This blog will reflect the progress of my genealogy project(s). I will describe any major changes that I make on my website www.fayewest.ca and I will document how I solved some brick walls.

Good Grief!!

I just noticed that all the changes I've made to the Doyle line (and talked about on this blog) since December were never uploaded to the website.  They are there now.

BMDs and Tombstones

I spent a lot of time with my Troy Cemetery photos and the Hamilton Branch OGS transcription of Troy Cemetery today.  The result is a whole lot of additional birth and death dates and a number of new tombstone photos.  About 40 people have new information - that's too many names to list here.  You'll find them all in the Recent Updates list on the Loyalist line.

I also found that Hamilton Branch has funeral records for a number of people in the Loyalist line - those may provide new information when I get them.

New marriage records

I found another treasure on the Collections Canada website: Upper and Lower Canada Marriage Bonds 1803-1865 I've added the bond for Andrew Jones and Mary Bawtenheimer to the Loyalist line.
