escaped from Granby zoo one time and we all thought we had lions for a bit as the Zoo didn't want to panic any one so they never released the news till the lion was caught.LOL It was found on Bruce Rowe's farm two farms from ours. That was also on Stoke Mountain. That would be in the late 60's or early 70's.
