Hi Sharyn, That would be a great idea, I think it could possibly be a help to some of those who have Scottish ancestors in Quebec. A lot of Scottish Soldiers remained in Quebec after their regiments were disbanded, some men did returned to Scotland, but after a few years back on Scottish soil quite a few returned to Quebec. I know of two areas of the province with good settlings of soldiers, around Malbaie (Murray Bay) on the North Shore, and Riviere du Loup on the South Shore. You had these soldiers marrying French Canadian girls and integrating into the French Canadian families, the paternal names carried on in the male line, I personally knew a family of MacNeil's who couldn't speak a word of English, only French. Whatever you find would be welcomed to be archived. Many thanks Christine List Admin -------Original Message------- From: SCOTS-IN-CANADA-L@rootsweb.com Date: 05/03/04 20:36:40 To: SCOTS-IN-CANADA-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [SCTCDN] Any interest in this? Frequently while going through Quebec marriage registers I run across Scottish and Irish names (can't tell them apart in that context). Would there be any interest on this list in my posting what I find from time to time, even if it is not names anyone has asked about? I know that some lists like this and some don't so I wanted to ask before posting anything. I also have a subscription to PRDH (U. of Montreal, Quebec genealogy before 1799) online and also run across non-French names there. I can't take lookup requests unless they are for a specific location in Quebec. Most of what I have is "strays" outside the usual places the Scots and Irish settled, so I can't help with Montreal or most of the Eastern Townships. Please reply off-list rather than clutter up the archives with a lot of yes-no type responses.
