CJ Hi yes it is possible that this is an alternate spelling . 
Not something that I have checked yet though I have another ancestor 
whose maiden name was Greybill and from what I can see ,they all seem 
to have the same roots. Thanks for the tip on that spelling will have 
to check it out further

ccaro!!
Let me know if it is another spelling, I know that there is one in the 
Gazetteer that I have that was a qualified magistrate or something 
along that line, and I believe there are a few in the 1871 census as 
well. There may be others as well but I will wait until you confirm 
before I go looking too hard.

CJ Hi While there may be an alternate spelling for my Grebel I really 
have no idea which one it might be. The Grebel that I am interested in 
finding is Judith born 1833 Germany. I beleive that she must have come 
to Canada as a child. She first appears in the 1851 Ontario Census as 
the 18 year old wife of my gr grandfather August Dammeier 
( spelt Dumire in census records) with a one year old child Amelia. 
I have found eveidence that she was not Amelias mother and that she 
was August's second wife and that the marriage must have taken place 
here in Ontario. I would imagine that it would have been in Waterloo 
County. As you can see without finding this marriage record I dont 
think that I have a lot of hope of finding my Grebels. Thanks for your 
help . They may just turn up :o)

ccaro, I know how frustrating it can be as I too am having troubles 
with the same time frame down here in Essex County.

I did find this Useful Links sit for Waterloo County for you though, 
maybe you can get some help here.

McKellar-Paterson Marriage  jb44_44805
 6/15/00 10:54 am 
Hello! Would greatly appreciate it if you could check for a marriage 
between Archibald McKellar and Mary Paterson in Kent County 
approximately 1834. Thanks much.

jb!

Sorry no McKellars are listed in the book, there are however the 
following Patersons: Betsey, Charles, Phebe Anne and Walter and the 
following Patterson: Clarissa

If they were married in a Roman Catholic Church however, they may not 
be in this book as I have yet to find any information on any of the 
Roman Catholics I have been looking for unless they were married in a 
Baptist, Methodist or other type of Church.

Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance!

Re: Questions for Everyone?  cj_31_1968
(F/Canada)  6/18/00 12:08 am 
Thank you Ephraim!

Perhaps you could give me some advice!
I have one relative that I am having a great deal of problems 
finding information about as he was born abt. 1823 and died either 
late 1857 or early 1858. Any way the question is: Do you have any 
suggestions as to where I should look for further information as to 
parents and death records? There is no death certificate and I haven't 
found a church record. Our local paper didn't start up until the late 
1890's either. All I have been able to locate is the marriage and the 
only reason I know the approximate date of death is from his son's 
obituary.
I could really use some clues or helpful hints here!

Thanks,

CJ

Hi CJ

Two thoughts come to me immediately. First, if he was a land owner, 
have you checked the the older Estate Files found on the Archives of 
Ontario page. These would contain the land records and the wills of 
the people involved. Second, have you gone to the Land Records Office 
for the area concerned. Many of the LRO's have archive rooms that hold 
the older land books. Everything that happens with land was recorded 
with the township. Once conferderation came into being these records 
were brought into the present day offices and stored. Before 1869 all 
deaths were recorded with the Township Clerk so check with the OGS 
branch for the area as to where the Clerk's records have been stored.

Hi! and Welcome to the Club!

Have you tried 
http://www.familysearch.org for your surnames. I could 
only see if they had any of them as I don't know any or your ancestors 
first names, but there are several listed in Ireland on the above 
website.

Hope this helps you!

(25/F/Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)  6/21/00 5:42 pm 
Hi...I'm new to this club. I've been doing my family history for about 
2 years. Have quite a bit of information but am missing a few 
generations to fill in all the holes. My main focus at the moment is 
on SERVOS and ROOD (from England). I know the Servos' were UEL's and 
have them traced to the 1600's. Looking for the parents of 
George "Stanley" SERVOS (b. Jan. 20, 1898). Had at least two brothers 
(Harmen and Leslie(?) and a sister (Margaret, we think). He last lived 
in Binbrook, Ontario. Any ideas?

Thank You CJ
I have tried all of the family searches I have found on the web. I 
have traced back to my gr gr grandfather and I know that they came to 
Ontario during or shortly after the potato famine. Most records were 
destroyed in Ireland around this time, so I am unable to trace back 
any farther.
Thanks Again

Looking for some advice  lunarunicorn_2000
(23/F/Barrie, ON)  7/21/00 2:40 pm 
Hello
My grandparents emigrated to Canada from N. Ireland in 1920. We have 
completely lost touch with any reletives over there and would like to 
find them and trace our family tree. We have tried a couple of 
organisations in N. Ireland, but all they could do was get their 
marriage and birth certs (which my father has here already) we can't 
find any information further back than that.
Any ideas on a next step?
Thanks
Cindy

Need some brainstorming help  ccaro1953
 8/31/00 9:15 pm 
Hi I am in need of some ideas or advice or something. I have been 
working on tracing my 2X gr grandfather August DAMMEIER. I have been 
able to glean bits and peices but now have found some information and 
am not sure what to make of it. I was once again checking census 
records, in particular the 1901 census since it asked for a birthdate 
and also a year in which the person named came to Canada if they were 
not born here.In this census August's birthdate is given as 
22 Nov 1829. The date on his tombstone is 1827 and his death record 
from Ontario vital stats states that at his death in 1904 (Dec 27) 
that he was 74 years 1 mo and 5 days.( It would appear that the 
22 Nov is correct) If I have calcuated correctly that would make his 
year of birth 1829. Now for the interesting part. The census records 
indicate that he came to Canada in 1840. So no matter which year is 
correct it would mean that he was very young when he came here. 
Any where from 11 to 13 years of age. I have never been able to find 
any trace of parents or siblings here in Canada. Any ideas? Would it 
be possible that he came to Canada with another family. I beleive that 
he was from Prussia. Is it possible that he was sent here with whom 
ever to avoid a draft situation. I am not familar with the history of 
prussia at that time. Does any one have any ideas or comments I would 
certainly apperciate them 
Thanks
Carolyn

Hi Carolyn!

It may be possible that August's parents died, either in their home 
country or on their way here and a family, either a relative or close 
friend, brought him here with them.
When I was transcribing the 1851/52 census, I noticed several families 
with children of different surnames, some of them were separated among 
neighbours, it is my belief that these children somehow lost their 
parents and that the neighbours were nice enough to take them into 
their already full homes so that they would have regular family lives 
and be near to each other.
If you can find a passenger list with August on board, you may be able 
to determine if he came with his parents or with a different family. I 
know that many of the ships that came to Canada had serious illness' 
aboard and that many people died on their way to freedom.

Have you ever wanted to actually see where your relative had his lot of
land?
Well this website has the answer at least for most of the Townships in 
Ontario. Take a look, maybe you will be lucky enough to actually see a 
map and location of your great grandparents land.

A Little Helpful Advise  cj_31_1968

Hi Everyone!

Ancestry.com is a pay site, but if you subscribe to their Daily or 
Weekly free email newsletters, they give you a chance to view selected 
databases for free for 10 days each. They are not just United States 
databases either. I have viewed several from Canada as well. Lately 
there has been at least one Canadian database available per week, some 
times as many as one per day.
It doesn't cost anything to get the email newsletters so why not give 
it a try?

Genealogy Scam  cj_31_1968
(F/Canada)  9/20/00 1:31 am 
There is a website that is scamming Genealogists, it is at 

http://www.familydiscovery.com. Basically what it is doing is 
charging you money to get information that is already available for 
free on the internet. All that they do is organize it. On the first 
couple of pages it sounds very appealing but if you scroll down to the 
bottom of the "What's New" page you will see that basically all they 
are is a "search engine". 
From what I understand on copyright laws, they are definately 
infringing. 

Just wanted to warn everyone!
