Hello again Merri, On my list of books that I want (as gifts from my family) there is one- "History of Huntingdon, Chateauguay, and Beauharnois" by Robert Sellar Huntingdon, Que: Canadian Gleaner 1888. This is the whole area you are interested in. I believe that Gleaner may have been a local paper. So you may have to go through the libraries.

Just starting to research this name - family may have come from Scotland, then N.Ireland, then Canada. Possibly early 1800's. Thank you.

Hi! I am researching 1. Ross, Alexander - uncertain original place in Scotland, to Quebec, 1774 or earlier 2. McKechnie, Neil - from Islay to Ontario, 1885 3. Booth, John - from Marykirk, Scotland to Manitoba 1900, then to B.C. Various researchers before me have gathered a lot of information, some well sourced and documented, some apocryphal (stories) only. I monitor the mailing lists for these names and places. My goal is to confirm through documentation as much as possible. Christine has helped me with translations from French for early Ross documents. (Much appreciated!) I will probably need help to inquire to the Archives of Quebec for land grants. Has anyone made inquiries in English and been successful? Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks, Rosemary Boyd

Hi List, I will post my interests in hope that someone out there may help. I am in search of the BURNIE family. They arrived on two separate occasions that I have been able to find up to now. The first arrive about 190? and the second arrived about 1910 the BURNIE's settled in Saskatchewan and B.C. a couple in Winnipeg Man. The came from Dumfries and the Kirkcudbright areas. My next request is to find the location that the MCKNIGHT's and the FORREST's came from. McKnight's arrived 1816 and still not certain when the FORREST's arrived. McKnight and Forrest settled in New Brunswick. Up to now I have yet to find them in Scotland. Family records state that they came from the Dumfries area but no luck locating them there. Thanks for any help that I may receive Regards Janet Burnie-McKnight Researching: Burnie, Carswell, Dobie, Forrest, Halliday, Hyslop, McKnight,and England's in S/W Scotland and the England's and Senior's of England On

Hi Everyone, Just a note to all. We had a flurry of activity for a week, just want to remind everyone that Scots in Canada is working well, and that we are here for any posts, don't consider anything too silly to post. Post your queries, just remember to put a good subject line in, it may catch someone's eye, and a reply may be sent to you, all is worth a try in genealogy. Christine List Admin

Hi Janet: My husband says he knew of a Burnie family in Smithers, B. C. in the 1920's and 30's. The fellows name was Howard - he drowned and my husband believes there is a lake named after him. There were two sons, can't remember their names. Mrs. Burnie looked after my husband for awhile when he was small. If that should be the right Burnie - there are places in Smithers that could give you info. We live about two hours away by car. My husbands parents came from Scotland but haven't had any luck tracing his father.

Greetings All. FYI. Gordon A. Watts gordon_watts@telus.net Co-Chair, Canada Census Committee Port Coquitlam, BC http://globalgenealogy.com/Census en français http://globalgenealogy.com/Census/Index_f.htm =============================== StatsCan kills census deal over privacy concerns Firm has close ties to U.S. defence interests Joe Paraskevas The Ottawa Citizen Sunday, May 09, 2004 The federal government, bowing to public and political pressure, has broken a contract with the Canadian arm of U.S. aerospace giant Lockheed Martin for work on the next national census. The New Democratic Party and other organizations had lobbied the government for months to drop its plans to have the Kanata-based company provide services for the 2006 national survey and a mini-census, out of concerns private information of Canadians could be used by an organization with close ties to United States defence interests. The director of the 2006 census, which is produced by Statistics Canada, confirmed Friday those concerns drove the government to pull out of its agreement with Lockheed Martin. "There were a number of concerns expressed, perception issues around confidentiality and privacy," said Anil Arora. "We wouldn't want to subject even the slightest perception that the census was in any way subject to any of those concerns, so to do away with that we decided that it would be Statistics Canada employees that would actually handle and process the census questionnaires in 2006." A spokesman for Lockheed Martin could not be reached for comment. The next census will involve about 13.6 million households and will be the first to be offered online. About 20 per cent of respondents are expected to file electronically, Mr. Arora said. Public concerns were unwarranted, he added, because census work would be conducted under security in Statistics Canada facilities with no external connections through which information could leak. But the NDP exulted in the government's reversal. "Hats off ... to all those who persuaded Statistics Canada that the integrity of the census was at stake," said NDP parliamentary leader Bill Blaikie in the House of Commons. The government would sustain a penalty "in the tens of thousands of dollars," for breaking the second phase of its three-phase contract with Lockheed Martin, Mr. Arora said. The phase involved the conducting of a mini-census of 300,000 homes and used as a preparatory step before the 2006 main census. The government would not be penalized for breaking the third phase of the contract, which actually involved the main census. The first phase of the contract -- in which baselines for the census were established -- has already been completed. Lockheed Martin had been selected in 2001 among other bidders, marking the first time census software had been purchased from the private sector. Electronic data processing could cut up to three months off compilation of census figures, Mr. Arora said, meaning the 2006 results could be ready by January 2007.

Dear Betty, My Grandfather, Roderick McInnis arrived in the US in 1881. He was born 2 July 1864 in PEI. His parents were from Scotland and his mothers' given name was Mary. His fathers name was John or James McInnis. That is all I know of his ancestry. Sorry that I can not make a connection for I have none to give. I hope that you had a pleasant Mothers' Day. Jim

Hello, I was wondering if anyone knew of a McINNIS family (any spelling) who might have left Canada and come down to Boston, MA, possibly in the 1870's (or any time). I'm looking for any information on a William McINNIS (sp?) who was in Massachusetts and possibly married near Boston, MA, in the 1880's. His wife was Mary Ann KERR, who probably migrated from Quebec Province to Boston, MA, with her older brother, William KERR, around 1873/74. Mary was found in the home of her brother and his wife in the 1880 Census. FYI: William KERR married an Elizabeth HANNAH whose family had migrated from Glasgow, Scotland, to Boston, MA, in the summer of 1857 when she was 3 months old. (Her parents were William HANNAH and Elizabeth RITCHIE, married in Glasgow, either Dec. 1854 or Jan. 1855.) (I have not yet found out who their parents were. (Both were born in Donegal, Ireland.) (There is a possibility that they had siblings who came to North America.) My aunt believed that William and Mary McINNIS (sp?) remained in the Boston area, as she remembers visiting with them, possibly in the 1920's. However, her two younger brothers, Robert and Joseph KERR, came down to Boston, MA, possibly around 1880's, married in Everett, MA, and then moved to Everett, WA, ~1900. They remained in Washington State. (The KERR parents also came down to Boston around 1880's and died here in 1890's.) (The KERR's were from a family-group of KERR's and HENDERSON's who left County Sligo, Ireland, in 1823 to migrate to Canada, and settled in Argenteuil County, Quebec Province. Some moved to Compton County.) Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) "There are two lasting bequests we can give our children; one is roots, the other is wings."

Hello, I'd like to ask if anyone knows of a McDANIEL or McDONALD family which was living in St. Andrews, NB, in the 1790 to 1830 timeframe. I am looking for the parents of Lucy McDANIEL (or McDONALD) who was reportedly born in 1812. She was said to be "of St. Andrews," but I don't know if she was born there. In 1832 she married in Lubec, ME, so I wonder if her parents had moved to Maine in the 1820's. Lucy married Daniel V. RICE in Lubec. He had been born in ~1804 in Digby, NS, but his family moved to Lubec (Eastport) (then Plantation 8?).. right around the time he was born. Daniel and Lucy RICE had ten children, and their youngest was Charles Wellington RICE, b1850. He was my great-great-grandfather. Charles came down to Ashland, MA, maybe around 1872, probably to work in the shoe/boot factories in Ashland. He married there in 1875, and he married a woman from Winchester, MA. (Adelaide Crosby HUTCHINSON) We have no idea how they met. Was there a McDANIEL/McDONALD family which arrived in New Brunswick in the 1790's .. possibly with a group of Scottish families?

Hello Christine Many of those soldiers were granted land in Ontario, and New Brunswick. I am from Glengarry Co. in Ont. and there were/are Ross families living there.
