I am searching for my brother. His birth name was Michael and he was born on October 23, 1952. I am not sure of the surname that was used on his birth cert. He was born at Faith Haven, a home for unwed mothers run by the Salvation Army in Windsor, Ontario. His mother's name would be listed as Edith Ruth WISCHNEWSKI (she was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan and would have been 19 years old at the time of his birth). He was made a ward of the county in February 1953 sometime around February 10th.

Looking for a sibling. Fathers name was Archie Arthur Houle. I was born, Sharon Elizabeth Mary Houle in Windsor Ontario on May 11, 1957 at Hotel Dieu of St Joseph. From what I understand, my father had a child from a previous relationship, I am not sure if they were married. He may have lived in Sudbury. I am not sure of the gender, but something leads me to believe that it was a son. Archie Houle died in Sarnia in 1969. I am looking for any leads that would help me to find my sibling. I would also hazard a guess that he could be 10 or more years older than myself. Archie was 13 years older than my mother.

My name is Robert Sharp and I'm looking for a son born at the Grace Hospital in Ottawa, On. on or abt the 10th of Aug 1966, his birth name was to be Richard. His mother's name is Giselle Grisson also of Ottawa. We were very young at the time and a decision was made by her family the he be put up for adoption 2 weeks after he was born that I can recall, I also recall that he went to a home on Wolfdale Street in Vanier, On. My mother Mrs Mary Sharp wanted to take this child but circumstances did not allow that to happen. I went to visit him on Wolfdale a month after I thought this to be a foster home. A few weeks later I was asked to sign papers along with his mother at Billings Bridge all of this is vague as I was only 16 and his mother was only 14 at the time all of this happened. Today at the age of 59 years and with a lot of health issue's I would like to know where this little boy ended up I have always had him in my heart all of this time but could never find him. He would have a half sister and brother that also live in Ottawa and Vancouver. I would like to see this child now an adult before my time on this earth is done only to let him know that I am his birth father and to see how his life as gone hoping in my heart that it is a good life and to know if I have any grandchildren to tell him that I have never forgotten him he is always in my thoughts.

I tried to respond to this poster - katiej48@rogers.com - but the email adress is defunct. I am looking for info about the Sacred Heart Orphanage that was in the west end of Toronto. Establihed around 1876 and run by the Catholic Sisters of Saint Joseph. It was located on property now occupied by the Saint Joseph's Health Centre.
Hi Cathie,
During a Google search of Sacred Heart Orphanage I came across your query of April 26, 2006. I don't have much info myself. My grandfather and his older brother were in this orphanage for 2 years around 1900. They where 3 and 5 years old when they entered. Their mother had died after giving birth to her 6th child and their father abandoned the children. I was speaking with my aunt last night and she told me that many years back she was able to find a record of the residents at the orphanage and she did indeed see the names of her father and uncle. My grandfather's name was Charles Finlay and his brother was Joe. The spelling of their last name was later changed to Finley with an E by the mother's side of the family - who were Catholic - to distance them from the memory of the father who abandoned them. Charles and Joe ran away from the Orphanage twice - they were still very young. The first time they were returned by their maternal grandmother, the second time she relented and took them in. I am a film and television writer and I plan on doing a little research into the Orphanage myself. If you like I will keep you informed. And if you have any info you think might be of interest to me I would very much appreciate it you contacted me by email or phone. Please contact David.

Thomas married Martha Ann Walters (d/o William Walters and Jane Morrison) May 30, 1852 in Cayuga, Ont. This marriage produced 12 children. To date I am unable to confirm a birth record, or death record for Denis McNamara. Another family record states that Denis remarried in 1821 to Mary Ann Walsh at Notre Dame de Quebec (I have found a record of this marriage) which would mean Thomas was their son.

During WW2 Robert James Cummings Lennox, born c1909, son of John Scott Lennox, was stationed with the Canadian Provost Corps in the United Kingdom. He met and married Doris Daye. In 1942 they had a son. Later he transferred to the Toronto Scottish. When their son was aged about 3 Robert returned to Canada. Their son had been put into a foster home and had no idea who he really was until he was about 10 years old. Now, more than 50 years later he is still searching for his father or members of the Lennox family. We have written to various places in Canada seeking info but have been told that unless we can prove he has been deceased for 20 years that the info is not available. We are not able to prove whether he is living or not, but given his year of birth it would be a miracle should he be found living. His son has children and grandchildren that are his descendants and would appreciate contact with family.

I am inquiring about my great uncle, many greats. We have been searching for him in many databases and are unable to find a death cert. He was one of the home children. His brother went off with the Canadian military and did not come back from France. His brother, WIliam Hayes has still not been found after all these years, until recently, my grandmothers mother had the wrong death cert for him, as it was a common name. At this point, he may have drowned, but still unknown. We have the name of the orphanage he was in until the age of 18, which is located in Ottawa. He left the home in 1915 at the age of 18. Here is the info we have. The place where he lived as one of the Home Children was St George's Home, 1153 Wellington Street, Ottawa. It is no longer an orphanage. It seems there is a plaque outside the building commerorating the poor little Home Children who had no choice but to live there. I don't know exactly where the list of drowned children would be, but Mr Lorente said it is in Ottawa, so maybe one of the government buildings. The details of my uncle are WILLIAM HAYES, DOB Feb 12th 1897, born in Camberwell, London, England. Mother Bridget, father George. If you know of any group that would be able to attain a death cert, or info for uncle William or for someone from this area, could you please send the info to me.

I am looking for decendents of ROSS PORTER whose proper name is HERBERT ROSS ELWOOD Porter or his uncles. ROSS PORTER was born in Uxbridge, Ont. date of Birth 25/01/1899. The last known Canadian address of his family was 34 Belfair Ave Toronto Jan 1919. At that time he was single, and 19 years old. His mother JANE PORTER died of pneumonia around July 1900. ROSS PORTER's father WILLIAM PORTER went away to live in Michigan after his wife's death. His father remained in Michigan at least up to Jan 1919. ROSS PORTER lived with his grandmother REBECCA PORTER and 2 uncles CHARLES and THOMAS PORTER.

Looking for any family, historical data for the Fleming family of Tweed, Ontario (Hasting’s County). My gr grandfather Robert Fleming married Suzannah Bowers in Tweed in the year 1884 as I recall and I have their marriage cert. In a day when families focused more on survival than the integrity of their family tree, I learned from my grandparents that the Flemings lived on a farm, described as the Fleming farm. Some time in the 1870’s perhaps, the family came down with consumption (TB) and were directed by the community doctor to break up for the sake of survival. I’m told that some went west and some remained in Ontario as my gr grandfather did. He and Suzannah moved to Port Loring, Ontario and they are both buried in the Pioneer cemetery in Loring, along with their son George who died in a logging accident in the early 1900’s. I would just like to learn more about the family and I expect that some distant relatives probably still live in the area so perhaps this will kindle a response. While I’d like to learn about the family’s early days, I’d also like to learn about their arrival in Canada and from whence they came.

Lowden, Shirley (adopted name): I, Charmaine Hill was born June 1951, 4 lb. 14oz, Salvation Hospital-Grace Hospital Windsor, ON Canada, at the time of my birth my mother was living with my father (common-law), my maternal grandparents and my 15 yr. old brother. My mother gave me up for adoption and I was placed in Faith Haven (next to Grace Hospital) until July 26th 1951. On July 30th 1951 I was sent to the Well Baby Clinic. Sept. 11 1951 I became a permenant ward of the Children's Aid Society, Windsor/Essex. On Sept. 25th 1951 I was placed in a foster home until Apr 14th 1952. Nov 4th 1952 I was placed in with the family who adopted me by the name of Lowden. My final adoption was signed Jan 7 1954, my name was changed to Shirley Lowden. My mother was born in 1917 (Northwestern Ontario) described as the bush area. No siblings that we know of. She married a man with the last name 'Hill' in 1934 (Michigan), seperated in 1940 when she moved back to Ontario to live with her parents. She had a son from this marriage born in 1935 (he kept surname Hill) who remained with our mother. She remarried, but only briefly. Moved to Windsor (in and around the Curry, Campbell area..we believe, but not definite) lived with her parents and son. Met my father (who had been married to someone else and had children from that marriage) My mother was described by a doctor as suffering from near mental collapse and unstable at the time of her pregancy with me. Because both her father and mine were layed off from their jobs, she decided not to marry my father and give me up for adoption. She and my brother moved to Michigan where she met another man, whom she married and in 1957, with my 21 yr. old brother, she returned to the children's Aid Society to try and get me back. She was denied. For over 30 years I've been looking, hoping and needing so very much to track down members of my birth family. The Children's aid says they can't open my file for identification until my birth mother is dead. I'm 54, my birth brother would be 69 yr. old! IF our mother is alive she's 87. It would be an answer to 'her' prayer as well as mine to have me back in her life even if it's at this late stage. I am a mother and grand-mother now. My son and daughter support my endeaver to open our lives up to my birth brother, and mother. Should anyone...have any knowledge of who or where they might be..PLEASE!!!

He resided in Brantford, ON with his wife, Marguerite (Theobald), son Terrance, and daughters Glenna and Gail. My father, Terrance, agonized about why his father left, up until he passed away in 1999. Now, I would love to hear from anyone who knows anything about my Grandfather. Always wondered if he remarried or had a family while there? Some family members who were still in touch with him after he left and are now deceased, told us that there wasn’t anyone else.

Looking for my brother Edward Albert Johnson (Gammon birth name). His birth mother is Viola Mae Gammom. Edward's birth date is June 1947. I am James Earl Brown (adopted name) My birth date is Feb 1949. Lived in many foster homes until I was placed on a farm as a foster child and adoption was finalized in July 1961. I had plenty of problems in school hated it, found out when our youngest daughter was in grade 5 she was having great difficulty in school especially in reading had her tested and it turns out she is dyslectic. That explains why I hated school so bad and to this day I still can not read worth a damm. I said to my wife she is not going to go through life the way I had to getting called stupid. We hired private tutors and got her extra help in reading and still has some problems but the help we got her was well worth it. Just this year my wife found a notice on the Internet LOOKING FOR 1'ST COUSINS NEVER MET. My wife replied to the notice and turns out this particular cousin had been searching for a few yrs to find us and they are legitimate. After answering the notice they are our first cousins. I had no idea that our Mother was still alive because I was told our birth mother had passed away when I was a child. My family have met these first cousins and they are very anxious to meet you if you want to. I would very much like to get in touch with you and get to know each other again. I know you had a very rough time after you were adopted your adoptive parents separated. I have a copy from the Windsor Essex Children's Aid Society of what we went through until we were adopted. I did not know all the problems you went through until I rec'd the info from the Children's Aid Society. I do not know if you are aware that we have a sister born in May 1940 and adoption was finalized in Sept 1943. Her name was Mary Margaret. Even if you do not want to get to know each other again I would like to know you are ok. If you are willing to meet with me and not the cousins that is also fine and they said they would understand.

Looking for any info regarding my birth mother and my family members. I was born in Kingston, Ont July 1982 at Kingston General Hospital following a full term pregnancy. I was described as a tiny, well-formed baby girl with light brown hair. I was placed in a foster home for a few months, then later adopted by the Smith Family. The adoption was finalized on June 16, 1983. My adoptive parents named me Laura Marie Smith. Their names are Brian and Marie Smith, whom I love very much! My birth mother was 5'7" tall and weighed 115 pnds. She had reddish brown hair, green eyes, medium complexion and a small build. Her financial situation was poor so she had little money for clothing. My birth mother had Grand Mal Epilepsy since she was 13 yrs old. Her rate of seizures was high, perhaps several a week. My birth mother enjoyed reading and drawing. She also worked at a university putting maps together in Kingston. She also was allergic to eggs. My grandfather died when my birth mother was 5 years old. My grandmother died in 1975 at the age of 57. She was very ill with cancer. My one aunt was 36 years old at the time of my birth and was also married. She was a short woman with auburn hair. She was employed as a nurse. My second aunt was 28 years old at the time of my birth and was also married. She was also short and small with red hair. She had 2 healthy children and worked as a Registered Nursing Assistant. And my uncle was 27 yrs old at the time of my birth. He was tall, dark and slim, he was also married. And last, but certinely not least my only sister that I know of was born in 1976. My birth mother at that time was 3-4 weeks premature and had to remain in kgh hospital for a month. My birth mother had nowhere to live, so on Jan 12, 1977, my birth sister came into care. She was made a crown ward and was later adopted. On Nov 2, my birth mother withdrew her objection to the agency's application for Crown Wardship. I was made a crown ward on Nov 9, 1982. There was no info on file about my birth father. My birth mother did not give his name to the social worker at CAS( Kingston, Ont). This info was gathered from the files of the Children's Aid Society of the City of Kingston and County of Frotenac that were complied in 1982 to 1983 and represents all the non- identifying histry available. If there is anyone who can help me find my birth relatives, I would be so grateful. I need to know my medical history, etc. I feel lost knowing that my true family is out there, but I can't reach them. God Bless You All !!!!!

Their father has lost contact with them and was only able to speak to them once in 14 years and has been searching with no luck. Their names: Ryan Steven McNeil was born in 1982, Brent Christopher McNeil 1984 and Aaron Willman McNeil 1986. Their mothers name is Christine Deforest. The last known address to us was Angus, Ont. The boys we know attended Angus Public School than went on to high school, but not sure of name of high school. Their mother Christine grew up in the Angus area her parents were Terry and Denice Deforest. As well Christine had 2 brother's I know names are Jason and Wayne DeForest. There is a Uncle George Deforest in the Toronto area. The boys father Steve misses his boys everyday and that he never gave up hope that someday that he would have them in his life again. We as a family would like to reconnect with these boys who are young men now and reunite with them to hopefully rebuild our family. If you know of any of the people listed or have any info regarding the were abouts of Ryan, Brent or Aaron (we do believe they could still in the Angus or surrounding area.) It would be so greatly appreciated by their father myself and our 3 children who want to know their 3 older brothers.

Trying to hunt down a ship called the Joesph Green that sailed from Thurso, Scotland May 1842 and landed at southern Ontario, Canada port in July of 1842. According to word of mouth.
I would like to get a record of the landing and a passenger list of the immigrates from Scotland. That era of time was for populating Ontario, and a new start to settle. I would like to see if my relatives, Charles and Jane Clark start in this new land had a documented landing. They did farm in Tilbury, east. Kent County. Some how history recording is almost non existent, or it was not digitalized for the internet. The 1851 Census the couple did not make it on the government census. They were in the country for 9 years. His death was not recorded I found the grave stone 1853 but the wife makes it on the 1871 census. So the Mystery of the Ship the Joseph Green is still in the mist of history, just waiting to be discovered. Any pointers will be great.

Trying to find out info on my grandfather Ferdinand Normandin who was married to my grandmother Georgiana Perth. I know he lived in Ottawa, Ont. (could possibly lived in Montreal Que as well); Georgiana is a mystery in that I have been told that she was of native origin and passed away at the age of 29 to tuberculosis; my father would have been 4 years old when she died. My grandfather never remarried and passed away around the age of 56 or so. My father's name is Gerard Cleophus Normandin. He was sent to an orphanage in Papineauville, Que. when his mother Georgiana passed away, as his father could not take care of him financially, nor that of his 4 daughters. When he turned 17 he left the orphanage and joined the naval reserve (1927). The daughters were all sent away to live with their aunt (on my grandfather's side - I believe) in Montreal, where 1 stayed in Montreal throughout her life, her name being Claire; 2 lived in Ottawa, their names being Florence and Mrs. Blais; and 1 lived in Perth, Ont., her name being Pauline (married name was Cook), until she moved to Burnaby B.C. in the late 1970's. My father was born Jan. 4, 1910; he married my stepmother in 1932 in St. Anselene, New Brunswick (her name being Emma Mary Normandin), nee Leblanc. She brought me up from the age of 3 and my brother Rene from the age of 4 with my father Gerard Cleophus Normandin. This shows that he strayed from his legal marriage to Emma Mary Normandin during the period 1950 to 1955 during which time he lived with my biological mother Kathaleen Viola Creelman (who remains to this day in Nova Scotia; little contact has ever been made with her during the years). In 1955 Emma Mary Normandin returned to stay with my father Gerard and brought my brother and I up. My name is Paulette Florence Normandin (maiden name) (married name was Latremouille then Stanton; I was born on Jan 1951. I am searching for info on my grandfather, especially on my grandmother (Georgiana Perth - name was probably changed when she left a native reserve as a child, as I am told), cousins I may have on the Normandin side and on Georgiana's side. I am still trying to find the aboriginal origin/history behind my grandmother.
Please contact Paulette Florence Normandin.

Looking for my Brown ancestors from Owen Sound, Ont. My grandfather, Charles Nelson Brown was born in 1880 in Owen Sound; he was the son of Henry Brown and Catherine (nee - Robertson).
Henry, his father was born in England; his parents were Nelson Frederick Brown and Elizabeth Dickson (Dixon). They immigrated to Canada in 1867 with Henry who was abt 9 years old at that time; they settled in Balaclava, St. Vincent County, Ontario and were well known to the Lemon Family. Another son, Robert Brown was born in 1868 in Owen Sound. (I think); he would be my great uncle. He may have been born in Balaclava, I do not know for certain where he was born. I possess very little info abt my ancestors when they lived in Ontario from 1867 to 1936; my grandfather and his parents moved to Victoria, BC about 1900. I do have in my possession an obituary for my gr grandfather, Henry Brown when he died in 1936 in Victoria, BC; he is buried at the Royal Oak Cemetery in Colwood with my grandmother, Catherine (Robertson). What I am trying to find out is what became of my gr uncle, Robert Brown; did he have any family (wife and children). It states in Henry's obit, as of 1936, that Robert was living in Northern Ontario; that is all I know. Also, I am trying to make the relationship of Thomas Brown and Amanda and their son, Thomas Robert Brown to our family; I have their obits too. My gr grandfather, Henry Henry and Charles Brown, my grandfather, were well-known in the social circles with the Lemon, Edmonstone, Robertson and Walmsley families of Grey County; there are newspaper articles on the Robertson family of Holland Landing going back to 1839 which an article on Vail's Pointe was published in the Meaford Mirror newspaper in 1933. If anyone recognizes these names and can offer me some info that would help me in completing our family tree.

Looking for my real father and do not have a whole lot of info on him. I was told his name is Jon or John Vickers and when my mom was dating him (a year and a half) she married when she was 4 months pregnant with me. She did not marry my real father but had an arranged marriage. My mother is East Indian and her name is Helen Lashman or her given name is Harjinder Kaur Lashman (Doman). She does not give me much info other that my father was very nice and very good to her. She said when she was with him, he was from Toronto, Ont. and worked in the lumber mills in Duncan (Cowichan Valley) on Vancouver Island. She says she knows nothing about him. I have met my mother only twice and she will not tell me much. I believe I have a brother that was also given up. She did tell me my father knew about me. I am not sure why he never tried to locate me. I was put in foster homes. It is so important for me to find my real father as I was sick for many years and doing fine now after a kidney transplant but I have 2 children and want to know anything there is to know concerning medical history. Most of all, I really want to know who my father is. I hold no grudge but want so much for him to know who I am and what I have done and want to know who he is. So if there is a man that went with my mother back in the 50s in Duncan, BC., please let me know. Your name may be something else, I don't know! She also went with someone namd Dirk around the same time and so I am not sure if he is my father or who may know who my father is.

Searching for natural mother and possibly 6 half-siblings. My mother was 28, born in England with 6 children in 1951. In 2000, I found out that that info while doing the family 'history' when my father passed away. He had been adopted and I was searching for his family when I found out that although I wasn't adopted, I needed to locate my natural mother. I have no name as my mother went to hospital posing as my dad's wife, Mrs. Georgina Lounsbury. She went to Toronto East General Hospital where I was born on Aug 24, 1951. After 5 days she left the hospital handing me over to the Lounsbury's to raise. Dr. Solomon Bond was her physician and although he has since passed away, his office was on Broadview Avenue in Toronto and since the Lounsbury's didn't live all that far away at the time (on 47 Austin Avenue) I feel there has to be someone still alive that still remembers something. Anyone with info, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Searching for my birth sister born at Toronto General Hospital Jan 1956. Her birth name was Catherine Cranston (may have been spelled Kranston incorrectly) and she was adopted through the Wentworth County CAS and the adoption was finalized in June 1957 in Hamilton. The adoptive parents were older, fairly prosperous, and both above average height. They had previously adopted 2 boys who were 4 and 5 years old when she was adopted. The family lived in a rural area on a "hobby farm" possibly in the Dundas or Ancaster area, likely somewhere near Hamilton. I have been searching for her for 15 years but she is not listed on any of the search lists. I keep thinking that she doesn't know she was adopted or is waiting for her now quite elderly adoptive parents to pass on before searching. For 30 years I have looked at the faces of strangers on the street wondering if one of them is her. Several times people have told me that they had known someone who looks just like me but was a bit older. I now live fairly close to Hamilton and long to meet her. I want to know if I am an aunt. Neither my sister nor I had children.

Still searching for Nancy Butterworth. My adopted brother was born in Orillia Apr 1960. I do believe he has some siblings out there also. I know one was born some time around 1961 or 1962. My adopted brother had a brain aneurysm rupture and two strokes to each side of his frontal lobes in 2003 and it has left him seriously ill. There is a time factor I am against. He wants very much to meet his birthmother, birthfather and any siblings. The Toronto Western Hospital has predicted that he may develop vascular dementia in about 4 years or less. Then it would mean nothing to him to meet his birth family. I would love to give him this wish before he dies or before he looses his memory. One day I know he will not even know me. If Nancy reads this post please don’t be afraid. All I want to do is make my adopted brother’s wish come true. Thank you to all the people that have emailed me so far and I hope whatever your search may be you will connect to you missing loved one. I am not adopted so I can only imagine what it feels to have part of you feel missing. That is how my brother feels. He says he doesn’t know who he really is. He needs to find himself before I loose him.

I am descended from John Campbell (born c.1806) in Scotland and his wife Elizabeth (nee Mitchell) (born c.1806) in Berwickshire, Scotland. They had several sons: James (c1828) who left the family farm in Scotland to move to a farm in Sussex, England; Alexander (c.1831); John (c.1833) and William (c.1835) - all born in Scotland. The whole family (minus James) emigrated to Canada sometime between 1841 and 1881. I have traced them in the 1881 Canadian census to Nottasawaga in Simcoe North. At this time John and Elizabeth are living with their sons John and Alexander; and on the same census there is a William Campbell also living in the area that may well be their other son. John Campbell (senior) is a Farmer in Nottasawaga at this time. That's as much info as I know. Does anyone have any info about this branch of the Campbells, when they settled in Ontario or their descendants were/are?

FOUND NURSING RING - I'm writing this letter hoping to find the owner of an "Ontario Hospital School of Nursing" ring. I found the ring back in the mid to late 70's and then I misplaced the ring only to find it today Nov. 1st 2007. The markings on the ring are a Nursing emblem in the middle and around the outside the words "Ontario Hospital School of Nursing". Ingraved on the left side is the no. 19 and on the right side 65. Also on the inside of the ring is engraved the name Steacy 10K I found the ring in Kingston Ontario and I think it was in a city park but I'm not sure of the location. I have thought about this ring for all these years, every once in a while wondering who it belonged to. And now that I have found it again I would love to find the owner or relative of the owner of this ring. If there is anyway you can help or direct me in the right direction, graduating class of the year 1965 or reunion get togethers, that would be great.

He left home in Ottawa after a fight with his parents and didn't return to our knowledge. He has just said that he was born in the Ottawa Valley in 1906 but these records don't show that. He was a cook, worked in the mines, in logging and outfitters camps as such. He spoke French and English and wrote songs. He talked very little about his past.

She was born Cindi Lou Gabrieau, when she was adopted she was renamed Beatrice (reynolds or Raynolds not sure on the spelling) she married a man with the last name Stephen(s), then divorced and remarried Taylor (I am sorry I don't know his first name). When I found you Beatrice I respected your privacy and I never once contacted you but I did contact the oldest of your 3 daughters, Stephanie and met her and her daughter and her husband to be at the time. But there is family health history you should know. I know you asked our mother not to contact you and I am sorry if she did not respect your wishes but I do need to contact you. I am the baby of 8 kids including you and I will tell you that this family is not close knit it is a shame I know but for many many yrs my mother suffered depression because she could not find you. When I found you things started to change and now they are back to the way it always has been. You can not blame our mother for what happened if you contact me I can tell you the whole thing and you can verify it with court documents if you are willing to look for them. Seeing how I am just the child I am not allowed to access the records but seeing how they are about you they might be accessable to you. Please Beatrice if you see this or anyone knows of her that could get a message to her I will gladly do it third party wise I feel the info that I have for you is important. You should have the same birth marks as I do so I can verify who I am to you.

My gr-grandfather, Andrew Bolland, age 9, and his younger brother, Michael Bolland, age 7, are listed in the Ontario 1871 census as Irish Catholic Strays, both having been born in Ontario. I had someone check the census further, and she found they were living in an orphanage in London City named Mount Hope. This orphanage was opened in 1868 "with 2 boys from London City (Andrew and Michael, probably) and 15 children from Toronto, as well as 3 elderly people who needed care." The orphanage was affiliated with a church. I contacted the church, and they said there was nobody who could research this for me. I was also told that birth records were not kept officially until after these 2 boys were born, Andrew born in 1861 and Michael in 1863 or 1864. However, since they are listed as Catholic, I feel certain that somewhere in Ontario there are records of their baptisms, which could lead me to learn the names of their parents and then why the boys became orphaned. Did their parents die in the typhoid epidemic? Were they abandoned because of financial reasons? I hope someone can help me.
Please contact Lorene.

I'm not interested in a face to face meeting but I'm desperate for info. I now know (from the Adoption Disclosure Unit) that my birth mom's name was Bonnie Keithlynn Brunkard and she was born Oct. of 1953 (I think?).

Searching for birth father. I was born June 1956 in Toronto, as Albert Winston Keith Zaverucha. My mother's maiden name was different, and Mr. Z, her estranged husband from an arranged marriage was NOT my father. Her maiden name started with a Kolomeitz
Kolomeitz Zaverucha Albert John Ralph. My bio-father was born in 1925 to an English man and a Finnish woman in Northern Ontario. (perhaps Timmins). He had worked for 12 years in the lumber business, but in 1955 he had just started in the construction business, and was working in Cochrane, where my mother Pearl, was working as a waitress, after separating from her husband. After becoming pregnant, she found out that he was married with 3 children, and she left Cochrane for Toronto, where I was born. What were they building in Cochrane in 1955? What was the name of this construction company? What was the name of this guy who was some kind of supervisor, or lead hand of a crew? Kolomeitz I know a little about my mother's family. I know all kinds of things about my gr-grandfather that I found on the internet, but I know very little about my grandfather. Apparently my gr grandfather was born in 1885, in the Ukraine. He came to Canada, from the Ukraine in the early 1910's (maybe 1914). He was trying to make a new start here, so he could bring his wife and 3 children here from the Ukraine. In the Ukraine, he had been a shoemaker, but had also spent 3 years in the Russian Army and he might have been stationed in Vladivostok during the Russo-Japanese War, in 1904-05. His unit was there, I don't know if he was too. In 1916 he joined the Canadian Army Algonquin Regiment in Haileybury. In 1925 he became a naturalized Canadian, and was listed as a farmer, in the same township that my birth-mother grew up in, on a farm east of Cochrane. Brower Kolomeitz I know so much about this one individual, but know next to nothing about the rest of my birth family. My maternal grandmother was apparently French-Canadian. In 1994 she was widowed and remarried, and living in Southern Ontario somewhere. I know this, but I don't know her maiden name. I know I have one uncle who is only 5 years older than me, and I have cousins, but I don't want to upset the apple cart, by intruding into their space. Sure, I wouldn't mind some contact, but I don't want to push. Aurora Richmond Hill I would like to trace the French-Canadian, Finnish, and English ancestry back, but I need names. I have had a good life, and was adopted by a very good family, so I am not after anything from these people, other than facts. Sure, I would love to meet them and talk, who wouldn't? But what I really want is surnames, grandparents names, medical history, etc. or any other info would be appreciated. I am trying to build a family history. It would be nice to have faces and voices to put to the names, but beggars can't be choosers.
I don't even know if my mother is still living. She was in 1994, and I was hoping that I would hear from her, but I have moved since then. If she is still out there, I want her to know that I don't blame her one bit for what she had to do back then. She was young, and scared, and alone in the big city. Like I said, I've had a good life with a good family, so her decision to put me up for adoption went well. She needs to know that, and she needs to know that she has a gr-grandchild, and another on the way. My granddaughter asked me about my grandparents, and I don't have a thing to tell her. I can show her a picture of my birth-mother but that's about all. If she is still alive, we could meet for an hour or so, and then I would leave her alone to go back to her life. She could talk to her granddaughter who resembles her very much, and her gr-granddaughter who is very wise for 7 years old.
Please contact Albert.

He use to visit my mother in her apt and he had a older daughter around the age of 10 or 11 who once in awhile came with him and she wold play with my brother and sister. I cant remember if it is said that this man was married or not and this is why my mother might of NOT told him of my birth. I was born in Scarborough General. I apparently was a twin.

Highway QEW. She was born in 1948. Indian ancestry and Protestant in Faith. Our birthmother left home at 16 years of age and lived in a commonlaw relationship with our birthfather. In this relationship lasted 4 years and from this relationship there were 2 children, a sister who resided with the paternal grandmother and my self. Our birthmother frequently turned to alcohol to compenste for the blows life had dealt her. FATHER: He was born in 1946 and was a Native Indian. He was employed in construction work. Shortly after our birthmother was killed, he contacted the agency indicating that he resided with his mother on weekends and worked in the United States during the week. He cared for our mother, financially from time to time. He stated that his mother had cared for my birth sister since she was an infant and that our birth mother had taken my brother and I to see him about a month before her death. Our birthfather was not in a position to care or make plans for us. We were placed in an emergency foster home as our mother could not look after us. At a court hearing on June 14th, 1972. Made a ward of the Children's Aid Society until Sept 1972. At the court hearing, our birthmother requested that my brother and I be placed in the same foster home if possible and I was moved to reside with him Michael. On Dec 1, 1972 we were placed on Adoption Probation with my brother in our mew home and family of the BROWN family. Final Adoption Order was signed Oct 10, 1973. As I know just the middle and last names were changed "Veronica Wendy Brown". DOB: Jan '69. in the City of St. Catharines. Michael's name to was changed too. His DOB: Aug '70 in the City of Hamilton. The Agency: The Hamilton Wentworth Children's Aid Society. They became involed with our family in Nov 1971 when our birthmother was in jail for being intoxicated and there was no one to look after us. Again in Mar 1972 CAS received info that our birthmother had left us lone and she went out drinking. Our maternal Aunt looked after us till our birthmother understood the risk of leaving us. She again alcohol problem was out of control. In May 1972 another call to CAS we were left again.... Now our birthmother realized she was unable to care for us and signed Temporary Care papers. And time to time she visited us in the centre and during that time, she had been killed.... And Our lives had changed. Who am I? I wonder do I look like her. How are they? Are they still alive? My back ground history is a blank. We are now in our 30's up. Have Children of our own.... PLEASE!!! We are the lost Children and just need help. Living in Ontario still. At the time our birthfather could not look after us as he was awaiting trial on a serious criminal charge, but there is no confirmation of this. Please Help.

That is who I am trying to locate. There was a 3 year old sister also given up for adoption but to an aunt whom we don’t know. John’s biological mother died of Asiatic flu and John was born pre-maturely. Hilda and Vince had their own son who is 7 years older than John. They also adopted 2 girls from another family. John died Feb. 12, 2006 and we would like to locate his biological father and sister if they are still alive. We do not know if the sister is aware she had a baby brother.

John was not curious to find out about his biological family but I think it would help his 12 year old son deal with his death if he knew there were other family members available.

I'm searching out every search engine out there and hitting brick walls. I'm looking for my adopted daughters biological brother and sister by the
names of Melanie and Tyler Trump. Those were there names at birth. Melanie being born in Sept of 1984 or 1985, and Tyler I am not sure of his birth date. Melissa is my daughter and I adopted her in 96 when she was six years old. Melanie and Tyler were placed up for Crown Wardship when Missy was about less than a year old. I have pictures of all 3 kids at Christmas
of 1990 all sitting together, and it eats at my daughters heart that she doesnt know them. All 3 children were born to Rosemary Trump DOB April 61 and father unknown. The older children were apprehended by Toronto Childrens Aid Society when the biolgical mother was still pregant with
Melissa. Due to neglect, and the fact that Melissa was a very hard child to handle due to health reasons, the biological mother asked me to care for her child, and later lost her to the Ontario Courts. Biological mother had 2 sisters and 3 sisters, and all lived in the Toronto area, mainly Blake Street in the Gerrard area of Toronto. I have a feeling that Melanie and
Tyler live in the areas of Oshawa or Whitby, but am not sure. No one is willling to give me any info on these children, who are now respectively 22 and perhaps 18 or 19 years old now. Both children were blonde hair, blue eyed kids just like their mother. Melissa being part Jamaican and obviously a diffferent father then the other two. Tyler's biological father was unfortunately murdered in Toronto in the early nineties, otherwise he would have taken care of the kids. He was very close to Melissa and raised her up until his untimely death. I am hoping to find these kids so a reunion can take place, so any info that anyone can give me would be greatly appreciated.

I tried before to trace a Canadian soldier named A. Carroll, who was in the Netherlands after the liberation of my country in the summer and the fall of 1945, but until now without success. Mister A. Carroll does appear on the 1939/1945 nominal regimental roll off the Governor General’s Horse Guards. Because of this he would have been with the regiment in England, then a short stop in North Africa, then on to Italy and the Liri Valley and then to Europe and Holland. Mister A. Carroll was billeted in our house (Family Dik / Venestraat 54 in Assen) in the summer and the fall of 1945. Next door there was also a Canadian soldier billeted. His name was Armstrong. On the nominal roll of the Governor General’s Horse Guards 1939/1945 there are 7 ARMSTRONG’s: E.L. - F.J. - G. - G.L. - G.W. - J.S. and V.C. I am searching for the Armstrong who was billeted at home of the family Weggemans / Venestraat 52 Assen before his repatriation to Canada. Maybe through him I can trace mister A. Carroll. I hope there someone overthere who can help me further. Kind Regards from Holland.
