    1. The Maritimes-OHMI-WICA Connections
    2. Bob Robblee
    3. Hello All, Exchanging information with Edna Cudmore of PEI, who is researching the descendents of Joseph Robblee and Jane Penman, has given me positive information on where Susanna Robblee, married George Murray in 1830 on PEI, removed to. They emigrated to Wisconsin, probably around 1840. As yet, I have no solid information as to who else may have ventured there as well. Now, here, as I try to tie other loose, stray pieces of information together, I have a favor to ask. Would any of you who have bits of information that doesn't seem to make any sense or tie in anywhere, send them to me? Especially from the above states. What dawned on me the other day,[duh] was the ease of the route into the interior of the continent from the Maritimes via the St. Lawrence River and the Great Lakes. And, of course, our ancestors were sailors and my ggfather was a partner in a schooner. California was farther by boat, prior to 1850 with the expansion of the rails, but still accessible by sea. Send me whatever, because I am still seeking places that Maritime families ventured to . HOpe to hear from you soon. And a Happy New Year to All. Bob
