Let's hear from everyone researching SHAW surname whose ancestors first names started with an "Q" or "R". The older, the better. Of course, all other SHAW inquiries welcome also. Instead of hitting the "reply," just start a new email to [email protected] with YOUR "Q" or "R" SHAW name in the Subject line. This has been fun...we will make it through the whole alphabet by the end of the year. I appreciate the list managers letting us do this.

We all know what a chore it is to find answers, locate records. Have you thought about all of the genealogists in the path of Katrina that fled their homes, leaving their computers and their data behind? Not today, but someday, they will be in a position to return to their genealogy, and have no idea where to start. A group has just been started to help. Please join! Homepage: http://groups.google.com/group/Katrina-Genealogists Group email: [email protected] Description: Genealogists banding together to recreate data for those who lost their records in Katrina. Collecting surnames, names of genealogists who lost data, those who want to help. Initial startup will be spent brainstorming what we can do. We know many of you are not in the south as you research. There is no shelter near you that you can volunteer for. Perhaps this will be a way to help. If you have ideas, or are just available to do something once we formulate tasks, please join us. (At this point we are the blind leading the blind and need any ideas we can get.) Please pass the word. Katrina Genealogists [email protected]

Hi Pat, We are distant cousins. Isaac Shaw and Prudence Merritt are my ggggrandparents also. Mary Ann Shaw and William Havens are my gggrandparents. It is from their daughter Eliza Havens who married William 'Squire' Kelly that I descended, your Elizabeth Havens-Hellems sister apparently. Eliza Havens and Squire Kelly had my ggrandfather John Edwin Kelly who married Alice 'Alma' Matthews and they had my granmother Arlie Eliza Kelly who married my grandfather, Allen Kicksee. There is much information on the Merritts online. They were Loyalists and were in Upper Canada very soon after the American Revolution. Some of Prudence's brothers were in civilian Militia during the War of 1812 and they lived in the Niagara region where much of the War of 1812 was fought. It's fascinating family history! I'm in Southern Ontario myself and have visited Prudence and Isaac Shaw's graves as well as William and Mary Ann Havens' graves. Actually, Prudence's father and mother, Joseph and Mary Merritt are buried in the Merritt Settlement Cemetery near Smithville, Ontario, too. I would be very interested in your Havens information if you could send it. I have pictures of Prudence and Isaac Shaw's graves, if you're interested. They're big files, though. Wonderful to meet a distant cousin! I do hope we can find out more about Isaac Shaw and his family, also. Diane in S.

They had a Martha (b.1816), James(b.1819), William(b.1821 d.1901) and Joseph(b.1824). William, the son, a Ship Carpenter married Catherine Sinclair in Greenock in 1844. I wonder if my William Shaw the Seaman could be your William born 1801? Son of John and Elizabeth.

What an interesting name -- Angeloah -- never heard it before. Our Orley Shaw and wife were in Onondaga county, Peru, Elbridge, in 1840 when their son, Marshall Shaw was born. Seems like Angeloah could be his brother, datewise. Parents, John B. and Lydia Shaw. Very interesting. Keep in touch as things develop!

I have printed out your email to take to the next Dutchess County Genealogical Society meeting. Anyone immigrating to Canada immediately after the American Revolution is a strong candidate for Loyalist ties, but alas, you cannot be certain. There is a great book on the Shaw surname in US and CAN, I copied the ordering details while at the PANB, but I cannot remember if it dealt with all of Canada, or only the ME-NB Shaws. Anyway, your post has prompted me to get back at my sort and file pile--will post the info if relevant when I dig it out. -------Original Message------- From: LANDSEND Date: 08/30/05 19:02:38 To: [email protected] Subject: [SHAW] SHAW, Isaac b.1780 Dutchess Co.

Hello: This is interesting, I have an Isaac Shaw who is my brick wall also. What I know abt. mine; Isaac Shaw was born circa 1885-1895 in possibly Canada or upstate New York, he was in New York City in 1910 (US Census) supposedly he went there to work on the Holland tunnel, shortly thereafter he married a Janet Jack, parents unknown, birthplace unknown. Isaac died young and Janet remarried, moving to I believe the Baltimore area of Maryland. They had one child (might be more) John Henry Shaw b. abt. 1912-1915, he spent his adulthood in New Jersey, he was a lobster fisherman, he passed away in abt. 1987 in Atlantic County New Jersey. I am wondering if perhaps your Isaac was grandfather or great grandfather to mine?? I have had the hardest time tracking them down. They (later generations) evidently moved around a lot, but I am told the family originally came from Scotland. I have sent querries out for one year now, no replies. If you check out the message boards on Ancestry. c! om there is some scant info on this family in the Jack family boards. It would be well appreciated if anyone has any info on Shaw families from upstate New York and Eastern Canada.
