Acknowledgements

This profile and those of my siblings and parents were created by M.Nason with information taken from the Doug Eagles book listed in the sources. Thanks Mark for the hard work you put into this.

When browsing what I have added to this site (over 500 profiles so far) you may see comments such as "Unsourced family tree handed down to Stuart Ward." In fact, that is just an easy way out of not listing all my sources. In the 80s and 90s I created much of my database using myriad of resources but in large part from sharing resources with people like Robert Nelson Ward and his father the late Hap Ward, Doug Ayer and the late historian, Jim Snowdon. I don't always credit them in my pages but please know that their help was extensive and appreciated. Without their help, this would have been much harder. I also want to thank my brother Jeff Ward who often adds flesh to the bone through his own research and also acts as my memory when mine gives out. He also provided most of the pictures that I've put up.

Stu,

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have no yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project?

If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Looking forward to hearing from you,

Mary, Project Coordinator, Military and War Project

Hi Stu

What is your connection to Cicely Gertrude (Dallaway) Pring, she is my grandfather’s sister. I have been dabbling in my ancestry over the years and just started with Wikki tree. Thanks Steven Dallaway

posted by S Dallaway
Steven, Dexter Pring was my wife’s uncle. https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Pring-288

That makes Cicely a 7th circle connection of mine. Most of what I know of her family came from familysearch: https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/GVNL-KL1

Please feel free to improve any of my profiles if you have better information.

posted by Stu Ward
Hi, Stu, I see you've added a category called Sainte-Anne, Amherst, Nova Scotia to a few Acadian profiles. From the Acadian Project perspective, this category seems incorrect for several reasons: Amherst Nova Scotia is after the Acadian period (town starts in 1867), we have no documentation of the cemetery itself other than knowing churches would have had one, there is no documentation or time frame given for use of this category which is important due to it's name, and finally, the name of the town is a sufficient location category. The British destroyed all the Acadian cemeteries during the Deportation years. Also the profiles on Find A Grave often give a cemetery that can't be documented (another is the Garrison Graveyard). There are no cemetery markers or grave markers available for proof of these cemeteries, though older people in those areas have alluded to them.

The parish records will say buried in "this parish cemetery", and the town name has been used as sufficient documentation of that. If you wish to have these categories, we would greatly appreciate having them documented, properly named, dated and categorized. Could you please contact me or any leader of the Acadian project if you wish to pursue this. it wouldn't matter so much except that the categories show up on the profile view, and can be misleading if not named or applied correctly. If you have a specific research purpose in mind, we would want to accommodate that as best as possible within the Acadians project scope.

Thank you for your attention to this. Best wishes, Cindy Bourque Cooper, co-leader, Acadians Project

Hi Stu,

It is once again time for our annual Scotland Project check-in. Please respond within the next three weeks to let us know:

•If you would like to continue as a project member •If you are happy with your current teams or would you like to join a different team •How much time per month (on average) you spend working on Scottish profiles •Anything you’d like the Scotland Project to do more of in the future

You can respond to this message by posting a reply below or sending me a private message on WikiTree. If we don’t hear from you within the next three weeks we’ll assume your interests have changed or you are no longer able to participate in the Scotland Project at this time, and your badge will be removed. If your circumstances change later you will be welcome to reapply for membership.

On behalf of the Scotland Project, I would like to thank you for your commitment to the project's goals. Every single contribution you make helps improve Scottish profiles!

Sheena - Scotland Project Membership Coordinator

Sheena,

I have hardly spent any time on Scotland this year. That doesn’t mean I won’t in the future. I would like to stay part of the project as is. If anyone has need of anything, particularly as it pertains to the diaspora in the Canadian Maritime provinces, I’ll do my best.

posted by Stu Ward
Thanks Stu. We do appreciate any help you can give us - connecting the diaspora back to specific individuals back in Scotland is one of the most difficult jobs we do
It's time for the One Place Studies Project Check-In!

We've put together a survey for you to fill out to check in with you, it will only take a moment as there are only a few questions. Filling out the survey lets us know you are still interested in coordinating your study and provides an opportunity for you to share any suggestions you may have for the project.

If you have decided to step away from your study, please reply to this comment to that effect.

Stu, please know that your original concept of Abigail Martin Estabrooks was a totally understandable hiccup. I have had the same kind of hiccup quite a few times. The naming patterns of those early days need a road map to keep them straight. Now there is so much info out there posted on various sites by people who simply copy what they see, repost it and go merrily in their way. It's become ever more crucial to get sources and double check others that you come across. Happy Hunting!! Bette

Stu,

Just an FYI about the two wives of Dennis O'Regan... On a lark, I contacted Jacqueline Steeves, a descendant of Daniel O'Regan and Mary Curran Steeves. She had this to say, "According to Ancestry [redacted], Daniel’s parents are Dennis Patrick O’Regan and Catherine Walsh, both of County Cork." And while I don't have many sources for Catherine Callahan, I did find a parish record for "Dens O'Regan and Cath Callahan" that matches the dates here on WT. Once more down the rabbit hole, and they're not eve on my direct line where I have a whole lot more issues to resolve.

Happy Holidays!

Stu,

Now I’ve found you actually improved TWO profiles I manage, I’ve got to know what I missed/did wrong or didn’t get around to yet. It’s a learning opportunity for me. On a related note, one profile you improved has another issue. Dennis O’Regan (O_Regan-216) has two wives. Other than wedding date and LNAB they are virtually identical. Oh, one has a child born many years after the second wedding date (they’re 2 years apart). I’ve tried most of the usual suspects trying to get a clue. Do you have time to offer some tips for me to investigate? Unfortunately, the events are early 19th century in New Brunswick or perhaps Couny Cork. Thanks, again for past and possible future help! /s/jr

posted by Jerry Regan
Jerry,

I did 2 things to that profile, I added the category for the cemetery based on the Find A Grave link you had there already. Then I applied an Auto-Bio to replace the machine generated stub you had there already. I didn’t make any judgements or any material improvements. I used 2 tools, one was a cemetery listing through the Data Doctors project, they other was a Wikitools app. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/wikitree-browser-extensio/ncjafpiokcjepnnlmgdaphkkjehapbln

I’ve been going through many profiles that way. I’m just doing south east NB at the moment.

I noticed the 2 wives. I have no idea how you would reconcile that. Based on the dates, it was more likely to be in Ireland. There were some Irish in NB at that time but 90% of the Irish came later than that. The largest migration came about 1820 to 1850. None of your sources actually quote a marriage record. However, I suspect that Walsh is completely bogus and should be removed.

Stu

posted by Stu Ward
Stu,

Thanks again! Unfortunately, anything with “Chrome “ in it doesn’t work for me. I’m on Safari. As to the two wives. I have a family bible (part of “Family History “) entry as source for Walsh, even though it’s a brick wall. There’s nothing for Callahan and I’m sure you will agree there were a number of O’Regans in New Brunswick. I haven’t found anything but the name to connect Catherine Callahan to Dennis O’Regan. That’s where I hoped you could help - point me at a Canadian resource that would show what happened to either Catherine after Dennis died. The Catherine Callahan profile manager told me in a message on her profile that he didn’t know how to load his sources. I could load my family history but at roughly 500 pages…… Thanks for the help. I’ve categorized many of the profiles I manage, but clearly not all. /s/jr

Thank you for suggesting the merge for Mary MacDonald-Mary Cameron. I have the Glenalladale Settlers book myself and I am not sure where the name "Cameron" came from, attached to her. It is obvious her maiden name was MacDonald. The only thing I can think of is that her mother, who was also named Mary MacDonald, was a Cameron on her mother's side (her mother was Margaret Cameron).
posted by Jessica McEachern
There is an earlier profile for this person too. Ideally, both of these would have been merged into that one but it's not a big deal. A festival commemorating the 250th anniversary ot the arrival of this group starts tomorrow so I'm trying to clean up the profiles a little. I just got a copy of the book this weekend so it's not going to happen as fast as I would like.

Thanks for your quick attention.

You're welcome. I was hoping to attend the 250th Anniversary festival, but I live on Long Island, New York, and both work commitments and the distance have made it a no-go (I last visited PEI in 1988 and have been looking for an excuse to return, so hopefully one of these days). I really appreciate all the work you're doing on this.

  • If you have not yet signed up to help on one of the project's teams, which team(s) would you be interested in joining?
  • How often should we provide a Project Newsletter?
  • Have you participated in the Tartan Trail? If not, is this something you'd be interested in doing?
  • Do you have a question(s) that we could add to a Frequently Asked Questions page?
  • Any suggestions or ideas you have on ways to improve the Scotland Project in general

We continue to communicate with our Project members via Google Group (official) and Discord (unofficial), as well as G2G. You may also reach out to any of the Project leaders via WikiTree's internal messaging system at any time.

Greetings Stu,

I have been working with the Data Doctor's project. I noticed that you are the profile manager for Moses Delesdernier Delesdernier-38.

One of his sons, Albert Delesdernier Delesdernier-74 and family had very incomplete records. Three of his children did not have a gender assigned. I did the research on these profiles and populated the family with sources and made updates to the records. This is where I could use your help. Could you adopt these family members, they are orphaned?

The reason they need adopting is the Name at Birth needs to be changed for Albert, wife and the rest of their family. The profile manager is the only one that can change that information and thought it would be a good fit since you are already managing Moses. The name Deles Dernier was taken directly off of the children's birth records (viewing the actual documents - not as indexed). All the family members need to be updated for Albert, wife and children.

In updating these records, I had to change all of the children's names, added dates, and places or locations of birth/death, etc. I created a Research Notes section for each record to comment on any name changes. Please change any of these records as you like.

Other notes: When the children get married, it seems like the family changes their names to Dernier (dropping Deles - even the parents). Another fun fact, a European ancestor's last name was De Les Dernier (which make more sense to me).

One final thought, I reviewed your profile before sending this message. Now, that is an impressive profile. You give me inspiration to improve the records of my family!

Thank you for all you do at WIkiTree! Jay Klock [Klock-93]

posted by Jay Klock
Jay, The reason I started these profiles and then orphaned some of them is so that people with close relations might become interested in them. Some cousins of mine were related to this family but there are no close relatives anymore. These were included in a descendant tree import from a regional database populated mostly from census data built by Doug Ayer. I can tell that because of the shorthand he uses in his sources. As you noted, there are numerous spellings for this family. I've seen people switch back and forth. If you want me to help out, I'm more than willing but what you're asking of me, you could do yourself.

Hi Stu! You added and connected a bunch of Loggie profiles recently, thanks for that. You only cite the FamilySearch family tree profiles. As a secondary source, this isn't a good reference. Could you please directly cite the actual birth, death and marriage (etc) records?

Also, there is no need to "sign" edits on a biography. Your contributions appear in the change logs of the profile, and are amply appreciated.

Thank you, as I have no problem joining hazen and manford’s different spellings
As long as both spellings are inserted, I will agree
I changed the spelling to match yours and wrote an explanation. Also, Hazen/Hagen/Hazon and Manford/Manfred need merging. You can use whatever spelling you want.
posted by Stu Ward
My mother (Margaret Olevia Estabrooks) was named after Olevia Ward. She was her great grandmother. Her name has a very unique spelling. Until I can find more info I would prefer not to merge, unless you can convince me otherwise.

Audrey Pelletier

It's the same person. You can include both spellings but that doesn't make it 2 people. Just like Manfred and Manford is the same person. If you can show me a census where 2 different people exist at the same time, I'll conceed.

Hi Stu

On the Calhoun family, I am afraid I dont have much. There is the proposal around their Irish origins on various trees but not sure how proven.

They appear to be the lone Irish on my father's mother's side but may end up confused into DNA matches with my father's father's side.

I may have mass adopted these profiles - so you would recommend that I merge them?

My matches and interrelationships in Nova Scotia where I now live centre around Newcombe, Fitch, Rand, Bishop, Eaton, Cogswell, Woodworth and Whipple

Hi Stu,

We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.

We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.

Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please don’t assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.

Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
