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.

I am looking for Henry Andrews, or any of his descendants. I know very little about this man, except that I believe he was born to my great grandfather and his first wife. My great grandfather is William George Andrews, b. abt 1884 in England. In his obituary in April 1963, the Stouffville newspaper stated he was survived by a son, Henry Andrews of Bracebridge.

Edna Mary Austin, b. 11 Mar 1902 in Parry Sound District (near Novar probably), d. 1 Jul 1903 in Parry Sound District (near Novar probably), parents Alexander Potter Austin 1859-1945 & Eliza Jeanette Buck 1869-1934. Buried St. Andrew's United Cemetery, Novar, Perry Township. Parry Sound District, Ontario, Canada. Looking for verification of birth/death information as just hearsay from G Granddaughter of Alex & Jeanette Austin given to her in a written family tree by her father Beverly Whaley Austin 1936-2007. One would think that by 1902/1903 there would be birth/death documentation, given law passed in 1869. I checked Huntsville Forester newspaper and no luck finding any mention of this.
