Annals Of Megantic, by Dugald McKillop is the classic for Inverness. First printed in 1902, and since reprinted, is a series of anecdotes, written I believe in the late 1890's, and covering the first settlers in the region. It starts with the arrival of the first groups from Scotland in 1829. Essential for anyone following the lives of these first immigants. Copies available.

Believe the following Rollins families were living at Stanstead in 1851 - would appreciate further info on them, eg children, wives, where they went etc: Rollins John Rollins Tristam Rollins William Many thanks Janice

Greetings All, I didn't buy Sharon's book but did get a complimentary copy as I had given her some help along the way. Yes the book is a tall one, done like mine in a 8.5"x14 coil bound book. By doing it in a landscape fashion you can literally pack the excel tables full of information. Not only does she look at B,M,D, but event place, age at the time of event, parents, spouses, date of issue and any additional tidbits of information that you can list in a excel cell. That's alot of information! But what I found most important is the Issue Date, this will tell you were to find the information to get a printed copy for yourself. Genealogy isn't about transcribed tables but finding the tools to aid in obtaining that newspaper article, obituary, thank you notice, or legal notice in the back of the newspaper. This is what puts "meat" on the bones of those ancestors we are researching. This listed index incompasses the first 47 pages of the book. The second part of the book is 90 pages long and includes full articles and biographies of people as they had originally appeared in the newspapers of the day. Sharon, I was blown away when I saw this. You never -----Original Message----- From: qc-etanglo-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:qc-etanglo-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of P.

Does anyone have confirmation of a birth record for Archibald Clifford Walker? His marriage record to Julia Elfleda MOSHER in 1883 lists his parents as John Walker and Mary C. Clifford and place of birth as Barnston, Stanstead. DOB may be about August 1860. If anyone has marriage info on John WALKER and Mary C. CLIFFORD, that would also be greatly appreciated. (It is possible that Mary's middle initial stands for Celestia; would like to pin that down as well, if at all possible.) Many thanks in advance! Mary

This is a handy list, Pennie. Thanks. Have some of them and have heard of most but not all. Sharon Norton's book is on my list of books to buy (hopefully next pay day). We have sun here this morning!!! It's rained solid for two days. I was beginning to wonder if I should check whether there were any arks available. I think it was yesterday that we broke the "most rainfall in a day" record that was set only three years ago when the entire province flooded. Doesn't bode well, does it? And it was cold - felt more like fall than spring. We're supposed to go up to +12 this afternoon, then around +18/20 for Sunday and Monday, then back down to around +12. As long as it doesn't rain for a few days, that's okay. My sister and her husband are in Italy for a month. Apparently, yesterday they met up with my niece in Rome. She's working in Ireland for four months, then will tour around Europe for two months before coming home (to Ontario). At least that was still the plan when she left in January. Her working visa is for a year though so if she has the travelling bug and doesn't get too homesick, she may change her mind. Good time to do it. Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "P.

I've looked through my copy of Thomas Minor Descendants by John Miner and cannot find the names mentioned so it may be Minard or an unrelated branch of Minor. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

Thanks! I appreciate the lookup - now if I can just find where they went. Wish I had come across baptisms for sons, rather than daughters!

Looking for any info on a Batiste/John MINARD/MINOR who married Charlotte COVEY 20 May 1807 at Alburg, VT. They had daughters: Mary Young MINOR/MINARD, b. 8 Oct 1811 Susannah MINOR/MINARD, b. 2 Jul 1813 Luciana "Lucy" Diadamy MINOR/MINARD, b. 8 Aug 1815 At the time of the three baptisms, the family was of either Christie's or Caldwell's Manor Any info appreciated as I don't see them in any later Caldwell's Manor records after Dec 1815.

Hoping to find parents and/or siblings of Thomas Rollins born about 1850, believe he may have originally come from St Hyacinth PQ but lived for some time in St Albans Vermont. Thomas married Selina/Salina Carrow of Berkshire VT between 1870 and 1874, they lived at Troy VT where some of their children were born: ~Lillian ROLLINS b. March 1, 1875 ~Celia ROLLINS b. March 1877 ~Louisa ROLLINS b. April 5 1879 Thomas, Salina and family may have moved across the border into Canada? The "Rollins" name may not be the original, could have been anglicized in the US? Any info on this family appreciated - I have further information on Salina Carrow's family and willing to share this. Thanks Janice

Hello: I'm looking for information on my ancestor Mary (GRAHAM) HEATHERINGTON. According to census records she was born Ireland, ca 1809. She married Samuel HEATHERINGTON by 1830 when their first child was born. She likely died before 1881 when I don't find her in the census. Children I have found so far for Samuel and Mary HEATHERINGTON of Ste. Brigide, Iberville Co: Elizabeth who m. John JONES (my ggg grandparents) Ellen who m. Alexander STARK Jane Samuel who m. Ann DOUGHERTY John who m. Eliza JONES (niece of above John JONES) Margaret who m. Samuel IRWIN Mary who m. Robert C. JONES (brother of above John JONES) Andrew Barbara I believe this is Samuel HEATHERINGTON's death record: Wesleyan Methodist Church, Farnham: Samuel Hetherington, of St. Brigite, County of Iberville, Province of Quebec, Dominion of Canada, died on the eighteenth day of June one thousand eight hundred and seventy eight at the age of seventy two years, and was buried on the twentieth day of June. But then this could also be Samuel in the 1881 census!

I have also been unable to find the names of her parents. I'm also always happy to talk ancestors with anyone who might descend from these families. Thanks! Chris Chirokas in Massachusetts

Hello, I have the original letter written in 1828 to the widow of Henry Mounsey by her brother-in-law Thomas Mounsey from Charleston extending his condolences to her. (I am still looking for a record with his wife's name on it.) I have a copy of the deed for the land he bought in 1795 in Mississquoi. In the letter, Thomas refers to his brother having "died in Quebec". Because of the time frame, would that mean Quebec City? Henry had been appointed a Justice of the Peace in 1808 in the Mississquoi area so I gather he was a man of some importance. Also, I have copies of some of the claims that were heard by him which were made after the War of 1812-14. (LDS Library, Salt Lake City). I am wondering where to look for an obituary for him. Would there be one in a local newspaper from Quebec City? If he died in Quebec City, would the body be transported back to the Mississquoi/St. John area for burial? Any suggestions about where to look for more information would be greatly appreciated. Regards, Gail Beal gailbeal@vif.com
