That doesn't mean I haven't been working on my genealogy, but in fact, I haven't been working very much. I've done no new research, but I have been trying to catch up on reviewing and entering data from the many documents and photos that have collected in my "to be done" folder over the past couple of years. I've done about 20% of them I think, but there are lots to do yet.<br />
<br />
Unlike me, my (distant) cousin, Robert Coleman, has been hard at work and has sent me a new dataset for the <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/colemanjones" target="_blank">Coleman/Jones</a> subsite. The number of people has increased from about 1200 to 5900! Many new related family lines have been included. There is also much more Source information than there was in the old subsite. If your family lines go back to early Ontario settlements, you might find them here.

I was recently contacted by John Linn, a distant cousin of Andrew. John has been looking for any descendants of Andrew or his brothers in British Columbia. I wasn't able to help him with that, but he kindly provided me with details of Andrew's parents as well as his siblings and some of their descendants. I have added some of that information to the site.

That led me on a search for other information about her and of course led me to other information about her family, including her husband <a href="http://fayewest.ca/doyle/p4805.htm">George Martinuk</a>. <br />
<br />
John then sent me lovely photos of Eileen's parents, <a href="http://fayewest.ca/doyle/p2018.htm">John K Jordan</a> and <a href="http://fayewest.ca/doyle/p2898.htm">Anne Cecilia Doyle</a>. Thanks John!<br />

I spent some time searching for more information about Anne Doyle, but haven't managed to come up with anything.

Wow - time flies! There have been a number of "little" updates since then and a few significant ones:<br />
<ul>
<li>My first cousin, 3 times removed, <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/doyle/p2072.htm">Elizabeth Jordan</a> married <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/doyle/p4606.htm">John Joseph Tobin</a> in 1886. Their family has been added.</li>
<li>On 24 November 2014, my father's cousin, <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/doyle/p507.htm">Robert Gordon Doyle</a>, passed away. I have updated his page with details of his life and death.</li>
<li>My nephew, <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/doyle/p514.htm">Ian Wesley Doyle</a> married <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/doyle/p5108.htm">Leah Nichole Hutchinson</a> in August.</li>

She was <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/broder/p475.htm">Kathreen Alice Collier</a>, and like his later wives, she only lasted for a few years before they were divorced. (Either Percy was very unlucky in his choices or he was impossible to live with. I know where I'd put my bet!) <br />

I never bothered to re-build the site because each set of changes seemed inconsequential at the time. Suddenly I discovered that the number of changes has really added up and the site hasn't been updated for a year! So, the changes are now published - but I can't tell you in any detail what they are, because I don't remember! They are all listed in the <a href="http://www.fayewest.ca/broder/ui08.htm">Recent Updates</a> though.

I have updated<a href="http://fayewest.ca/doyle/p1046.htm"> his page</a> with the information.

Jim lived his entire life in Ontario while Charles lived in British Columbia; they were probably unaware of each other's existence.

I found about 200 parish register entries on familysearch.org and those led me to search for other records on familysearch and on ancestry. The result was a huge amount of new information to be added to my database and published.<br />
<br />
I finally decided that I couldn't wait until all the information was processed before re-publishing the site. So as of last night, about 160 people have been updated or added. Please check the <a href="http://fayewest.ca/doyle/ui08.htm">Recent Updates</a> page to see all the changes since the last time I published (September 2012 I think).Fayehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12700628787946311422noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3017674683897923373.post-60486615272931654562012-11-04T23:51:00.000-07:002012-11-04T23:51:32.681-07:00Cousins' familiesI've added and updated a number of records for a couple of my cousins' families.
