    1. Re: [QC-ETANGLO] Lucinda Brown
    2. A Daniel Brown was married to Lucinda Filer on Jan. 6, 1824 in Alburgh, Vermont. Therefore, this Lucinda Brown was possibly an aunt by marriage & your Lucinda Brown was named after her? Perhaps not related, but I remembered that entry from the ET website.

    1. [QC-ETANGLO] Schoolcraft and Stone
    2. David J. Ellis
    3. >From the various Notarial repertoires recently put up by Ancestry I have one that is puzzling me. Does anyone have any idea or information why Leonard Schoolcraft (of St. Armand/Potton) would be using an alias of "Stone" or how to find out about that? Notarial Records, Edmund Clement, #3204, #3205, Apr 12th 1855: Exchange ?sutre? Mefsrs James Slade Allen junior and Leonard Peter Schoolcraft alias Stone Notarial Records, Edmund Clement, #3205, Apr 12th 1855: Deed of Sale from Mr. Leonard Peter Schoolcraft alias Stone to Robert McCackill Esq. Background: Leonard is enumerated in St. Armand East in 1852 and Potton in 1861 and thereafter. While there is a substantial marital relationship between Schoolcraft and Stone in St. Ignace de Stanbridge it occurred in a branch it was with Leonard Schoolcraft's great aunt and thus unlikely to be significant.

    3. In that line of the family twins and triplets were common as well as red haired children. I live in Hanksville Vt in the winter and Swanton Vt in the summer but in St.Albans there was a set of Vol that brought the tracey line back to the person who stabbed Thomas Beckett if you can believe that, and some Norse viking people, it had alot of info. And there were DAR lines in it as well. Akiens go back to a Rogers family from Braddford Vt, said to be related to the Rogers Rangers leader. Its' kind of ironic for me because my fathers' side is Abenaki and Mohawk and Tories. Where as my mothers' side is full of Revolutionary War supporters and Indian fighters. There was a Tracey that was brother to ours who lived in Franklin Vt who was a "basket maker" so someone on line jumped on that and tried to claim he was abenaki. When I tried to correct that assumption I was accused of being racist. I am a card holding abenaki and die hard pow wower. In some of the old genealogies I have found statements (Millers and Hillikers) that the families just happened to wander that far above the border and didnt know that they were in Canada, and it just so happened to be in the late 1780s. In some cases I wonder if that is why people did not list their parents. In the case of my ancestor Rufus Reynolds who lived in Franklin Vt both his grandfathers had land confiscated in Vt- so perhaps that is why he never listed parents in his marriage document.

    3. My grandmother was Lillian McGown and Charles was her grandfather.Mary Traceys' father was Jonathan Tracey married Freelove Miller who was from Sutton Quebec. I believe this is a well published family and I believe her father was Thaddeus Miller married to Polly Aiken in Sutton in 1838. So the reason they married in Sutton is because Miller family was quite large.

    3. Hello Everyone, Reminder: The QFHS conference in June will be available at the cheaper rates only untl March 31st. Yes there will be a speaker dealing with Eastern Twp research as well as an expert speaking on land registry offices & how to access data via the internet, from anywhere in Qc. For those of you who don't already know, it is very hard (& expensive, if the notary is known) to gain access to notary records after 1900. The land registers often include "wills" & such - & yes these can all be accessed on line. The speaker will tell us how to do this. Since I last informed you of the conference, two new speakers have been added. For all details please go to www.qfhs.ca & look for Roots 2007. Bye now Pennie

    1. [QC-ETANGLO] Giligan Family
    2. James Gray
    3. Researching my Grandmother (paternal side) who was born in Quebec on 2nd December,1880. Her name was Mabel Grace GILIGAN and she appears on 1881 Canadian Census for Stanbridge,Missisquoi,Quebec aged 1 year and residing with the following: Edward GILIGAN,(56) -Married -Irish Origin - born Quebec -Labourer - Church of England Ester GILIGAN (34) -Married - English Origin -born Quebec -Methodist (presume wife of Edward) Mary GILIGAN (28) -single -English Origin -born Quebec -Church of England Edward GILIGAN (13) - English Origin -born Quebec -Church of England Eddy I GILIGAN (11) -English Origin -born Quebec -Church of England Mabel Grace GILIGAN (1) -- my Grandmother. Mabel Grace GILIGAN was a Nuresmaid to young children of a family called McVean who were living in Canada (Presumably Quebec) and when that family decided to return to Scotland, she accompanied them. At that time she was 14 years old(1894/5). I am attempting to discover when and how she travelled to Scotland -ship,dates etc. I understand Mabel Grace GILIGAN may have been illegitimate. Her mother was away from home and working in Quebec and she was apparently brought up by her Grandfather(Edward GILIGAN?) and a step Grandmother (Ester GILIGAN?). She had supposedly a sister but not known wherther older or younger but no sister shown on 1881 Census. Who were Edward(13) and Eddy I(11) then? I suspect that the only other female in the household - Mary GILIGAN - may have been the Mother. Mabel Grace GILIGAN, on her wedding Certificate in Scotland gives her Mother`s name as Mary SMITH ! Perhaps her Mother married a Smith after 18881 Census. I am keen to trace the Giligan family after 1881 Census - my Grandmother obviousely did not communicate with the family after coming to Scotland. Mabel Grace GILIGAN married a Gray and died in Scotland in 1966. Would anyone be able to provide information on the family. Was Stanbridge the home of the Giligan family? - have checked the 1911 Canadian Census but no mention of Giligan family in Stanbridge or anywhere else. Any assistance would be appreciated.
