BELL
Seeking to find the following Bell children - if came to PEI or moved to states or ON or remained in SCT - all children baptised in Inverary and Glenary Isabel Bell born Feb 22 1769, Duncan Bell born Nov 10 1770, Dougald Bell born Apr 19 1776, Donald Bell bron July 20 1778, Catherine Bell married my Archie Shaw - her line is known - Agnes Bell born March 21 1781.

Must be other Bells on and off the Island who are trying to connect their tree. The parents of these children are Archie Bell and Mary Bell married Jan 21, 1769 Inverary and Glenary.....both born abt 1735 circa....

It is highly possible that they arrived to PEI before their sibling Catherine Bell whom I believe came in 1819. It is even possible that the parents, Archie and Mary Bell (yes, both were Bell's) came with them to PEI without all their children....could Archie have remarried? Who is the Archie buried in Wood Islands born abt 1774. Does not appear to be many Bell graves to uncover on PEI...or I have missed them.

My Shaw tree is available on the register and shows strong connections to two different McNeill lines, and we have connection to McPhails, McPhees, McDonalds, McNevins, McKinnons, Beers, all orginally settling around Argyle Shore areas - Nine Mile Creek, Canoe Cove, St. Catherines, etc.

Thanks for any help.

CAMPBELL
I am looking for information on William James Campbell. He left PEI (c. 1900?)to attend the Bangor Theological Seminary in Bangor, Maine. There he met and married Clara "Carrie" Green, a librarian at the seminary. They had one child, a daughter, Louise Green Campbell, who was born in Cambridge, MA, on July 26, 1907 and died in Franklin, NH in October 1996, having married Stephen C. F. Rose, who predeceased her, late in her life. William James Campbell became a Congregational minister and in the 1920's served at a church in Ohio. He later taught in the School of Divinity at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. Carrie Green Campbell died in Maine in the late 1950's; William James Campbell predeceased her.

I would appreciate any information on William James Campbell or on Clara Green Campbell, or links to their ancestors.

Many thanks.

CATHERINE MCKENNA
I am interested in my ancestor Catherine McKenna. Family stories say she came from County Cork in Ireland, but on all census I have on her she has birth place Charlottetown PEI. and an approx DOB from this would be 1841.
I have just found her marriage to Henry Burton in Halifax Nova Scotia 24 April 1869 (he was an English soldier)Then the birth of son Henry Burton June 1869 in Halifax, after which they returned to UK and no mention of the son again.
In the marriage info parents are listed as Patrick and Elizabeth McKenna.
Has anyone come across any of these people on PEI? Was Catherine born on the island?
Any information gratefully received

DONALD MACDOUGALL AND CATHERINE MACDONALD
Marie Dwan, only daughter of Catherine MacDougall and Richard E. Dwan and most likely the eldest living descendant of this circa 1790 Prince County pioneer settler family, will celebrate her 103rd birthday on 6 January 2007.

She is a 2nd cousin of the compiler of this family's lineage - Philip MacDougall and his sister Mrs. Patricia MacDougall Mella, past Treaurer of PEI. Marie would be a cousin of most Lot 14 families and their descendants with surnames of Brown, Cameron, Gillis, MacDonald, MacDougall, MacKinnon, MacLellan, MacMillan, MacNeill, Praught, and Walsh/Welch among others.

Her daughter, Barbara McGovern, 27 Richie Road, Quincy, MA 02169, will host a small birthday party for still 'bright as a button' mother. Best wishes and prayers would be appreciated.

PANMURE ISLAND PIONEER CEMETERY
Hello all,

I have today put in the mail a request to have the Panmure Island Pioneer Cemetery designated an ‘Ancient Burial Ground’ under the Act of the same name, which is administered by the Attorney General’s office of PEI. If granted, this designation will guarantee that access to this cemetery by the public will never be denied. As this cemetery resides on land owned by the Government of PEI, this access would probably never be denied anyway, unless the PEI Government at some point in the future decided to dispose of this land.

Another concern that has been brought to my attention, is that access to this parcel of land owned by the PEI Government requires crossing over privately owned land via a private lane way. This is not an issue. The Government informed me that numerous years ago they negotiated a deeded, public Right Of Way over this laneway to the public lands. So next time you are interested in talking a walk to the cemetery, please do so! (And let me know how it is surviving!).

As always, I am looking for information on this cemetery, including those buried there.... info on the history of the cemetery and surrounding area... email addresses of those interested in keeping touch on this topic.... etc!

Best wishes for The Season!
Terry

Island Register IRC Chat Channel
Since 2001, the Island Register has its own chat server set up on IRC. At the request of Marge Reid, a constant user of the channel, we are opening up chats to all subjects Maritime, covering conversations about all of Maritime Canada.

· Friday night Scheduled chats will be held at 10 p.m. Atlantic time (9 p.m. Eastern, 8 p.m. Central, 7 p.m. Mountain, 6 p.m. Pacific, etc.)

· To help people get together at other times, Marge Reid will try to be on the channel at 11 p.m. Atlantic time (10 p.m. Eastern, 9 p.m. Central, 8 p.m. Mountain, 7 p.m. Pacific, etc.) on Wednesday nights, and daily except Wednesdays at 1 p.m. Atlantic time (noon Eastern, 11 a.m. Central, 10 a.m. Mountain, 9 a.m. Pacific, etc.) [ snowball.darktech.org, #islandregister ]

The Island Register has its own IRC server set up at the above address - you can use either the on page IRC client that you will find at http://www.islandregister.com/chat.html (This on-line Java program will work with current versions of Internet Explorer, Netscape, and Firefox) - or you can use mIRC or another IRC program to access the chat site. I have recently updated this program to its latest version, so it will work even with the new 1.50 version of Java, which broke the earlier versions of the program.

Either way, it is simple to get on, and to have a text based chat with other Maritime Canada researchers. The more people that attend each day, the better the chats and exchanges of information will be. Please try out our chats. The regulars truly enjoy them, but it would be nice to have some "new blood" attending. Come and pick the brains of others researching Maritime families!

William Henry Alexander CANTELO (John Salmon, John Salmon, James, John, James, John) was born on 29 Feb 1868 in Grand River, Prince Edward Island, Canada. He died on 6 Dec 1930 in Grand River, Prince Edward Island, Canada.
William married (1) MOSHER.
Notes: Mrs. Mosher was the widow of Captain Mosher -PEI
William also married (2) Louise in 1894. Louise was born in 1875 in England.
I suspect that the two above wives should be reversed. I am looking for more info on the Mosher, widow of Capt. Mosher. I would like to also know her first name if possible. She may be the widow of Capt Michael Mosher. I have checked the Acorn Cemetery but to no avail.

Matheson, Roderick of Charlottetown
I just searched the PEI Baptismal Index website and found this record which had not been there on previous visits: Baptismal of Roderick Mathieson b. 1 April 1851 Charlottetown, Baptismal 31 Dec 1854, parents John Matheson & Isabel Nicholson, St James Charlottetown, Record Book 1 Page 21.
I'm fairly certain that this Roderick is my Great Grandfather. The birth date closely matches later census records and in the 1881 Isabel is living with Roderick and his wife Sarah Macleod in Charlottetown.
I would be interested in discussing this with more experienced researchers than myself.

McAulay
I am looking for anyone who may be researching members of this family. Letters to my Grandfather, Ronald A. MacDonald, from his cousin Velma have given me bits and pieces of this family but am having trouble tying them all in. I cannot find any baptismal info or census information for James' daughter, Teresa who was born about 1852. James Married Mary McCormack. I can account for children Sarah, Angus, Catherine, Michael, and Peter McAulay. I have yet to find Hugh, or my GGrandmother, Teresa in any baptismal records. Teresa was a twin and her sister may have been Annie.

Obituary

At McAulay's Settlement, Lot 52, on March 31st, James McAulay, Sr., of that place, passed away, leaving a widow and eight children (living) to mourn their loss. Mr. McAulay was one of the pioneers of King's County, and was born at Warren Farm, near Charlottetown, in 1810, his father being the late Hugh McAulay, farmer for the Governor of P. E. Island at that time. When quite a young man, James McAulay learned the trade of tailoring, and busily plied his needle and scissors among the early settlers of King's County. Afterwards purchasing a block of land on Lot 52, when it was in a wilderness state,
he lived to see the forest disappear and broad fields and substantial buildings take its place. Mr. McAulay was well and deservedly respected by his friends and neighbors, and for many years was a delegate from his settlement to the King's County Liberal-Conservative Association, of which he was a warm and loyal supporter.

Any info would be much appreciated.

- 4 Apr 1880, Agnes daughter of Philip Gaudet & Ann Theriau.
- 6 Sep 1882, James son of Philip Gaudet & Ann Theriau.
Does anyone know who are the parents of Philip Gaudet & Ann Theriau?
I suspect an error in the family name. Might be Gaudin instead of Gaudet.
Thanks

THE 2006 GALA ST. ANDREW'S DINNER & CALEDONIAN ISLAND PETROLEUM AWARDS
With Island Fiddler BILLY MACINNIS:

The Caledonian Club of PEI is pleased once again to present the gala St. Andrew's Dinner and Awards night, on Friday, November 24th 2006, at the Holy Redeemer Church Hall, 7 Pond Street, Charlottetown. The reception gets underway from 6:30 - 7:00 p.m., with a cash bar and entertainment, followed by the piping in of the head table guests who will include the Honorary Patron, Lt.-Governor of PEI. Barbara Hagerman, chief Cecil MacPhail, president Fred MacLaine, representatives from Government and City of Charlottetown, and keynote speaker Mr. Gary MacDougall. The traditional roast beef dinner will commence at 7:00, clansman, Blair MacPhail will perform the ceremony "Ode to the Haggis."

With the swirl of a kilt, the chief of the clan, and master of ceremonies for the evening, Cecil MacPhail will take to center stage to do what he does best! This year's special entertainer Billy MacInnis will set the mood with some Scottish fiddle tunes. Billy has just completed another Canadian Tour with the legendary Stompon'Tom and according to the master, Billy is not only a great fiddler and keyboard player but has thrilled crowds across Canada, receiving standing ovations at each performance.

The club is thrilled to have as our guest speaker Mr. Gary MacDougall, Managing Editor of The Guardian. With his quiet Scottish charm and wit he will please the crowd with a special tribute to War Brides, remembering them for their contribution and adventurous spirit during the Second World War.

The Caledonian Island Petroleum Award will be presented to the talented Chassion Family from Souris, for the many years they entertained Islanders with traditional grassroots music and the contribution made to keeping the community spirit alive across the Island. The Awards are given to organizations or individuals who have helped to promote and preserve the Scottish culture here on PEI.

The Caledonian Club strives to keep the old Scottish customs in the forefront by presenting re-enactments from the 'old country', this one being the celebration of the St. Andrew's dinner, and recognizing the patron saint St. Andrew. All will be invited to raise a glass - with or without alcohol in a toast, and enjoy a feast in his honour. We invite all Scots to show 'their colours' and wear a clan tartan, in respect for the many pioneers who left Scotland and made a new life for their family in the tiny Isle in on the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

We are proud to deep the Caledonian Flame burning! Last years dinner was the largest on record with this year's dinner gearing up to be better yet! A membership table will be provided for new memberships as well as renewals for 2007. Dinner tickets will be sold in advance at a cost of $20 per person, and may be purchased from club members. For further information contact 368-737 or 675-2210, or drop by Master Cleaners, 155 Belvedere Avenue. We are looking forward to seeing you there!

COSTELLO
On the Island Register site, there are listed for the 1848 census of lot 31 four Costello families. John who lives in Bannockburn and Peter, Wm. and Matt+, all of Tryon road. John, Peter and Wm. are all mentioned in Frank Costello's "The Costello Families of Prince Edward Island" and appear in future records. Matt, however, is a mystery. I can find no other reference to him, anywhere. He was a farmer, age between 16 and 45. The household consisted of him, a woman between 16 and 45, and two girls under 16.

It would seem that some relationship existed between he and the other two Costellos of Tryon road, but I find no reference anywhere, except for a line on page 122 of the Costello families book, which lists a Matthew as a son of Pierce Patrick who was born, and remained in Ireland. Could it be that he actually came to PEI with the rest, married and had two daughters and died young?

If anyone has any reference to this Matthew, I would appreciate any information that could help to clear the waters. I wonder how Frank missed this one?

Hello, I am looking for someone else who might have done or is in the process of doing some research on the Skerry family of PEI. My Great Grandfather James Skerry 1879-1953 is the son of William Skerry Born Approx 1843. Beyond this I know that William's Father's name is also William and all I know of him is that he was supposedly from Ireland and at 19 was shipwrecked and the sole survivor of the wreck with also a small dog.They washed ashore at Howards cove, Cape Wolfe. Apparently he married an Anne Coughlin from West Cape. He also had a farm in Mill River later owned by Dan Murphy. When this first William was born and died and from where in Ireland he came is a mystery. I dont know the name of the ship he wrecked on and his death is also a bit of a mystery as apparently he was rumored to have hopped a ship in Miminegash?Or was devoured by a bear on the way to the "Cookes"? I do know he sired four children of which one was my ancestor William(Aug 15,1843)Married to Ellen Ford of Ellerslie. Also John 1852?-O,ct 28 1924 Married a Charlotte Leonard. James Skerry, Born 1849, died 1899, Married Mary Steele of Charlottetown. One Daughter Mary Ellen Born 1853, Married James Cassidy of Alberton. Any info anyone may be willing to share on any of this would be greatly appreciated. I would be more than happy to share what other details my family has collected to this point. Also any information in general related to the Skerry clan would help me a lot in my research. I am finding there seems to be very few of us.

She and her older son John Edward (baptized 4 Aug 1871) move to Vernon River area and were living with Margaret's brother John at the time of the 1881 census. He is listed as Edward McDonald. Margaret and Edward are gone by the 1891 census. It is assumed she has moved to Portland, Maine. In 1895 she returns to PEI to ge married. Her marriage to Edward Fallona (son of John Fallona and Margaret Kelly) takes place at St. Joachim's Vernon River. She is found on the US census in 1900 and 1920 living in So. Portland, Maine. She gives her immigration to the US as 1892. Her husband Edward Fallona died 13 Feb 1923. He is buried in Calvary Cemetery So. Portland, Maine. She is not buried there. She is not in the South Portland Directory after 1924. Was her body shipped home to the Island for burial? Did she go and live with her son John Edward McDonald?

DUNNING
My great grandfather was Andrew (Arthur) Dunning the son of John Dunning (born in the mid 1800s) of Clinton, PEI. I have a copy of the history of Clinton and a couple pages from the 1891 census but I would be interested in collecting more information about my ancestry, especially about where John Dunning came from. There is supposed to be some controversy about whether the family name is Dunning or Dunn (not that it matters now). The census pages and the Clinton history pamphlet both say "DUNNING".

I am looking for information on Donald Matheson my great-grandfather. He was born in 1845 in Brooklyn, PEI Lot 61. He married Marget McDonald. She was born in 1845 in Scotland. Their son Donald Matheson, my grandfather, married Mary Elizabeth Bears.

I found a Donald Matheson, born 19 March 1845, place of birth Murray Harbor Road, father Archibald Matheson. mother Ann McDonald. This is a possibility due to the birth year and proximity to Brooklyn, but there are an awful lot of Donald Mathesons out there. Any info would be appreciated.

It puzzles me why I can't find information about my g. grandfather Andrew McInnis. Surely in a province as small as P.E.I., there were not that many McInnis' in the 1830's. The unfortunate part is that he left P.E.I. as a young man, married in New Brunswick and died there in his mid 40's. He had six children, but, only one lived to raise a family, that being John Henry McInnis. What we need is a McInnis P.E.I. clearing house where all info is recorded, no matter how insignificant. It disturbs me that the census, of that time, only records the head of the household, what about the originals, do they list all names in a housedold?

BURHOE / BURHO
I am trying to track down the Burhoe / Burho surname, from PEI to NB and on from there.

I have a John Robert Burho, b. 30 April 1835 in PEI, married to Dimas [sometimes referred to as Dianna] Jones on 2 July 1855 in Westmorland county, N.B. Dimas was born on 17 July 1835, daughter of William Jones and Lydia McLeod. Dimas (Jones) Burho died on 9 May 1916 at Steeves Mountain, Westmorland County, N.B. Her obituary was published in the Moncton Transcript on Wednesday, 10 May 1916, on page 2, and said: "The death of Mrs. Dimas Burho occurred at Steeves Mountain on Tuesday, May 9th. Mrs. Burho was formerly Miss Dimas Jones, the daughter of the late William Jones, of Moncton, Deceased who was 82 years of age, is survived by her husband, three sons, Irvine, Lionell, and Richard, and three daughters, Lydia, Jane, and Susan, also one brother, William Jones, and one sister, Mrs. William Jones, of Moncton."

I have 11 children for John Robert Burho & Dimas (Jones) Burho:
1. William Aaron, b. abt 1854, married Susan Nelder, moved to Maine and eventually to Minnesota
2. Duncan Irvine, b. abt 1859
3. Lionel, b. June 1863, d. 24 Jan 1922
4. John, died young
5. Lydia Ann, b. abt 1864
6. Jane, 1867 - 1953
7. Maria, b. abt 1867, d. before 9 May 1916 [date of her mother's death]
8. Richard, b. 4 June 1869, d. 1953; married (1) Jane Hope [1870-1894] and (2) Annie O'Blenis [b. March 1881]
9. John, b. abt 1876
10. Susan Minnie, b. 16 Aug 1879, d. 5 May 1946; married Wesley Whitfield Hope [he was brother to Jane, who married Richard Burho, above]
11. Margaret Elizabeth, b. abt 1887, married George Whitfield Horsman [note: this last child may be a grandchild, rather than a daughter]

If anyone is researching this family, I would be happy to exchange information with you. Any additions or corrections to what I have pieced together so far would be gratefully accepted. Thanks.

Researching Acadian Family Trees
The Acadian Research Centre of P.E.I. will be part of the open house at the Centre Belle-Alliance, on Sunday afternoon, October 22, during the Summerside Acadian Rendez-Vous.

Mr. Jean Bernard, Director of the Acadian Research Centre, as well as several volunteers, will be on hand to share information on the various resources available to anyone interested in tracing his or her genealogy. Visitors at the Centre will be able to consult the data base on the Island's Acadian families, including those from Summerside. Mr. Bernard is looking forward to sharing the information he has recently compiled on the first recorded Acadians living in Summerside.

During the activities of the Rendez-Vous, small genealogical charts will be made available to people interested in tracing their family tree. After filling in the charts with the information collected in the family, people can check the accuracy of the information they have gathered with the resource people from the Acadian Research Centre.

There will also be a panel discussion in English on genealogy and family history. It will take place on Saturday morning at 10:45 a.m. at the Centre Belle-Alliance. The theme of the discussion is "Exploring Summerside Acadian Genealogy." With Jean Bernard as facilitator, three local genealogists (Joyce DesRoches, Jacques Gallant and Richard Savidant) will talk about what they have discovered in the course of their research concerning the Acadian families of Summerside.

The public is invited to take advantage of these activities in order to learn more about their Acadian roots. The Summerside Acadian Rendez-Vous offers an ideal opportunity to explore your Acadian heritage. The Centre Belle-Alliance is located at 5 Ave. Maris Stella in Summerside.

MAC DONALD
I am trying to find the connection or the missing piece! I have a James Alexander MacDonald born 1854 at St. Andrews. Parents were Gabriel MacDonald and Ann MacDonald. Gabriel was born C1809. His baptism record lists his parents as Donald MacDonald and Mary McIntyre. Ann is born in Orwell and her parents are James MacDonald and Jane MacDonald. I know nothing about Jane. She is still alive at the time of the 1861 census. It is stated in the Maple Leaf that James Alexander counts among his first cousins Fr. Dougald MacDonald of Tignish and the Revs. John and James Augustine MacDonald of North Dakota. I can figure out the connection of the priests of North Dakota. They are the sons of Ann's brother Charles. I am missing something in connecting with Fr. Dougald. His parents are listed as as John Bornish and Mary Allisary. John Bornish's parents are listed as Donald MacDonald and Nellie MacDonald. Does anyone know the connection of James Alexander with the priest Fr. Dougald? Could Donald have had two wives? Nellie MacDonald of Allisary and then Mary McIntrye? Hoping someone can solve my mystery.

MAC DONALD
Alexander MacDonald (1778-1846)of Bear River had a large family of sons that were seamen. I read a posting that I think must have been written about 1881. It stated that the captain, and first and second mates of the ill-fated ship "Country of Richmond" lost a few weeks ago off the coast of America were grandchildren of Alexander MacDonald. I am wondering if anyone would know the names of those "grandchildren of Alexander MacDonald"? The posting also said that all of his sons except the oldest and youngest followed the sea. Who might the oldest be? Would the youngest be Donald married to Anne Fisher?
His son Captain Ronald died in 1845 so I know it would not be him. His son Captain John A. would not have had a son that followed the life of the sea. Could it have been Captain Roderick?

CFCY cancels Death Announcements
This week radio station CFCY, a member station of the Maritime Broadcasting System Limited will no longer be reading the obits at 12:30 and 5 P.M. This has been a longstanding tradition on the station - no more. This decision has a lot of people upset on the Island. If you wish to comment on this decision, their address and phone numbers are as follows:

95.1 FM CFCY
5 Prince Street
Charlottetown, PE
C1A 4P4
Main switchboard: (902) 892-1066
Fax: (902) 566-1338

Their announced reasoning is that many people changed stations when the funeral announcements came on. On the contrary, there are many people who turned on their radio to hear the announcements. I know my wife a lifelong CFCY listener has stopped listening to CFCY since these were taken off. She used to never miss the news and funeral announcements at 12:30 and 5. She is not alone. CFCY is no longer the "Down Home" station Islanders have loved forever. It is a darn shame when commercial interests replace community service. The funeral announcements were the first source for Islanders and could be heard hours after funeral arrangements had been completed. I know many like my wife - please let them know she is not alone.

I'm able to trace my name as originating up there in PEI. I know it's Arcadian and could be originated from the Lajoun (spelling ?))family back in the late 1700s. I'm planning on visiting up there this fall. My query would be, could you enlighten me as to anything about this name I have? Thank you, Bill Briard

P.E.I. HISTORY
At one time I studied a little book on Island history,"The Story of PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND", by P.R. Blakley and M.C. Vernon. I am sure that there are more sophisticated but readable books available for adults. Would someone please make some suggestions. I would like to borrow or buy one.

Thanks
