(F/Canada)  4/13/00 11:24 am 
I did a search of the local newspaper files in Essex County on the 
surnames of Honner/Bailey/Maher. Here are some of the results of that 
search.
Honner - no census, death, marriage or birth results.
Maher - Census results
Name Town Reel No. Reel Location
John Maher Maidstone T6466 B4-4
Patrick Maher Rochester T6466 C2-10

Also too may Baileys to list.
Maher Deaths Ethel Maher died 30 Jan 1991 ref. Amherstburg Echo pg. B7

Again the Bailey's are too numerous in the Birth, Marriage and Deaths.

You can find this information at:

Happy Hunting!

thanks gang, I'm looking for my dad his full Name is 
Marion Charles Bysecker. It's Dutch. In the USA anyone with that name 
is probably a relative, but anywhere else in the world maybe not. 
Since this website is open to everyone cant hurt to ask.

If you come across the name leave a message and I'll see it. 
Thanks again.

Waterloo County and the surnames DAMMEIER ( have found at least 8 
spellings including DUMIRE) ENGLESKIND GREBEL among many others . 
But I am concentrating on these right now.

(39/M/Ontario, Canada)  5/2/00 11:46 pm 
Hello

I am searching for descendants of Ephraim WILLSON born 1793 in England.
 Ephraim and his family came to Canada from Yorkshire, England in 1829.
 They settled in Waterloo Twsp. near what is now Highland Road West 
and Snider Road. The family consisted of Ephraim Willson, his wife, 
a daughter Amy WILLSON (born 1818 Yorkshire, England died 
12 March 1894) she married John Brighton 
(born 24 December 1818 Suffolk England) in 1838 they had 15 children. 
Their second child, son Ephraim WILLSON Jr. 
(born 1819 Yorkshire, England died 7 July 1878 in Lambton County, Ont.) 
he married Catherine O'BRIEN on 22 October 1844 
(born 8 May 1826 in Ireland died 25 November 1897).

Ephraim Sr.'s first wife died sortly after arriving in Canada. 
On the 5 October 1835 he remarried to a widow Elizabeth GOFTON. 
Elizabeth brought two children from her first marriage, Robert and 
Charlotte. Ephraim Sr. and Elizabeth had a another son Isaac WILLSON 
(born 20 July 1837 died 7 October 1883) he married Mary McCLOY. 
Elizabeth died in 1853, Ephraim Sr. again remarried to another widow 
Margaret McCLOY in @ 1857. The family farm Hemlock Grove Farms was the 
area's gathering place from the start until 1947 when the farm was 
sold by the family.

If anyone recognizes this family please contact me.

(38/F/USA)  5/3/00 9:52 am 
I thought I would post a FEW of the surnames I am researching. 
The most difficult being those of Touroo/Tatro/Roulo with there 
varient spellings, These trace from Canada into Michigan. Touroo does 
not appear ANYWHERE until 1880, as that spelling. It has appeared as 
Touro/Toureau so... any and all information is always welcome and 
appreciated. Thank You, Wendy

Thanks for the info CJ,
I recently found out that Peter Latour died on May 12, 1216 at the 
age of 102,making his dob at 1814. He was born in the province of 
Quebec and died in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. He first married Malinda 
Rebecca Laitiere. Both I believe are native.He had 7 children with 
her. He then married Melina Helene Jolicoeur and had 9 children with 
her. I'm still trying to get othe info; especially on the native side.

Hi ljett!!

As I live in Ontario, Canada, I'm afraid that the only help I can give 
you is through the internet. I did manage to find information that does 
have a Cora Copper in it at the following web site: 

http://skyways.lib.ks.us/kansas/genweb/osage/convanatta.html
as for the others you can look for information regarding them at: 

http://vitalrec.com/mo.html at that site you can do a Social Security 
Death Certificate look-up as long as you know what county they lived 
in. Give it a try and let me know if I can be of more help!

Hi ljett!

Sorry I wasn't much help before, but maybe this will help. Check to 
see if you can find obituaries for the people you are looking for. 
Obituaries often give you the names of parents, brothers and sisters 
and sometimes other information like birth location and clubs they 
once belonged to.

You could also try City Directories and see what kind of information 
you can get from that, they sometimes have genealogical information in 
them. I don't know how your libraries work over there but here many of 
our libraries have web sites and indexes to local newspapers and their 
holdings. 

Just tossing some ideas your way, hope they help! I'll keep trying to 
think of things that might help, you can also check the library pages 
here under Beginners Genealogy for some ideas. Just click on Founder's 
Personal Pages and check it out. Maybe you will find something there 
that will help!

Re: Marriage Registers!!  ccaro1953
 5/25/00 8:44 pm 
Hi Cj Just wanted to take you up on your offer to do a lookup. I am 
interested in finding a marriage record for August ( perhaps Augustus) 
Dammeier and Judith Grebel would think it would be Waterloo county in 
approx 1850. I have found many spelling variations of his surname 
including Dumire and Thamier. Would be interested in anything that 
might appear to be this couple . Thanks for your time

(41/F/California)  5/28/00 7:05 pm 
Hi Robin, I guess I joined this club just in time to see your message 
about Lussier/Lucier/Lucia
I have seen the name written all three ways. You can start by looking 
at my page at  
www.oocities.org/Heartland/Hills/6658 for my ancestor's 
chart. If you don't have it I can give you Norbert Lussier's email 
addy up in Canada, he has quite a bit of info.
Good luck in your search

Hi ccaro!

I have a question for you! Have you found other spellings for your Grebel 
surname? 
I have located a few Greybiels and was wondering if perhaps this was another 
spelling for Grebel?
