Was passing through and noted a posting from 2005 with regard to Frank Mcgrah I am related to the McGraws from Sucker Creek First Nation near Little Current, Ontario.
I tried to send a response to help but my message was undeliverable.
My grandmother was a McGraw and was one of ten children to Tom and Maggie (nee Abotossaway) McGraw of what is now known as Aundeck Omni Kaning ( Sucker Creek First Nation).
I have one uncle, Ernest aka Smitty McGraw who still lives on the reserve.
If these individuals are still checking on this website, hope this information is helpful.

I was wondering if anyone had information on the family that lived in the abandoned house on Lucars Lane in Rockville. I've heard that it is spelled Looker(I've seen the grave in Cold Springs) My father showed me the house, and I have visited it since the late 1980's. Also, I wonder if anyone would have a picture of the house when it was still lived in or in good condition. Sadly, the last few years have seen the house totally fall into a wreck.
Name: CAROL ANN WILSON WESTBROOK <carolann@rogers.com> Date: 2007-11-20 Visiting this site from: BRANTFORD, Ontario Surnames searching for: MERRICK, BURRITT Comments:
My great-grandparents came to Gore Bay on Manitoulin Island in the 1870's. Hiram Merrick and Lucretia Burritt were from Merrickwille and Burritts Rapids. He was born in 1829 to Stephen Merrick and Margaret Brown and she was the daughter of Martha Adams and Clement Burritt, both UEL families.
After Stephen Merrick died in 1830, Margaret married James Dunn, and three other children.
Hiram and Lucretia were married in Burritt's Rapids on April 23, 1853 and moved to Grey County. They had 12 children: Ichobad Benedict ( later changed his name to George), Truman Burritt, died as a very small child, Clement Burritt ( also later changed his name to George), Martha Lucretia, married Francis Sides, Thomas Hiram, married Laura McDonald, Hiram, never married, William, married Mary Ann mcCannell. Jeannet married Gilbert MacAlpine, Caroline, married Fred Sheppard, Margaret Ann ( Anna), married Fred Holborn, Ruth Ella, married Thomas Wilson, and Lois Jean, married William Pennell and James Jackson.
Hiram and Lucretia left Gore Bay before the 1891 census and went near Gaylord, Michagan with daughter, Lois and sons, Thomas and Hiram. By the 1901 census, they were living in Stony Plain, Alberta, and Lois, Martha, Hiram, Thomas and Anna were all there as well. I believe Ichobad, now George, was also there. William stayed in Gore Bay, Clement, now also George, lived in Deep River, Jeanett lived in Gore Bay, Thessalon and Blind River, and Ruth was married in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, and moved to Wiarton, Barrow Bay, Markdale and finally to Brantford.
I have never been able to find out where and when Lucretia and Hiram died...my last missing link.

After scrolling down the page of comments a name is brought to mind of someone we know nothing about. Only that she married someone in my dads family. We have always known her as Peck but could be Beck. She is supposed to be native as well, would love to know more about her. Dads family goes from Alexander born in Scottland to Percy. She might be a family myth, would love to find out one way or the other. So far I have had no luck at all with this. Any info would be appreciated.

I have been doing our family tree and knew my mother's parents lived on Manitoulin Island before she was born in 1922. The stories she told have made we want to see Manitoulin Island for myself. I hope to drive up this year and visit some of the places my 'Nana' would have gone when she lived there in the late 1800's & early 1900s. Thank you for your record-keeping, it has made my research a lot easier.

Hi there. Whoever put this site together I'd like to say a huge thank you. It has allowed me to fill in a blank page in family tree. I am wondering however if anyone out there has any additional information on William Reid (born 1864) or Julia Baxter (born 1858). Specifically I am looking for the names of their parents and where they might have been born (or died).
I am a great grand-daughter of them, through their son David Stanley Reid and his wife Margaret Kerr. If anyone wishes more information on Stanleys line, please feel free to contact and I will fill in as many blanks as I can. They had 5 children, all of whom have now passed on except my father (the youngest of their children). I can at the very least name the 5 children, and some of their grand-children.
Thanks again,

My father, Allison Turnbull, was born at Tekummah in 1908. He moved out to Saskatchewan with his oldest sister and her husband (Hugh and Ina Little) when he was 9 years old. The Little family returned to the Manitoulin about eight years later but Allison stayed in Saskatchewan where he farmed, married and raised three daughters. Distance and $$$ limited our opportunity to get to know our relatives from "down East", as my dad called it.
I am in search of any information on family members, dates, and events involving "Turnbull's" and "Little's". Thank you any correspondence, stories, obituaries, etc.

A general inquiry. I sailed into Smith Bay and expected to find a Gov't warf where I thought I might be able to tie up for the night, if not then anchor in the lee of a prevailing south wind for the night. What I found was a harbour Marina that was, until recently, very well equipped. There is a grand building along with all ammenity facilities one might expect to find in a modern marina facility. The surprise came when it was obvious that the facility had been abandoned, the supplies of fuel, etc. depleted and the dock 'fingers' sold. My querie is, what happened to this marina? The local children report that the hydro has been cut off and everyone is on welfare assistance. Yet there is much local motoring traffic moving about in obviously newer well kept vehicles? The whole situation gave me the 'creeps' as I would have been more than happy to tie up to the warf as was shown on a recently purchased chart of the area. Just a thought that has stayed with me since and happened to find this opportunity to 'put it out there'.

Hi! I have recently subscribed to the Rootsweb Manitoulin mailing list. When checking out the Mangenealogy through a search engine, I see that it is suspended.
My ggrandparents were Mutchmor's, and my gggrandparents were McKechnie's. My great grandfather, John Mutchmore, lived the latter part of his life with his daughter, my grandmother, in New Westminster, BC, and is buried there. I am originally from New Westminster. His wife, Christine McKechnie, is also buried there, as is her sister, Annie McKechnie. But Grandma always talked about Gore Bay, Providence Bay and the Island as where she grew up. I am just starting on this branch of the family tree.
It sounds like a lively mailing list. I hope to have something to contribute before too much longer.

Name: Judy Adams <jadams@yknet.yk.ca> Date: 2002-01-20 Visiting this site from: Whitehorse, Yukon Surnames searching for: CORBIERE CARTY Comments:
I too am researching the Corbiere family tree on Manitoulin Island. As far as I know, there are two other ladies researching this line, Sandy Bayer and Jeanne Ross. Sandy descends from George Corbiere (DOB: Approx. 1898) and Jeanne descends from Henry Corbiere (DOB: August 27, 1877). My husband descends from their sister, Elisabeth Corbiere (DOB: May 6, 1884). The following is a list of their brothers and sisters, as well as their parents and great-grandparents. We would all very much like to get in touch with anyone else who may be researching the same Corbiere family.
Our ancestors Elisabeth, George, and Henry, all descend from the Louis Corbiere & Esther Fournie family line. Louis and Esther were my husband's great-grandparents. I have been researching this family line for about 10 years now and have been able to locate the following information on the children of Louis Corbiere and Esther Fournier. Their daughter, Elisabeth Corbiere, married Henry Carty. These are my husband's grandparents.) I am also including the generation before Louis Corbiere and Esther Fournier as this lists their parents, Henri Corbiere & Marie Roy.

These are some additional names I have come across in baptismal certificates, however, the names of the parents differ slightly, i.e. mother's first name varies as follows: Marie, Marianne, Mary Ann....and the last name on some is Leroy instead of Roy. More research will have to be done in case this is just an error on the part of the original writer.

We all look forward to hearing from anyone else who may be researching any of the above or their descendants. I do have some additional generations, but have not included them as some are still living.
I look forward to hearing from anyone with any family connections at all. Our family knows nothing about the Corbiere families on Manitoulin Island. My mother-in-law was born in Gore Bay in 1920 and their family moved from the Island in approx. 1922 when she was 2 years old. Something drastic happened that made it necessary for their mother, Elisabeth, to move the family to Meaford, Ontario. Her children married and my husband's parents moved to the Yukon in the mid 1950s...and here we are. I would dearly love to hear from more people who are researching the Corbiere family as it is extremely tough trying to track down information from here.
Bye for now.

Hello I am looking for further information on my great uncle Adolphus F. Wood, b.1850 in Hamilton Township, Northumberland County ON., married Ester Jane Hillis at Perrytown, Hope Township ON. on July 24, 1883, d. Howland, Manitoulin Island March 2, 1907. I know that they moved to and farmed at Rockville, Manitoulin But his residence on the marriage record is Manitoulin Is. So, he must have moved to Manitoulin, then returned to Hope Township to get married and then returned to Manitoulin. I would like to know when he arrived at Manitoulin. Any help or tip would be much appreciated. Ralph Wood Douro ON.

Great site! Has been very helpful.

These photos were taken around the Island and a couple appear to be a July 12th parade. Anybody wishing to see them should e-mail me and I would be glad to send jpeg copies of them. Maybe someone can help us identify the people in them. Again, great site!

Thanks to someone nice enough to refer me to your lovely web page, I have located my gt grandparents, George Herbert McDougall. He was killed in the CPR train wreck 1910 at age 24. I found a corner of a photograph in my gt grandmother's bible with enough info on it to lead me -with the help of others- to locate their burial place. I recall when my grandad went up from Windsor, Ontario to Sudbury when his mother Janet McDougall died. I want to find her maiden name. Anyone have any ideas. Thanks for this information...now I'll have to visit Providence Bay. Which reminds me, in the bible there is also a bookmark, leather, from Providence Bay... Marilyn

I would like to thank everyone who contributed to this site. I was able to copy & paste information on the Stringer's for my files. The Stringer's on the Island might be related and I have to do some further checking. Two Stringer brothers, Aaron & Robert, came to Canada and settled in Crowland Township, crossing at Fort Erie, from Pennsylvania in 1786. They were of German origin, although the Ontario 1871 Census shows Stringer's as of English origin as well. Aaron Stringers family settled in Pelham Township, while some of Roberts went to Norfolk Township, and then into Michigan. It's possible some of them ended up on the Island. If anyone can add any information, it would certainly be appreciated. Again, thanks, and I will be reviewing this site again. John Milton Douglas Stringer
