PEIGS MEETING UPCOMING!
The Annual Meeting of the PEI Genealogical Society will be held on Saturday, April 26th at Beaconsfield\'s Carriage House in Charlottetown at 2 pm.

Guest speaker will be author and well-known Island historian Dr. Edward MacDonald. He will present \"Who\'s Afraid of the Fenians? The Fenian Scare of 1866\". The Fenians were an Irish-American organization dedicated to the overthrow of British rule in Ireland. In the winter of 1866, Islanders, like other British North Americans, experienced a wave of panic, convinced that the Fenians were about to stage an attack on Prince Edward Island. Dr. MacDonald will explore the Fenian Scare and how it was exploited by the Island\'s government to serve its own ends.

Dr. MacDonald is an Associate Professor of History at UPEI, is the former editor of The Island Magazine and was Curator of History for the Prince Edward Island Museum for many years. He is the author of several books including \"If You\'re Stronghearted\" and has written over a score of articles pertaining to the history and culture of Prince Edward Island.

GOODWIN/NEWELL
My 2 great-grandmother Abigail \"Nabby\" Goodwin was supposedly a midwife and herbalist on Prince Edward Island or Pubnico, Nova Scotia. My great-grandfather married one of her daughters, Alice M Goodwin. His name was Archelaus \"Archibald\" Newell. He supposedly died at sea during a Nor\'easter. Is there any info on what ship he was on.? I\'ve been told that there is a monument commemorating the care my g-g-grandmother Abigail Goodwin provided the town. If so, how could I get a picture of it? For the Record, my father, Nehemiah Wilson Newell 15 Dec 1922- 08 April 2007 was born in Mass. and died in Reedsport, OR.

SMITH, Hedley
Found this and have one other that is a download - if anyone wants it, please email me.

Hedley Fletcher Smith
Lewis and Clark County
History of Montana, 1913

To say that Mr. Smith has had an active part in the up building of Helena is no figure of speech, although it happens to be true in both a literal and a figurative sense, for the occupation of this progressive citizen of Helena is that of a contractor and he has had a share in the erecting of more than one of its notable buildings.

Mr. Smith is a Canadian by birth, being a native of Prince Edward Island. Here he was born on April 19, 1862 on the farm of his father, Isaac Smith. In the year 1817 Christopher Smith, the grandfather of Hedley Fletcher Smith, immigrated from Yorkshire England, with his wife and infant son, Isaac. He was a civil engineer and when he came to Canada he engaged in farming besides following his profession. His son continued in the same occupation and became one of the influential citizens of that district. He lived to be more than ninety years of age and died full of years and honors in 1909. One of his brothers, the Rev. Matthew Smith, is now, at ninety-eight, still filling the pulpit of a church in New Brunswick. Age has had no power to sap the mental and spiritual vigor of this minister and the Baptist denomination of New Brunswick regards him as one of the able leaders in the army of those who climb the steep ascent to heaven, mid terror, toil and pain. Hedley Smith's mother was of Welsh descent. Her family came to America in the same year (1817) as that in which his father's people settled there. Anne Meyers was born in Canada and died in Prince Edward Island in 1900, at the age of sixty. Her people followed farming and also followed the sea-faring occupations. Mr. Smith has inherited a large share of the sturdy qualities of his ancestors and has proved himself a worthy descendant of the race which has shaped the destiny of the western hemisphere.


The provincial schools of Canada provided Mr. Smith with his elementary education and for a time after completing his study there, he worked on his father's farm. Obeying the impulse which seizes most young men to seek newer country, he went a thousand miles or so to the west and settled in Winnipeg. He remained in that flourishing town for one year, and then moved to Cooperstown where he followed the same occupation he had been working at in Winnipeg, that of a carpenter. At the end of three years, Mr. Smith left North Dakota, and in 1887 went to Butte. Half a year was then spent in the mining city of Montana, at the end of which period Mr. Smith came to Helena. He adopted the capital as his permanent residence and has been engaged in business there ever since. Until 1905 Mr. Smith did not operate as a contractor but was employed by other building concerns in various capacities of an executive nature. For nine months the state capitol was in process of erection, he was for a year and a quarter in charge of the entire force in this period, he was employed on that of W.G. Conrad for eight months, as well as upon a number of other contracts. Since starting in the contracting business, Mr. Smith has been connected with many of the most important building enterprises entered upon in Helena, during the last seven years.

Mr. Smith's family consists of four members besides himself. His eldest son, Walter Harold Smith, born in Helena in 1892 is now at work at his trade. The one daughter, Victoria Ruby is attending business college in Helena and Herbert N. is in the grades at school being thirteen years of age. Mrs. Smith was formerly Miss Anne Catherine Gallagher. Her birthplace was Ireland but she was reared in England. In 1891 she came to America alone and the same year was married to Mr. Smith at Helena.

He was married on PEI and passed away in Omaha in 1881, while his widow, long surviving, departed this life in 1914.\" These are biographies of Alfred and his brother, Charles and go into detail about their working life and personal life - wives and children.

Andrew MacDonald in Prison
Hi All
Along time ago, my Father used to tell of Andrew being in prison in Southern US. He was an excellent Gaelic singer and used to sing to pass the time. A guard heard him and as he was the only guard who understood Gaelic found out who he was and after a time managed to spring him from the prison. I had forgotten the story until I read about his capture in The Glenaladale Pioneers.
from which I quote
\"The \"Mclans of Ardnamurchan\" have their descendants in the extreme east of the province. Andrew Macdonald, born in 1745, was a merchant in Arisaig, and his wife was Isabel of the Isle of Canna Such favorable accounts were being received from Captain John’s settlers of the richness of the soil, that Andrew determined to close up his business and follow, but he first sent his brother, known afterwards as \"Big John of West River.\" (Snip)
While on a voyage to England in 1812, with one of his younger sons, the ship was captured by an American privateer, and the passengers imprisoned in Charleston, undergoing very harsh treatment for a long time.\"
Has anyone more to add to this story?
What about \"Big John of West River\". Anyone know of this fellow?
Have a good day
Paul

MY EMAIL ADDRESS IS CHANGING!
Hi Everyone:

This is just a note to tell all of you that my email address of 15 years will no longer be good after April 15th.

This is due to the sale of ISN to Eastlink, and subsequent changes by Eastlink.

The new email address is dhunter@islandregister.com

This site will also be moving over to a new server in the next week or so. This move should be relatively transparent to you - one of the advantages of havng a domain name. You will still use the same address to access the server. One day it will be on the ISN server, and the next day it will be on the good one.

It is possible that you may experience some problems using the Guestbook, Surname Database, etc. as we reconfigure them for the new server, but all of the standard pages should work fine.

When we move over to the new server, we will change all of the email links to myself at the bottom of each of the ~5000 pages to the new one - until that day, these links will point to my old address.

I had dreaded the possibility of this happening, but I had made preparations including reserving new server space for the site. I can't give you an exact timeline of the moving to the new server, but you will still use the same address, so no links or bookmarks should change, so use it as usual.

My new email address is active now, and is the preferred address to use now.

Thanks,

Dave

CALLAGHAN/O'CALLAGHAN
Need some help. Recently I sent a request for a death certificate, along with a check, to the Vital Statistics in Montague PEI. I gave them all the information I had about my grandmother. I stated I was looking for her parents names. That information has alluded us. Gave them her husbands name and other pertinent information. What I received was a huge disappointment. On the certificate it stated that the information was an \"Extract\" of the original document. I was quite surprised. As I have received a number of death certificates in the States and they include the deceased parents.
So my question is what I received the standard response to a request for a death certificate? On their website it does not give any indication that the information is an \"Extract\" . Is there another agency that I might contact to get the full information I am looking for? Would the church where she is buried have the detailed information.
Thanking any/all in advance that respond to this query.

KENDALL - Cascumpec & Brackley
I am trying to trace two Kendall families on the island and am wondering if they are connected in any way.

#1: children are found in the baptism registry, can't find the family in census records.

William Kendall m. Ann Roper - resided Lot 33, Brackley Pt.
children: Margaret b.1833, Matilda b.1843, John b.1836, Hannah b.1839, Clara b.1845, William b.1848

#2: family if found living in Cascumpec on 2 census.

Thomas Kendall b.1833 m Jane ? b.1833
children: Francis b.1869, Seymour adopted child b. 1880
of note is that an elder James Kendall b. 1804 is living with the family in 1881.

I suspect the second family is directly connected to Sarah Kendall married to Thomas Key on Lot 11 , but both may be as the name is unusual on the island.

Hope that this rings a bell with ANYONE out there. Thanks !

One U.S. census says he was born in MA and one says Canada and that is father was born Prince Edward Island. Catherine was born in Ireland and came to Prince Edward Island in 1886. She belonged to St. Mary's Parish in Souris. She is on the 1890 parish census and the 1891 census for the Province of Prince Edward Island. I have checked the microfilm records for Souris parish and did not find a marriage. MA has some on-line marriage records and I did not find them there. I believe they are in Cambridge, MA at the time of the 1900 U.S. census. They had two daughters Marie Agnes born 10 Oct 1894 and Josephine born Oct 1897. They moved to California and lived in Los Angeles Co. at the time of 1910 and 1920 census. George must die sometime between 1920-1930 as Catherine is a widow on the 1930 U.S. census. She died in Los Angeles County 21 Sept 1941.

but doing some research I have found a Charles Gallant born around that time in Rustico Pei to a Joseph Gallant and Dorothee Downing
