Pam,
This is the first I have heard anything from this list. My family is from
most recently Indiana, and before that Kentucky, and other places before
that! I have done alot of research on my own, and recently met (online) a
man named L. Kennedy, who verified what I thought to be true, my CANADA
family were actually Kennedys and the name was spelled several different
ways by one family, and it stuck! since I had the marriages of these
Canadas, and he had the exact same marriages to the same people, same dates
under Kennedy, and I found a marriage book of Wayne County KY which lists
its records under both names, we wee able to solve the mystery and go
backwards in time. I believe the name is Scot-Irish, as most of the
Kennedy./ Canada folks in our lines are protestant and not Catholic as would
normally be assumed with a name like Kennedy. I could go on forever, but
that is it in a nutshell. Pam Jansen

All has been quiet, so I thought I would
try to get some activity going.
First my questions:
Is the surname CANADA, a variant of another
surname? What regions are you searching?
I am researching Kennedy in WV
and find my ancestor listed as Canada, Canady
and Keneda.
Now for the list count:
On Nov 16. 1999, our list was at
12 mail mode subscribers and 9 digest subscribers.
We are now at
14 subscribers to CANADA-L and 9 subscribers to CANADA-D,
so we have grown just a little.
We do have more than two new members. We have had
a few unsub, but we have had more to sub. So you do
not know which of these new subscribers is your 'cousin'!
Be sure to also use the Genconnect Boards. You can find
