My grandfather John Murdoch McKenzie died in Hartney Manitoba on 29 Mar 1909 at age 37. The provincial registration nuimber is 1909-004153. Unfortunately the certificate I got from the Internet gives no other details. Can SKS tell me where I may find a death notice or obituary. Is there a local newspaper in Hartney? Are more details available from the Manitoba Government? Best regards Peter Ferguson in cold and wet (thank God) New South Wales

Hello Peter, Here is an address for Vital Stats in Manitoba, but there looks as if there is a charge for the information you are looking for. I have also included a link for a page with a good deal of Manitoba information, perhaps you will be able to find something. Good luck.

Hello there and thank you both, Jessie and Tom and Lianne for your help. Lianne, I would appreciate if you could look up the directory for the 1950-55 period and maybe after that to see if and when the address became defunct and then at least I'd have some sort of clue as to time frame. I was also wondering if perhaps Betty did marry Wally Meyers, maybe that would show as a listing also, and perhaps Dudley Milton too. It's a big ask from my end. I have got the death certificate in question and the address shows as Apt 10, 1125 Broughton, Vancouver. I have no idea after that apart from Christina, his widow, remarried to an Orville Johnson. I've searched the phone books online and have found only one Dudley Milton who lives in the United States and also phoned him but alas he is not the one although he was within a year of being the correct age. It seems that I cannot find them unless I hire a detective (lol) but thank you all anyway. They may just turn up out of the blue. Cheers and many thanks for your help, Margaret. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jessie & Tom Lennie" <jestom@shaw.ca> To: <otts@hotkey.net.au> Sent: Tuesday, July 08, 2003 10:36 AM Subject: RE: [SCTCDN] Milton > Alexander Thomas Milton died in Vancouver July 15, 1955 age 54.

Hi, I can't remember if I answered this. It is what you call old age. The names Carmichael and Chalmers are both names of families that married into my Adams families. But they were all in the Restigouche area of Quebec and across the river in Campbellton New Brunswick. I guess it is possible that some of them moved on to Ontario, as did a lot of families.

I noted your message. i live in Victoria which is across the water from Vancouver. Maybe I could look up in a Van. directory for this family during the period 1950-1955 and see where they lived. You could possible follow up from there.

Ontario Canada Newspaper AbstractsCAMPBELL The following obituary notice taken from the Markham Economist of last week refers to the mother of Mr. Archie Campbell of this village: "In the deaths of Sarah Turner: relict of the late James Campbell, whoch occurred in the early hours of Thursday March 5 , 1903 Markham has lost another of its pioneer residents. The deceased who had just passed her 78th year was a native of Longford, Ireland coming to Canada when only 15 years old. She married at Montreal in 1845 to james Campbell then a member of the 71st Light Highland Regiment, stationed at Sorel, Quebec. Mr. and Mrs. Campbell lived at Sorel for several years then moved to what was then called Upper Canada, coming to Markham 37 years ago and the deceased has resided here continually since her husband dying 24 years ago. Death was due to general weakness of old age. Interment took place at St. Andrews Cemetery

This is from an old Cdn newspaper clipping that was cut out, which was in an album belonging to my gr. grandfather Charles Mcintosh James S. Mcintosh On may 7th, 1846 Lieutenant James S. Mcintosh's 5th infantry formed into fighting squares with eight pound cannons at the corners. The front rank dropped to one knee, locked and loaded while the second rank prepared to deliver the next volley. Cannon and rifle fire echoed across the battlefield as the fifth regiment squares opened fire on the Mexican Lancers at a distance of 100 feet. Lancers were blasted off their horses while others charged onward and the first rank of soldiers stepped back to reload. the second rank dropped to one knee and fired on command. lancers and horses vanished in swirling clouds of smoke. The lancers won the battle leaving killed and wounded soldiers and amond them lay the body of Lieutenant James S. Mcintosh with his sword still clutched in his hand. He was 17 years old. I know that some Mcintosh families from Canada moved to the USA, and I would like to know more about this one if possible If anyone has further information on this writeup please drop me a line. maggie nee mcintosh mpeters@xcelco.on.ca

During the late ice age a bridge of land connected Canada with Asia where the Bering Strait now separates them. It is beleived that the small bands of Indian People crossed this bridge from Asia in search of food more than 20,000 years ago. Archaeologists have found traces of early men in caves in the Western United States and some stone tools dating back to 15,000 B.C. Archaeologists have traced one ancient way of life called the Folsom culture in the Great Plains Region. Each culture developed distinctive ways of life by the time the Vikings sailed down the eastern coast of Canada from their settlements in Iceland and Greenland around 1000 A.D. Dates in History of Canada 1497 John Cabot landed on the east coast of Canada 1534 Jacques Cartier discovered the Gulf of St. Lawrence 1604 Samuel Champlain and Sieur De monts founded a colony at the mouth of the St. Croix River in New Brunswick 1608 Samuel Champlain founded Quebec 1642 French Settlers founded the city of Quebec 1689-1763 in a series of ward, the british captured Quebec and conquered New France 1774 French Canadians won political and religious rights by the terms of the Quebec Act 1775-1783 During the Revolutionary War in America Colonial Troops unsuccessfully attacked Canada, Loyalists moved to Canada from the Usa colonies 1791 The old Province of Quebec was divided into Upper and Lower Canada 1837-8 Rebellions broke out in both colonies 1839 Lord Durham urged self government for Canada 1840 The Union Act joined Upper and Lower Canada under a single governor and legislature 1848 The United Colony won limited self government 1858 British Columbia was established as a colony 1864 A meeting at Quebec made plans for confederation 1867 The British North America Act established the Dominion of Canada and the English began trading into the Hudsons Bay which had become organized in 1670 by the Cree and became a fur trading trapping post for the Eskimo. The Northwest Company began to get under way in the 1770's and in 1816 after the Red River War, the two companies merged. Alexander Mackenzie was the first person to cross Canada coast to Coast. Rhiel, who claimed to be of Indian ancestry but was of French ancestry provoked the the North West rebellion on the farm of William McIntosh in Battleford, Sask. and Louis Rhiel also provoked needless war between the french Indian and the Ontarions. In 1875 the R.C.M.P. were organized to stop the trade of whiskey, which ended in three months. Information taken from my Gr 7 History exam. maggie nee Mcintosh mpeters@xcelco.on.ca

Here is a list of the families that left Scotland on the 18th of Oct. 1735 and landed in New Inverness, Georgia, USA. If you are looking for some of your ancestors and cant find them, drop me a line I will list the surnames only now as I said before it is difficult for me to type maggie BAIN BAILLIE BURGESS CALDER CALWELL, CAMERON CAMPBELL CHISHOLM CLARK CLEANESS COGACH CROOKSHANKS CUTHBERT DENUNE DUNBAR FORBES FRAZER GLASS GRANT GRAY JOLIFFE KENNEDY LOSSLEY MCDONALD MACBEAN MACOUL MACGUILLIVRAY MACKAY MACINVER MACINTOSH MACKENZIE MACKINNON MACLEAN MCLEOD MACMURRIVICK MACPHERSON MACQUEEN MAIN MILLER MONRO MORRISON MORCHISON MURRAY ROSS SHEARER SINCLAIR SPENCE STEWART SUTHERLAND TOLMIE TRUBY WATSON If you wish information on the above families please contact me, as some of these families came to Canada during the removal of Native Indians from Georgia area to Okla.==which was called the Trail of Tears I have the ship list and other info on these families. President Jackson litterally herded these people on foot to okla and some got away and came to Canada. These families were friends of the Upper Creek Natives more commonly known as the Red Stick tribe, and just for a little extra info Okla is the only reservation with blue eyed people. They had to leave their beautiful homes they built and crops and move, and the ones who learned to speak the Seminole language even though they wereof Scottish descent were never allowed to speak it again. In other words they were never even allow to say IXCHAY which in Seminole means Good Morning. maggie mpeters@xcelco.on.ca

Christine, I have tried both the address you have in the following message and also xcelco.on.ca for Maggie and both get returned to me. Can you advise on the problem.

To All, When this Rootsweb list was set up, it was set up that all replies whether you were hitting "reply" or "reply all" were returned to the list. Yesterday, I changed that feature. If you want to reply to an individual who wrote to the list all you need do now is hit "reply"......... and if you want to reply to the whole group you now hit "reply all". Hope this makes things a bit easier. Christine

I am doing more research on this family line. The surname is MUIR. I believe my Greatgrandfather was Robert MUIR. I would be very happy is someone is familar with this family. He was born in Scotland.. Not sure yet where. I have some information on my Grandmother, Alice Minerva MUIR who so far appears to have been born in 1881 in Wiarton , Ontario, Canada. Can anyone help me with this puzzle that keeps dangling in the air making it really tough to validate what information I do have. Alice was my Fathers, Mother. Mary Alice thanks in advance for any help I might receive. wseone56@aol.com Torrance, CA. USA
