1. Re: [UPP-CAN] Ancestry.ca article [1]
Aggressive marketing is how businesses suceeds in this or any other country. What difference would it make what the nationality of the people are who operate a program as long as that program fills a need? I have belonged toAncestry.ca now for several weeks and I have at my fingertips all of the Vital Statistics for Ontario that I would otherwise have to travel 40 miles to access as well as other Canadian information such as the 1911 census and some vital stats information from other provinces. I have

I completely agree with Diane. They seem to have a strangle hold on so much information that is free and just needs to be extracted. Its another example of greed and monopoly . I have used it at my public library and find their census extractions filled with errors and goofs.

Reporters do not always get the facts straight when they write a story. It really doesn't matter, does it? How 'bout we get back to what does -- genealogy and history.

4. Canada Company Records [1]
My gggrandfather, Robert "Red Robin" Johnston purchased his farm in N. Plantagenet Twp., Prescott County from the Canada Company in 1845. I've ordered the microfilm to see if there is any record of his purchase. What can I expect to find in the Canada Company records if I should find his purchase agreement? Cliff.

Diane, You've got that right! I did a Google this morning - most of the hits led to Ancestry pay-for-view sites. What an abuse of the system. I'm in the same boat that you're in - in the U.S. but with most early ancestors in Canada. It does get frustrating. Luckily our Canadian cousins have several projects underway in which they are transcribing some of the censuses. My pet peeve is the 1871 census - only heads of households basically. I've ordered films from the National Archives. The first

8. Land Records, Again [1]
I'm searching for an original signature of James Markle to compare against one that I already have. I've read that by a deed dated June 3, 1818 at Beverly, District of Gore, Upper Canada, James H. Markle (resident of Halton Co.) sold a piece of property to his mother (a resident of Beverly Twp.). The land consisted of "one half of 100 acres in Beverly Twp., 2nd Concession." The deed was signed by both James H. Markle and his mother (his signature; her mark). The transaction is said to have been recorded i

Hi Cliff and all, The census is at www.collectionscanada.ca for those of you who havn't yet had a look. Unfortunately lots of missing places and isn't indexed by family so you do have to troll through the pages. If you do an advance search for say York sub-district 402 it does give you guidelines as far as two sets east of Yonge and two sets west of Yonge. The first of these is the census for families and the second of each of these is the agricultural census. This will allow you to narrow it down a bit
10. Trafalgar Twp [1]
For Trafalgar Township, does the New Survey refer to what is "North Trafalgar" in the Ontario County Atlases? In South Trafalgar, the concessions number north and south from Dundas Street.

11. Re: [UPP-CAN] Quick Start Canada- Census Comparison Charts [1]
I agree that the Ancestry.com international section fees are too high for what is delivered however Ancestry.ca has a Canadian site for $70.00 per year which I find to be good value. With it one can access the actual registrations of the births, deaths and marriages held in Department of Vital Statistics. The actual value to each individual would, of course, depend on how much use can be made of those registrations. Don Holmes Ontario ----- Original Message ----- From: "Diane Apel"

Hi, sorry to be of bother, my friend is looking for any information about a MOSES HUGHES who immigrated from Ireland to St. Edward Island and enlisted in the American Civil War. My friend is a gentleman in his 70's and recently came into possession of this ancestors civil war musket and other items ALONG with this NEW information that this ancestor fought in the C.W. and WAS FROM CANADA (via Ireland). If anyone is inclined to check this out and let me know, we would certainly appreciate it. Thank
13. Locations in Ernestown Twp. [1]
I've been reading publications regarding my ancestor John Link of Ernestown. He has been mentioned as operating Mills in Odessa (formerly named Mill Creek), Millhaven, Link's Mills, and Linksville. From The British Whig (Kingston) - 12 August 1835 -- It reads: "W. Walker v. John Link", "This was an action to recover damages from the defendant [John Link] who is the occupier of the mills on the Toronto Road, known by the name of Link's Mills". John was located at 4th Concession before 1837 as per a
14. Re: [UPP-CAN] 1851 Canada Census [1]
1851 Census for Canada is now online. There are 4 pages to each 'set' of entries, so you only need to read through the (a) pages. (b) (c) & (d) contain detailed stats. I tried searching for someone in the 1851 census for Canada West, York. The search did not ask me for the individual's name only location. It appears that I would have to go through each page looking for the individual, and that no search engine for the person's name is available at this time? Thank you for any clarification. Lynn

Hi Lynn I hope that the postings to the list have been helpful to you re the 1851 Canada Census. When I posted the information from the other list, I had not tried to access the Census myself, but merely was sharing new information that I received from another list. I wish to thank those who have now posted with assistance. Jean ----- Original Message ----- From: To: ; WBLynn315@aol.com Sent: Sunday, May 21, 2006 5:44 PM Subject:

Not really an Upper Canada topic, but as one of the Automated Genealogy whiners, I have to correct you. They do have a copy of the actual 1911 census page.

That is where you click. You have to know the detail mentioned to order the record, so you must first search the online 1871 census and write down the info when you
