Margrett,
I could'nt get the link :
http://members.show.ca/metruce/kcc/cumirlac.htm
to work-am I doing something incorrectly? Using Netscape, but don't believe
that has any bearing on the link.
Recieving and error msg. "members.show could not be found. Please check the
link and try again."
Thanks,
Deb

Subject: [CAIRNS] Finding ancestors
Hi Judy:
I can certainly relate to your dilemma At present I'm searching for an
Ancestor that I do not know his first name. and when you're in an area where
there are scores of them trying to figure out which it is can be a problem
(before the census was even done.
I am by far no expert on Genealogy, I use a lot of Logic and Gut
feeling, which a genealogist would laugh at, but then I've found a lot of my
people
just that way.
Church records will have a lot of information. I have found my people
in Church records where they didn't show up anywhere else. I don't have any
experience with the Catholic record keeping, but do know they keep good
records on Marriages, births and deaths. Could these people have died by
1890. Do you have names of their children and possible marriages
perhaps they moved in with a son-in-law or moved with them Trace a name if
you have one.
Was the man of the house employed, could he have travel in pursuit of his
profession. (like 90% farming <G>)
I am sorry Judy, I can not be of more help:
This site belongs to a Cairns (perhaps someone on the list0
But has lots of info:

Another trick I use is to use Google search.
I put in the persons name, sometime the location, some time the date,
I mix it up < like CAIRNS Canada 1950 > and see what pops up. you'd be
surprised what you can find
Good Luck to you.....Good luck to us all
