I do recall reading that it depended on which side of the road the people lived as to which county they were in. In the very early days - 1790's, the Freemans were in Ancaster and then the father and one son had land in Halton. Another son settled closer to at least 3 of the sisters in Con 2 W.Flamborough. I am slowly documenting all their marriages and moves and first few generations.

We can read answers to previous questions, and maybe get answers to our questions without having to ask. Especially if sometimes we don't know what to ask. Thank you!

I've been doing this for years but I decided that starting in 2009 I would use a slightly different method. Don't get me wrong, I am still going to respond to mailing list queries whenever possible. But I thought there was a better way to help other researchers, so I started a Blog called Ask Olive Tree. It's at http://askolivetree.blogspot.com/ Ask Olive Tree is a central place where I can post your questions and my answers, and where anyone dropping by can read them - and join in! Yes, anyone can leave a comment on any of the queries and answers on Ask Olive Tree. Do you need help finding an ancestor? Do you have a genealogy question you would like to ask me? Do you want to know where to find specific genealogy records? You can ask any kind of question from "How do I find my grandpa Harry on a ships' passenger list from Ireland to New York in the 1800s?" to "What's the Dutch name for Anna?" to "What does the British Bonus System mean?" (all of these are actual questions asked and answered) If you want help finding an elusive ancestor, please be sure that you provide me with a concise (brief) summary of your ancestor with dates and locations. Tell me where you have looked and what you want to find out. Basically I want to help - either by finding your elusive ancestor, or by directing you to the sources you need to find him/her yourself or by answering a question about resources or name and boundary changes or.... whatever! The email address to use if you want to submit a question is askolivetree@gmail.com So take a peek at my new site Ask Olive Tree at http://askolivetree.blogspot.com/ , read a few of the queries already posted and then flex your typing fingers and send me a question. I can't respond to questions sent anywhere but askolivetree@gmail.com so be careful not to reply to this address when asking.

About that time he was killed/scalped during an Indian uprising. Soon thereafter Elizabeth Cline moved to Kingston with five of her six daughters; two of whom I believe were Gertraut and Mary.When at Kingston she made a UEL claim and married John Nicholas. I would appreciate lister input Re this family unit.

I hope 2009 is a productive year for you. I'm not sure if this is the right forum but I hope someone is able to help. I am trying to trace any living descendents of the above named couples who emigrated to Canada c1842 from Dundee, Angus, Scotland. They settled in the Goderich & Colbourne area of Huron County. They were married in Dundee and had several children before emigrating where they had more children. My Greatx2 Grandfather Hay OWER was their youngest brother and he emigrated to Australia in 1852. We are planning a reunion this year and it would be great to have some of the Canadian cousins there if possible.
