Surname Inquiries
Surname inquiries will be posted in alphabetical order based on the first surname in the inquiry. Eventually, this page may have to be split into several pages as the list gets longer. If you want to post an inquiry that is not pertaining to surnames, visit the General Inquiry Page.
As documented within our privacy policy, if comments are made in response to an inquiry made by you where the commenter requests direct communication, we will not release your contact information, but will forward his allowing you to decide whether to continue the conversation. With that said, we would ask that if you receive information that might further someone else's genealogy research, please update your inquiry with a new comment containing that information.

Read More...Looking at the Strong township map. Noticed two land parcels labelled Lamb. I have 1901 Census reports showing my great grandfather Conelius Lamb & Clara Tripp living in Muskoka Parry sound. Just wondering if they know which Lamb was occupying that land at that given time. G-G grandfather Edward Lamb was in Downie township

Read More...I am in search of James Christoe. He and his wife Grace and son Henry traveled from Grass Valley, Nevada City, California to the Muskoka area sometime between 1877 and 1879. A daughter Ada was born in Huntsville in 1879. All four are listed in the 1881 Census of Canada - in Sinclair & Franklin Townships. Some time after 1881, Grace and children relocated back to Grass Valley - with no trace of James. Perhaps he died in the Muskoka area? Any help or assistance is greatly appreciated!! Thank you.

Read More...Looking for information on Grove Park Lodge. My father in law(Marvin Byron Murchison) lived there with his parents until age 8 (1938). His father Frank Murchison I believe ran the resort and was the postmaster there. We have some original signs from the cottages. Any information about the history of the resort would be appreciated. Thank you!
