Surname Inquiries

Would like to confirm parents of my great-grandfather. He was supposedly born in Huntsville, Ontario on November 22, 1860.

Hello, I am hoping to find a birth record for Constance Nordvesta Knutsen Saeter, born 19 September 1873 in the Parry Sound District to Norwegian parents Martin Knutsen Saeter and Karoline Nicolaisdatter Hessen. I know that Martin was part of the community that founded St. Olaf's Church in Monteith Township, and that they occupied lots 7-8 in concession X and lot 7 in concession IX. From what I can tell, Constance's mother Karoline died in childbirth in 1879, and after that time Martin and the children moved to the US, where they appear on the 1880 US Census in North Dakota. I haven't found any indexed birth records with Constance's name yet on Ancestry or FamilySearch.org, so I have started trying to go through the thousands of record images one by one with no luck so far. I am hoping someone can help me figure out how to narrow down my search to find Parry Sound birth records from 1873. Thank you!

Irving J (James?) Sturley was my grandfather, I am interested in my family history on the Sturley side. He grew up going to Katrine, to his 'Uncle Charie's' house, who I believe was his mother's brother, and who's last name was Metcalfe. So I am also interested in knowing the family history going back on my great-grandmother Metcalfe's side.

Looking for marriage of Phyllis Elizabeth Tonge to ? Ralph Simpson . About 1932 to 1936.

I am interested in information pertaining to my great-great grandmother Lucy Helena Monroe Simmons Burton. Born in 1864 (Bulite? transcribed incorrectly, I believe, perhaps Beloit, but no records found) Wisconsin, USA but lived and married in this area of Ontario. Her husband was named William Burton, they were married on December 23, 1885 in Muskoka with ties to Gravenhurst (marriage witness documents). She died at age 30 in June, 1894 in Parry Sound District, however, I am unable to locate any other life or burial information. I am also interested in learning about her father John Monroe Simmons and how he came to the USA from Ontario, and with his wife, Emily Misselbrook Simmons, had my great, great grandmother in Wisconsin. I can find no record of them afterward, but Lucy Helena (Elena or Nellie sometimes) returned to the Muskoka, Stephenson, Brunel area and lived out her life. My great-grandmother was born there and located to Toledo, Ohio where she worked as a milliner and where my family was raised. Perhaps John was a sympathizer in the Civil War and was killed? I don't know, but Lucy was known to be living with her mother and step father at age 17 according to a census document. I have extensive history otherwise, however, these missing pieces have plagued my research for several years. I just ran across this group and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

My family was in the area based on census and birth records between 1870-1890’s working in the logging industry (sawmill & logging camp). Moved to Alberta in mid 1890’s
