Hello, After I clicked Send on the last e-mail, I discovered there was a "character" problem. If people cannot read the text of the letter I copy/pasted, please let me know. I will retype it into another e-mail. ...The main purpose of the letter from the County Sligo Heritage Centre was respond to both my e-mail and my slow-mail letter to their office. They are saying that they have considered the matter, and they have decided to accept "one fee" for the research of the 5 .. seemingly directly related KERR and HENDERSON couples. This would mean that, if I sent them "80 pounds" (slightly more in US funds), they would start an "initial search." In the meantime, they are asking for "religion information" which I had forgotten to include in my e-mail and slow-mail letters. Within the past few weeks, I have found out that most of the families were "Wesleyan Methodists" while in Argenteuil County. But, the Wesleyan Methodists only had a church in County Sligo in 1819, which was only a few years before they left Ireland in 1823-1825. So, the people on the Sligo List have suggested that they were .. Methodists ... On additional question the Sligo Heritage Center asked this morning -- was whether anyone had found and read the marriage record of .... (Miss) Elizabeth KERR and Levi MILLER in Argenteuil County. I just checked John Metcalf's web site, and he has them marrying on Feb. 13, 1832, in "St. Andrews, Argenteuil, Quebec, Canada." The lady suggested that Elizabeth KERR's parents' or father's name "might" be on the marriage record. (Levi MILLER was said to have been born in Laconia, NH, USA.) (Levi and two other MILLER men seemingly arrived in Argenteuil County in the 1820's, also.) Also, I've seen "St. Andrews" mentioned as a town a few times, and I wonder whether someone could remind me whether it was a neighboring town to "the former Township of Gore." (Or, was it or is it .. between Lakefield and Lachute?) If anyone wants to help out, I will handle the paperwork. A few years ago I found out that an "international money order" would cost approx. $3-5, and I would need to go remind myself what the "exchange rate" would say would be the total cost in US money. (OR, if someone in Canada wanted to handle the paperwork, I would write a check to them, for say, $30 (U.S.)* Thank you for your time. Enjoy your November weekend ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) *As I mentioned in a previous e-mail, during the summer I stopped a lot of procrastinating, and spent ~$20 U.S. for my great-grandfather's birth certificate from Liverpool, England. (other side of family tree) And, .. a whole new world opened up to me. (I found out my great-grandfather had many cousins in Liverpool when he "was sent to Canada" in 1874.)
