Re: RODERICK McKENZIE (1772-1859)

Your famous ANDERSON ancestors certainly left us all with a rich legacy of historical information. I am particularly interested in the Arctic Expeditions involving your great-great grandfather, James ANDERSON (1812-1867). There were numerous personalities from Red River who were involved in these ex...

Re: Mary O'CONNOR aka MEENISH & John THOMAS JR (1784-1816)

The wife of John THOMAS SR (1751-1822) was Margaret, a Cree woman born around 1766. I was told she was probably born at Moose Factory, and that she was the granddaughter of a Cree chief. She died on Dec 31, 1813 at Moose Factory. Fur traders often married daughters of what they called "Home Gua...

Re: Mapleton History

Welcome to the Forum!

I have information for several James FOLSTERs in my files. I have a sister-in-law with FOLSTER ancestors.

If you could provide me with a little more specific information about your hubby's parents or grandparents, with some birth dates, etc, I may be able to help you.

Re: ERRORS in Bio of Roderick McKENZIE Sr. and JR.

Ha ha hah! Actually it was your posting that provided me with a kick in the pants to make that correction this morning. I had mistaken YOUR Roddy for OUR Roddy with regards to his posting at Fort Wedderburn. I realized that error some time ago, just needed that prod to do the changes. I have YOUR Ro...

Re: ERRORS in Bio of Roderick McKENZIE Sr. and JR.

Welcome to the Forum Blue!

Where are the errors you are talking about? On this website, or in a Bio somewhere?

I do have information about the Roderick McKENZIE who married Sarah SUTHERLAND, and what I do have seems to agree with your information. However, I don’t think I posted it on this website.

Re: Roderick McKenzie

Thanks Robert The tombstone next to Angelique almost has to be Roderick. They both died in 1859, and it is said they were buried together at Little Britain. I have received pictures before on the Forum. I would certainly love to have those pictures. Give it a try. If that fails, they could be sent v...
