1. KING, EASTMAN [1]
Reasearching and looking for info on the following: John KING born: Greenspond, NF 1901-1984(St. John's) married to Lilly EASTMAN from Dark Cove, Gambo, NF. He worked as a constable in St. John's for most of his life. Got accepted at the age of 16. He was big and looked a lot older than he was.

2. Christchurch, Channel Islands and Jersy [1]
My GGrandfather JOHN MERCER was from Bay Roberts. I heard that he may have changed to Catholic when he married his wife ROSEANNA BRENNAN. I also heard that a lot of settlers in Bay Roberts came from the above listed places in England. In order to do a search on John, I need to pick a religion. Does anyone know which religion was most noted with the settlers to Bay Roberts from these areas? One possibility I was going to choose is United. Thanks, Theresa

4. Talking to our elders [1]
You are right about talking to our elders. I recently called my 91 year old Aunt and she was so happy that Walter's daughter thought about her. I sent her a family sheet and her careworker filled out as much information as could be found from the family bible. I also sent her a picture I had found of her daughter and one of her mommy. I plan to call her every few weeks and every little detail that she may remember helps and I enjoy every new story and the sound of her voice. Theresa
5. ODERIN, PLACENTIA BAY, NEWFOUNLAND, CANADA [1]
I was thinking for a while that Oderin Island had a name change but then Bill showed me that it is still around. I am wondering why my new up-to-date map that I got from NF tourism does not have it listed. It is there in the bay up above the ankle but just below the back of the knee area of the NF boot in southern Newfoundland. Betwen Placentia (town) and the boot is the whole bay area with lots of little places. Does anyone know why it is not listed on a regular map? My geography is getting better n
6. Story Time [1]
Thanks for responding to my Aunt Rose Story. I am really glad you enjoyed it and I loved sharing it. I will share more. I just wish I was a faster typest. I told Aunt Rose that I would make sure I would record all her stories when she had said (it was all gone now, lost) and expressed regret that she did not know more about her mother's and father's background and stories. WALTER JOSEPH MERCER (March 10, 1920-Dec 28, 1997) Beachy Co
7. Sharing family details more efficeintly [1]
I hope someone can help regarding finding an efficient way to share family details. People in my family have at least 8-10 kids each with a few mountains of facts. I find that I have to fax a person my family sheets because I do not have an efficient way of sharing them on the internet. I tried to make a file from my "Family Tree Maker" in word and foreward it to someone but it just does not look right. Is it ok for me to foreward messages that I have sent people to this sight or is that considered

9. Telephone listings [1]
My sister in Badger was good enough to list the MERCER names in the phonebook for Springdale so I could do a 20 letter mailout. I would like to do a mailing for the Mercer's in Bay Roberts. Is there a better way to get the phone listings for an area rather than hoping to get a nice operator? Is there anything like this on the internet? Also, I have been dealing with many Williams(Bills) in my family from my Emberley and Mercer side. I was wondering what is the chance that the only William in Halifax
10. EMBERLEY [1]
Does anyone know GEOFF EMBERLEY who wrote an article called "Some Early Emberley Families in Newfoundland"? I would like to contact him. Theresa
11. MING'S ISLAND (Above Springdale on the east coast of NF in Notre Dame area) [1]
MERCER family did a lot of fishing on Ming's Island in late 1800's and early 1900's. I found Ming's Bight on the map but there was a nearby island called Horse Islands. Does anyone know if that is the Ming's Island of that time? Also, what does Bight stand for as I have seen this used in several place names? I want to clear point of what 'cutthroat' means. My Aunt's job at 10 years old was to slice the throat and slice down the centre of the body. She would then pass it across the table to her future
12. Census [1]
I am wondering how I can get a look at the 1857 census for Conche and also names of people living there in 1867 on ward. I am also wondering about listings of members in the community in Oderin at the same time. I was reading about Oderin and Conche and see all these references in the encyclopedia and wonder where they are getting all the info etc. I cannot go to the NF Archives for a long time. Thanks for any help. Theresa

Does anyone know if there is any census information on line about the above towns? I went through every little listing and did not see the names listed. Thanks, Theresa
15. RE: Trinity Bay to Quirpon (and back again) [1]
Thanks Phil. I still wonder how my Grandmother managed to be born in Placentia in April 1880 way down south but the rest of her siblings were born all the way up in Conche. It is quite a distance by boat. So, I now wonder if they returned to the Placentia area not just to fish but to spend some time in the land of my GGrandfather Joseph Emberley (bOderin 1858).

17. MERCER's in England [1]
Thanks for all the help I have received from our geneology team in responding to my questions. I do not have a connection in the family tree to England, Ireland or Scotland yet but I would like to ask our members from overseas if they could check to see which towns that the Mercers seem to live over there. Jersy (Channel Islands) (1787) was mentioned as one place Mercer's came from in the NF book of names. There is also mention of a Jacob from Poole, Dorset who settled in Bay Roberts 1810. One new d
18. Name variations [1]
Hi, I thought I was one of the few people who are having lots of trouble with variations on names. First, I though my GGrandmother was RALPH from Conche (north NF near St. Anthony). Then I thought I was on to something because my Dad seemed to remember his mother saying a name that sounded like(ROUF) like a sound a dog makes between Roof and Rough. I also found a listing of a George ROFF in the NF book of names in Conche around 1850. Recently in NF Ency. I saw that there was a RALPH listed in Conch ar

20. Story Time [1]
My Aunt, who will be 92 in August,told me a little about her childhood in Little Bay St. Patricks and Beachy Cove. The Mercer family moved from Little Bay St. Patricks to Beachy Cove around 1916 because of the booming Herring Fishery. Her job was "CutThroat" at the age of 10. She would go to the fish stage with her father and sister and she would cut the heads of the fish with an extremely sharp knife. Her job was also to hook up the dogsled team so that her father, William Mercer could deliver the
