The couple had three children: Jovitte, Aileen (married to Reginald Walker in Timmins on 15 Oct. 1930) and Olive (married to a man whose last name was Lake). Mary was born in Renfrew County on 8 Oct. 1876. She was the daughter of Charles St-Louis and Julie Bourguignon who were born and married in Renfrew County. I have found the Morgan family in Diamond Twp., Nipissing District (1911 Census). At some point, the couple separated and Mary ended up in Timmins where she lived on Commercial Ave. with her sister Elizabeth who was born 17 Jan. 1881. I was born in 1955 and remember "Aunt Lizzie" who was deaf and mute. Mary was the sister of my grandmother, Regina St-Louis Villeneuve, and I would like to add to this branch of my family tree. Sincere thanks to anyone who can help.

It will become a Christmas tradition on the lists I administer, to allow subscribers to send a query on the ancestor or family they are researching. Some may call this practice a Roll Call. I call it "looking for information on our ancestors"....!!! * We subscribed to the list to hopefully find ANY reference to the family we are researching. Therefore it is logical that we post the known information on our ancestor and make a query to the list members on the information being looked for, to further our database along. * 2. Some of these mailing lists have been in operation for almost 10 years and recently they have died off for whatever reasons. Hopefully this Christmas tradition will help you break down your brick walls; thereby taking advantage of this excellent free research vehicle. * 3. I only ask that folks post comprehensive queries. Place the surname of your ancestor in the subject line and provide as much information as you can in your message. If you get a response please take any further exclusive discussions offlist. * Merry Christmas to everyone and all the best in 2009.

To describe each of the lots can get complicated as some properties are parts of a lot and to describe each becomes to complicated. Trust this is of help to some of you. The next question is there a genealogy society or Archives in Timmins that would be intersted in this map? I have no personal use for it and given it's age to much handling will cause it to deteriorate. I can anticipate a flurry of offers to look after it but would like to see it available to the public.
