It’s St Patrick's Day!

Why is St Patrick's Day such a time of celebration and remembrance in Canada?

Maybe the following statistics will give you a clue.

From 1825 to 1970, 1.2 million Irish immigrants arrived in Canada, and at least half of those in the period from 1831–1850.

By 1867, the Irish were the second largest ethnic group (after the French), and comprised 24% of Canada's population.

In my neighbourhood of Ottawa-Gatineau, there is the famous McCabe List: Early Irish in the Ottawa Valley.

At http://www.dippam.ac.uk/ied/records/22293 dpf, there is a list of the McCabe Irish which gives county, parish, townland of origin, number of male and female children and names and addresses of relatives in the homeland for some 700 mostly Irish families who were in the vicinity of Bytown (now known as Ottawa) on 5 February 1829.

Help an Alberta woman find her birth mother

Adoption always presents a difficult and often unique problem of its own in genealogy. Many times, it is often difficult to secure the records needed, and it can be especially true when you are looking at different jurisdictions across Canada, or different countries around the world.

Or if you didn’t know that you were adopted, and this is exactly what has happened to Susan Cockle of Alberta who was born on 28 January 1966 at The Moncton Hospital, New Brunswick.

She and her sister found the paperwork which said that she was adopte at birth. She never knew!

She has been trying very hard to find her natural parents, but the New Brunsick government has yet to unseal the adoption records.

So if you could read the newspaper article at http://news.lokalee.com/alberta-woman-seeks-help-in-n-b-to-find-birth-parents/ and remember back to 1965-1966 in Moncton, New Brunswick, and help Susan find her birth mother.

Canadian tourism photos on Flickr

How many photos do you have in your family genealogy of Canadian vacations? Did you know the the Library and Archives Canada has travel photod too, and now are putting some of them on Flickr.

The press release says that -

The concept of Canadian tourism emerged during the early nineteenth century. Improved modes of transportation, such as new railways stretching across the country, facilitated leisure travel and offered people the chance to witness some of the nation’s greatest marvels and modern achievements.

'Photographs were the ideal medium with which to attract potential visitors, and photographers were hired by transportation companies to produce images of majestic scenery that would promote destinations. Later rivaled by amateur picture-takers, eager to create their personal holiday mementos, these photographs were a vital component of the burgeoning tourist industry. The imagery created during this period helped to characterize the country, establishing a sense of national identity by introducing viewers to iconic images of Canadian scenery'.

The website is at https://www.flickr.com/photos/lac-bac/sets/72157650719659971/

And for people who will travel to Ottawa in the coming months, visit the National Gallery of Canada to see the photos exhibit from March 6 to August 30, 2015.

Historic train and train stations in Mississauga, Ontario

Kathy Baker, a member from the Halton-Peel Genealogical Society of the Ontario Genealogical Society sent in a newspaper article about the train stations that were built on the Mississauga line at the turn of the 20th century.

In 1856, the Great Western Railway was completed though Port Credit and Clarkson, connecting Toronto and Hamilton.

The article says ‘The railways were built through historic Mississauga: the Grand Trunk Railway arrived through Malton in 1854, which allowed Malton to develop into a major wheat exporting centre, and the Credit Valley Railway in 1878-81, which was built through Cooksville, Erindale and Streetsville. The last railway, of sorts, to come was the Toronto-Guelph Radial Railway, which operated from1917-1931’.

Dear Myrt’s Beginning Genealogy - Sessions 6 & 7

As I promised my blog on 06 January 2014 at http://genealogycanada.blogspot.com/2015/01/beginning-genealogy-study-group.html, I watched Dear Myrt’s Beginning Genealogy Session 6 and 7 yesterday. I will continue to watch the rest of the study group as it proceeds.

The top two things that were discussed in Sessions 5 and 6 were -

Session 5 - How reliable are the documents we use? How reliable are newspapers documents vs date of birth documents? See how Dear Myrt explains the difference – and there is a difference. She uses the clothes line graphic to describe the documents.
Session 6 - The second session was a case study in conflicting evidence. This was an interesting session. Dear Myrt took the evidence of one of her listeners, and went through the exercise of testing the evidence. If you don’t listen to any session, you should listen to this one. You will see why professional genealogists are so particular about the evidence they are given by the casual genealogist to research.

The website for Session 7 is at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqS2BCu5IQU

Pictures of First World War Valcartier Camp, Quebec on Flickr

The Library and Archives Canada (LAC) has put pictures of the First World War soldiers stationed at Valcartier Camp, Quebec on Flickr. The LAC says that -

‘With a small army of approximately 3,000 soldiers, a small navy, and some militia units, Canada was able to enlist about 35,000 men in a matter of a few months. They were stationed at Valcartier Camp situated northwest of Québec City for initial training and formed into battalions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force, and into a division—the 1st Canadian Division.

Comprising 31,000 men, the Division was sent overseas by convoy for further training at Salisbury Plain in England where it continued training through the winter of 1914, and was finally sent to France in February 1915’.
