Looking for the marriage details and the parents of... Damase LEBEAU & Marie BEAUCHESNE The ONLY data I have is Marie BEAUCHESNE Born Jul 1852 Died Apr 01 1923 Verner, Ontario

Hi Mike, If it's the St-Remi in Napierville, I have that marriage rep. Who are you looking for? Jackie Hostage

I am looking for ancestors of my great grandfather Parents of Nazaire MERCIER: who married Georgianna Couture, April 24th, 1886, St Barnards Parish, Dorchester, Quebec Henri MERCIER married Julie LeBRUM parents of Nazaire, WHO were parents/ancestors of Henri MERCIER and Julie LeBRUM? Children and their marriage partners of Henri and Julie? Who were siblings and their husbands or wives? Georgianna COUTURE parents were Pierre COUTURE and Marie LaBRECQUE I now have a birth of Wilfred MERCIER in Rochester, NH in April of 1886 and am wondering if his older brothers, Joseph, Aselme and George were in fact not the children of Nazaire's first wife Victorine BEDARD, daughter of Edouard BEDARD and Sophie DEMERS. They married August 14, 1871 at St. Flavien if information I have searched is correct. Harriet in NH

Does anyone recognize the names of the two persons below? They are fairly recent and so maybe someone can tell me about the HEFLIN?

For all Canadians -- As this is the week of Remembrance Day, Nov. 11 -- your Member of Parliament or your Senator might be in his or her home riding for the entire week.[We are appreciative of the work done by our American friends, but a fair bit of distance for personal visits] Please check the following two sites: Members of Parliament http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index6.htm Senators http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census/Senscore1.htm A personal visit or a letter to the constituency office might be very helpful - if needed. As a courtesy, it might be appropriate not to bother any with the GOLD tick. We need to think of the others. Remember, Bill S-18 was presented Nov. 2nd by Senator Lorna Milne -- the safe passage of this non-restrictive governmental Bill will ensure all census records from 1911 to 2001 records will automatically be transferred within the specified time limit -- 92-years following enumeration. Please remember, messages to or replies received should be copied to either Gordon Watts or myself. Looking forward to more replies. Lest We Forget - names of all who served in World War One will be on the 1911 census enumeration! Muriel M.

Hello, As I continue to look for information on a MILLER family who went to Canada somewhere around 1800 (from U.S.), I just came across this MILLER family in the 1881 Census for Ontario: Peter MILLER M Male 39 O <Ontario> Farmer ...icter...in MILLER M Female 19 Q <Quebec> Victerine MILLER Female <1 Born: Aug; 9/12 O <Ontario> Joseph MILLER W Male 100 Q <Quebec> Catherin CHISHOLM W Female 33 O <Ontario> Female Farmer ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- Source Information: Census Place Lochiel, Glengarry, Ontario Family History Library Film 1375863 District 99 Sub-district D Division 2 Page Number 6 Household Number 21 This was on the LDS web site: www.familysearch.org I noticed that Joseph MILLER living in the home was ..100.. years old (for the 1800's that was pretty good). He was born in Quebec ~1781 !!! And, I also noticed that the Mrs. Margaret CHISHOLM living in the home with them was listed as a .. female farmer ! .. I am looking for a MILLER family who moved from the U.S. to Canada / Quebec anytime between 1770 and 1800. Levi MILLER was reportedly born in NH in 1790, but I'm wondering if he was actually born in Canada - but his family had come up there from NH. Thank you for your time. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. It's looks like RootsWeb .. continues to have "server problems." And, perhaps "computer problems" in general.

It is hoped that these problems will soon be resolved so that this message might be viewed in a timely manner. The following URL was sent to me by someone who normally only sends me jokes. I accessed the website by the URL provided and read the opening page. As I viewed the video and listened to the song I found tears coming to my eyes. We hope soon to have access to the 1911 Census of Canada. Many enumerated at that time went to fight in World War I. Many did not return to be enumerated in the following Census. They died so that the rest of us could live a better life -- so that we would not have to live under a regime that might otherwise have been forced upon us. Many others have fought and died in other wars so that we might enjoy the life we have today. November 11 is Remembrance Day. I urge all to access the website below. Watch the video and listen to the song. Let us not forget those who have gone before us, or those who still fight for the freedom we enjoy today. http://www.army.gc.ca/chief_land_staff/remembrance/English/Home.asp Lest we forget. Gordon A.

Hello, This week I decided to find out more about Levy MILLER again. I did this a few years ago, and couldn't really find anything else about him. According to John Metcalf's web site, Levy was born in 1790 in NH. And, the church records show he married Elizabeth KERR in St. Andrews in 1832. The census records show that he was in the 1842 Census with the following information: Levi MILLER, 7 in family 1 IRL, 5 CB, 1 USA Here 20 years This would mean that Levi arrived in Argenteuil County about 1822. And, the church record mentions that he was a widower when he married in 1832. I had originally made a few "guesses" about the 3 or more MILLER men who were showing up in "Gore" in the 1842 Census. But, another look shows that: Peter MILLER, 3 in family 2 SCT, 1 CB, here 9 years John MILLER, 4 in family 4 IRL (I thought I had spotted a James MILLER someplace, but am not seeing it this a.m.) If these records are accurate, then the 3 MILLER families in town in the 1840's, each came from a different country. Also, I had made a guess that Levi MILLER had been born and raised in NH, married there, but, upon being widowed, left for Canada ... This Census information shows that he came up to Canada in 1822, even before the HENDERSON's and KERR's arrived. So, if he was ~32 years old when he "migrated to Canada," he could have been widowed before he left or perhaps he came up with a wife and she died soon after arriving. (He did not marry Elizabeth KERR until ten years after arriving.) John Metcalf's web site shows that Levi was born in Laconia, NH. But, I did a little on-line investigating yesterday, and Laconia wasn't incorporated as a town until 1840. Before that it was "Meredith Bridge Village." During the 1700's there were only a few, official villages along the shore of Lake Winnepesauki. I placed a few queries on the NH Lists, and so far no MILLER is known of there in the 1700's. If I have time today, I'll check the 1790 NH census to see how many MILLER's were in NH, and I'll check the LDS web site to see what it has to offer. (I did check the archives of the MILLER List, and found a James MILLER living in NH being born there in 1795 (Levi born 1790), and one of his family moved to Bethel, ME. Coincidentally, one of Levi MILLER's sons died in Bethel, ME, at Age 20.) ??? http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~jmetcalf/5806.htm OOPS .. I just checked the MILLER information on John Metcalf's web site again, and he has Levi and Mary MILLER living in St. Andrews "before 1820." He has them having 2 sons born in 1818 and 1819, Levi dying at Age 1. If Levi remarried as a widower in early 1832, then his first wife, Mary, must have died in 1830 or 1831. (There is no further information on his son, Joseph. But, he does have another Joseph MILLER born a few years earlier who married Deborah WARDELL.) Most of the Levi MILLER extended family remained in Argenteuil County or moved to Compton County, as many of the KERR's did. One grandchild seems to have moved to Alberta. FYI: As I mentioned to the people on the NH Lists, if Levi MILLER was a farmer, and was living in the villages along the shore of Lake Winnepesauki in NH, which had very good farmland, why would he and his wife have moved to Canada.. between 1815 and 1820 - and why .. Argenteuil County ? Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) Eileen's web site http://www3.telus.net/public/mcelroye/webpages/gore.html/intro.html

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.)

Hello, I have just heard from the County Sligo Heritage Centre in Ireland, and would like to offer the text of their e-mail to me: Dear Betty, Further to your e-mail dated 13th October 2004 and subsequent letter of 19th October 2004 regarding your Sligo born ancestors. As you feel that the four couples - William& Mary Henderson, Patrick & Elizabeth Kerr, John & Ann Kerr, Samuel and Catherine Henderson and the single Kerr lady (Elizabeth) were related, we are prepared to accept one application form together with a fee of ?80.00 to conduct an initial search on your behalf. Should we find anything which we feel might be relevant to your ancestors then we would be in a position to provide a quotation of further research costs if any. If you decide to follow up on this offer, perhaps it might be worth checking the marriage record of Elizabeth Kerr and Levi Miller, as it may have recorded her parent's names. You omitted to state what religion your ancestor's practiced; we base our research on the surviving church records which are as follows: 20 Church of Ireland Parishes, the earliest baptismal and marriage registers dates back to 1762 25 Roman Catholic Parishes, the earliest baptismal and marriage register dates back to 1796 Presbyterian Sligo Circuit, baptismal registers date back to 1806, marriages 1845 Methodist Sligo Circuit, baptismal registers date back to 1819, marriages 1846. Yours sincerely, Theresa Finnegan Research Officer I will write a separate e-mail asking some questions ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA)

They lived in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario for many years. They had a number of children one of whom is my mother. I have a great deal of info and some knowledge of more live Duguays but I would like to know who are your parents and grandparents. It will be interesting to see whether one of Grandfather's brothers is your relative. I am always happy to trade info and I have much at my disposal. I have been researching for a few years now and have met cousins who have been doing the same. There is still a Piece of a puzzle we are trying to solve with one great uncle but I am certain we will before long. Hope this helps. Sincerely JHiscock
