Looking for the old Waterloo Cemetery that was located in Kingston Ontario. I am looking for the grave site for Colonel John Thorne Weyland, born in 1789, Exeter, Devonshire, England had a very impressive military record, joining at age 17. He served with the British Army's 8th. Kings Own Regiment as a major at Queenston Heights under General Sir Isaac Brock in the 1812 War, and took part in the battles on Lundy's Lane and Crysler's Farm. He was wounded in action 06 June 1813 at the battle of Stoney Creek. After peace was restored between Canada and the United States, Colonel Weyland was posted to various British outposts of the empire, including garrisons in Wales and Ireland. John Weyland married Elizabeth Fleming, 09 Feb 1812, daughter of Richard Fleming, Ordinance Store Keeper in Quebec City. Among other papers in our possession, we learn that he had land and property at Iles-Aux-Noix, Chambly, Kingston and on Adelaide Street in Toronto. Col. John died in 1901, many years after Elizabeth who died 24 Sept., 1869. Most of the Weyland family is buried in the Saint Paul's Anglican Church Cemetery in Marbleton, Quebec. Yet we have found info on his burial in the Waterloo Cemetary. If anyone has any info regarding the whereabouts of this cemetery or any relevent info of John Thorn or his wife Elizabeth Fleming, please contact me.

I was born Apr 7/55 at Hopital de la Misericorde. My birth name was Suzanne Dufour. I was adopted by Simone Dumais and Roger Gagnon on June 19/55. My birth mother was 33 years old at my birth and was having a relationship with a man of 38 years old. She had been dating him for 4 years. When she announced her pregnancy he then admitted he was married. She had to give me up reluctantly as she was taking care of her mother of 59 (her father died of a massive heart attack at 60) years old and 3 brother and 4 sisters. She even enquired about how I was a few months later to make sure I was ok. She cried as she probably would have wanted to keep me. She was from the Montreal area. Unfortunately she passed away at 78 years old around year 2000 of cancer. Looking for any family member.

In 1996 I received a call from the agency in Montreal that they discovered she was living in Florida, with a heart condition. The rest of her family is living in Montreal.

Is it possible to obtain the birth records of my mother's birth and her subsequent eight months at the Montreal Foundling and Baby Hospital? My mother was adopted from there June 17,1927 by Mr. and Mrs. W.G.Murray of Verdun. My mother's biological mother was Catharine Ross of Montreal but we do not know that name of the biological father. My mother is in very bad health and it is her dying wish to know more (anything) of her birth parents. Mother's birth name was Doreen Ross born Oct 10, 1926 we believe at Doctor's Hospital in Montreal.
We were given to understand that the Foundling Home burnt down hence no records were available but evidently this is not factual. I am disppointed that we did not know this. How can I get more info of how to obtain old birth records from this old hospital?

I do know that my birth mother was a waitress and father was a train conductor at the time of my adoption. I believe that every child should know where they come from and I am asking if anyone knows the Maltais family from Quebec that may have some info of the events that took place. I have always felt ALONE is this world, never knowing where I fit in and at this time in my life I desperately would like to know my heritage. I am 45 now with 2 children of my own along with a beautiful grand daughter. I live in the United States (Virginia) and can only hope that someone out there is also searching for ME. I will post more info once I can locate all my adoption papers. I do have a letter from the adoption agency along with my baptism papers which give the location of my adoption along with all the dates. I wrote this agency in 1987 when I was pregnant with my son and they wrote me back and told me that my mother didn't want anything to do with me. Come on now!!! How cruel is that? I don’t want to disrupt anyone lives but you have to wonder what happened to me and if I am OK. The reason I am now so anxious to meet them is because I also had an adopted brother (from another family) who passed away 16 years ago and a year after he passed my adoptive mother received a letter from the adoption agency saying that the birth mother wanted to meet her son. Well, needless to say she was a year too late because he had passed away. He also always felt left out and I can only imagine if he could have had the chance to meet her what that would have meant to him. So if there is anyone out there who can help me please don't hesitate to email me.

Searching for birth family. I would like to find my b-mothers grave with hopes that some of my b-family's names might be on this. My info is: I was born Feb 26th, 1954 in Quebec, to a 29 year old protestant woman of Scottish descent. I was born at home and remained with my biological mother until Aug 1954. I was then placed with the Red feather Children's Services Centre, now known as the Villemarie Social Service Centre for adoption. I was placed in a foster home for adoption and on Dec 1st, 1954 placed with a very loving family. My biological mother had 3 brothers and 1 sister. I am informed that my maternal grandparents were healthy. My paternal grandmother was apparently alive at the time of my birth. My biological mother is described as being 5 foot 2 inches tall, with brown eyes, brown hair, fair complexion and a plump build. She had separated from her own family at the age of 17. In her late forties she had rheumatic fever resulting in heart valve damage and died in 1980 (at the age of 58) of a heart attack in Montreal Que.
I am also searching for another grave that of my half sister born 1947- Died at 48 months of Meningitis. I do not have a name so this might be impossible. Again had the thought of possible names of my b-family on her grave stone. I should mention that I am 7th born of 8 children all adopted out except for my oldest half brother who remained with my b-mother. I have so far found 2 brothers. I was given this info some time back from the Ville Marie services that at the time had a project of sorts giving adopted people the opportunity to search for their b-families. I was very grateful to have a kind worker who did as much as she could. I have since asked for more info with possible more names but this seems to be impossible once again. It would be good if Quebec would open their records as with other provinces doing this.

Daughter looking for birth mother or father. I am half-Indian&half-White. I was told I was in an orphanage in Montreal the first six months of my life. I was born Mar 30, 1948. Six months later I was adopted by Mary J & Armand Bedard of Newport Vermont. My issue really stems from needing a birth cert from Canada or the USA and cannot obtain one (my original adopted one was stolen) My name before adoption was marie Colette Pila and after adoption was Lucille Rita Bedard. Any info will help a great deal. It is not a good feeling not to exist.

I have not found a child's name of Joseph Alexander on any other Canadian census records that could be him. The family was Catholic with possible Scottish ancestry. According to the info I have been able to find he was born in Quebec, Canada to Joseph Alexander and Sarah about 1840. Do you know if there was an orphanage there? He gave his mothers name as Sarah on his 2nd marriage registration. \His parents were born in Ireland. On one of the Albany, Albany Co. census records he stated that he was born in Montreal. He was first noted in the Albany City Directory in 1863. He married a Elisabeth Burns, born about 1846 in Canada to a William Burns.

I am doing a genealogy search for our family. My gr grandmother was Adelaide St. Pierre she was born in Quebec Province somewhere between 1849 – 1854. She died in Fall River Massachusetts in March 1935. I have her fathers name as Benjamin St. Pierre born in Canada, however, her death cert says mother “cannot be learned”. The person to notify is George Lavoie my grandfather and I know that this document is Adelaide’s as it gives my grandfathers address in New York, which is the house where I was born. It has her husband listed as Lucien Lavoie as deceased. I have found some census on line which I believe are correct and it gives her mother with two different spellings Cazarie Celarie.

I was born on May 1st 1947 to a Rachel Bromberg who was 25 years of age at that time not married and was Jewish. The birth location was private in an old brownstone building on Laval street in Montreal Quebec. She would be 89 years of age now and I do not know if she was Canadian or from the United States perhaps New York or New Jersey. In this private clinic the Drs. name was Weinstein or Weinberg and if not mistaken his assisting nurse was possibly his sister or a family member. Perhaps my biological father was not of the same religion, I have no knowledge at all about his fate but would also like to very much have known about him and what they looked like and how I might be similar to them. My biological mother would have been quite pretty as my adoptive mother said she only saw her through the window immediately after I was born. If my Biological folks connected or even if not, Rachel Bromberg or her immediate family members today, would know something. I have been curious since a child to know if I had any other siblings, as I grew up an only child and family is very important to me. Before it may be to late, I would just like to know or see some pictures of her or him and her family today. Hopefully their health is still intact.

I'm searching for my full brother born before our parents
were married. They married in 1955. Since they met in 1953, my guess is that the
baby boy was born in 1953 or 1954. I do not have the date, or name. My Mother
moved from Nova Scotia, away from her family when she found out she was
pregnant. She never told her parents. She did tell her sister. She moved to
Montreal and was working for Bell Telephone. She was staying with a couple as a
boarder while she was pregnant. The adoption was private and the story is that
the baby boy was adopted by some friends of the couple that owned the home where
she was living. The adoptive family may have been Jewish, and perhaps the couple
where she boarded. I was born in 1967 and I did not find out I had a full
brother until I was an adult. My Mother passed away in 1974 so we have no way of
finding even a birth date. Father (deceased). Cecil Allan Zimmer - Hazel eys,
brown hair - 7/22/1932 born in Bruno, Saskatchewan, Canada. Mother (deceased)

There was a Jewish Adoption agency that handled my adoption. I have an old

that she was depressed. Then one day she stopped writing. I assume she had moved
on. I am 49 years old now and have always wondered what happened. At my age, I
may not be able to actually meet or be given the chance to know her. I fully

Looking for info on John and Jane Langford. The Langford's
came from Wales to Montreal in the late 1800's. John worked as the groundskeeper
at Mount Royal Cemetery. I believe they may have lived in a property on the
cemetery grounds (probably around 1904). The Langford's raised Jane's nephew,
Stanley Davies, who was my father. I have a certificate from a school in
Outremont (called Strathcona) in 1903 when Stanley graduated from primer school.
Both John and Stanley were members of a Masonic Lodge in Quebec. I think
sometime in the late 1920's Stanley left Canada to work as a landscaper in the
Detroit Michigan area. Jane at some time suffered from melancholy depression and
lived at the Verdum Protestant Hospital until her death in 1940. I'm not sure
when she went there, but she was 83 when she died. I also believe she had other
relatives from Wales living in the Montreal area. I believe John died around
1950 somewhere around Ontario. I know jane is buried in Mount Royal Cemetery and
I believe John may be there, as well. Please contact David.

Looking for any info on Malcolm Fraser of Three Rivers,
Quebec who came to Canada in 1759 with the Fraser Highlander's 78th Regiment. He
settled in Three Rivers and became a merchant/auctioneer. He married Grizel
McIntosh abt 1768 and together they raised 5 children, John, Jeanne, Malcon,
Jacques and Peter. I understand he was somehow involved when the Americans tried
to take over Quebec in 1775. Would appreciate any info on this man or any of his
descendants. Also, looking for any info on a certain Pierre D'Allaire or Allaire
who worked for the North West Fur Trading Company from at least 1802. A certain
Pierre Allaire from Ile de Jesus signed on with the North West Company in 1788
but it is not known if this is the same man. Pierre D'Allaire worked for many
years with Simon Fraser, explorer and accompanied him on the latter's
exploration of the Fraser River. Would also be very grateful to hear from any
descendants of Pierre D'Allaire. Please contact Barbara.

Trying to do a family tree on my grandmothers side. Her name
was Rose Alice Joyal. She was born Aug 4, 1889. I don't know for sure if she was
born in Canada or in the US in Woonsocket or Warwick, Rhode Island. According to
what I found, Rosalie Joyal's parents were "Paul Joyal and Rose Bienvenue". What
I did find in my research was "Rosalie Joyal" married Eduard (Edward) Claing,
St-Aime sur Richelieu, Quebec Canada Mar 13, 1913. My mother was born Marie
Blanche Alice Claing on Apr 2, 1914 in Canada, but don't know where in Canada.
My grandmother also had 3 more children by the name of Ovide, Paul, & Joseph
Etienne Claing. My mother came to Rhode Island when she was young. As the story
goes when my grandmother and grandfather lived in Canada, my grandmother wanted
to move back to the US, and my grandfather (Edward Claing) did not, so my
grandmother left him and came back to the U.S. If anyone knows of any of my
"Joyal" decendents starting with my grandfather, I would appreciate it. Please
contact Ms46north@wmconnect.com.

A George Currie was born in Montreal around 1824 either of
Scottish or Irish descent. He was from the Church of England. Around 1851, he
married Bridget Spooner Pearson in or near Buckingham, Que. She was Catholic.
Her first marriage was to a William Pearson, also Protestant. He died in 1844
and is buried at St. Stephen's Anglican Cemetery in in Buckingham (now part of
the metro Gatineau area) east of Hull. George Currie died on 9 Aug 1875, age 51,
in Buckingham; buried at St. Stephen's Anglican Cemetery. Bridget Spooner
Pearson Currie died in 1891 and is buried at Ste. Gregorie's Catholic Cemetery
in Buckingham. Sons born to them in this order were my g-grandfather William
Henry Currie in 1853, George in 1854, John Thomas in 1859, and Stephen Miles
Currie in 1862. Perhaps the family used Irish naming patterns. However, was it
not possible for mixed marriages in Quebec during those years? How then did
marriages take place? Christening records in Montreal have not proven fruitful.
Any suggestions on how to proceed? Please contact Dan.

born in Que. He had a sister who played piano and a brother. He left home in
Ottawa after a fight with his parents and didn't return to our knowledge. He has

show that. He was a cook, worked in the mines, in logging and outfitters camps

About 1928, my now deceased aunt had a baby in Quebec-maybe

wedlock, she was sent on 'grande vacance' to secretly have the child. She did
this, and returned to NH. I believe she went to the Quebec City area, though I
am not certain. She had a female child. My aunt's name was Mabel Dion (her
parents: Napoleon Dion and Marie Cadorette). No one in my family could be hurt
by my knowing who this female child, as they are all deceased. I have no great
need to know who this female child was, and I certainly do not want to interfere
in her life. I just thought, maybe, she would like to see what her birth mother

if the census is correct. Their sons Robert and William were born on Nov 4, 1893
and 1898, respectably. The 1901 Montreal census didn't show Sarah but her sister
Abigail Parker 19 years old along with the father and 2 sons. On the 1920 the
family emigrated to the US Potsdam NY in 1905. Now Robert's wife was Clara and
she was born in NY. It also showed William as single. Robert the son was listed
on the 1920 Illinois census and was at Camp Grant in the Army. Ten years later
on the 1930 census the father owned a farm and was living with his son William,
Williams wife Anna and their 3 children, Edward, Marguerite and William. Robert
left the military sometime before his marriage on Mar 17, 1921 to Marie. They

of Donald. I've been stuck for awhile now and would like to locate the final

I am desperately trying to locate ancestry of my g-g
grandparents who moved to Manitoba late 1800’s. Their names were Francois
Desrochers and Therese Roy. I have been told that they came from the
Drummondville, Quebec area. I’ve hit a brick wall with them. I may have a bite
on Therese Roy’s parents, but still checking. With the Desrochers I’m not sure
if he was from the Houde (also my ancestry) family or from the Brien-Desrochers.
I’m hoping that someone in Quebec has access to records that would indicate
their parents names, or any info that would help me continue this search. I’m
not sure if the stories over the years are right but the Desrochers apparently
came from France and originally settled in Nova Scotia around 1700. Please

Searching for Curtis Douglas. My family welcomed Curtis into
our home close to 15 years ago. He was born in the Montreal Children's Hospital.
After birth the doctors needed to perform a Tracheotomy. My family applied to
become his foster family and we were blessed by being chosen. Aprox 4 years
after we welcomed Curtis into out family my mother passed away and we were then
unable to care for this child. My mother and the rest of our family gave 100% to
Curtis so he could have a better life. Prior to bringing him into our family,
Curtis had never left the hospital. His first snowman, first Halloween, first
Ice Cream cone..etc.. Our family has been searching for Curtis for a long time
to no avail. Curtis had no brothers or sisters. He was very interested in
medicine. Curtis Douglas, Color: Black Age: Aprox 19-21 Location: Montreal area
(Last known location) Any assistance locating Curtis would be wonderfull. Please
contact Derek.
