Hi Sylvia,
Thanks for trying. There does seem to be a problem with the site. Maybe it iis not kept up any more! I put my surname in and just a couple of entries come up. They seem to be old entries, as if the site isn't updated or used much.
As you can see from the thread, the descendants of the person I'm looking for emigrated to Brantford. Where would I look for information on that side - emigration records, etc? Maybe that won't be of much use though, as the person is too far back for his details to be required.
Any other suggestions?
Thanks again,
Mike.

I see from an article in Wikipedia, that Thmas C emigrated to Canada in 1837 ........... I do not beleive that there are many records of emigration/passenger lists that early.

My brother, photo taken in September 1991 just a couple of weeks before he died. ............................................................ To help us and to get better results, please post as much detail as you can, especially name, date(s) and place. Also say what you already know.

Ok. Thanks for that. I have joined the Ontario Genealogical Society in order to try to get some information on James b1764 and on other family members in Canada, so I hope to have some success there.
Thanks again.
