Many of the following pages were created from old copies of the Papers and
Records of the Ontario Historical Society. I was able to photocopy, scan and then
edit them to create these pages. All of the original records may or may not
exist, and I have no idea of where they would be located, except for whatever
clues may be contained in these pages.
The spelling of names is pretty much as they were in the original books, but in
scanning and converting to text some errors have crept in. I have tried to be careful,
and proofread them a couple of times, but errors still exist. Be sure to check
every possible spelling of a name if you are searching these listings.
I would suggest you use the FIND function of your browser to search for names, or
save the pages to your machine and use notepad or DOS Edit to search. The
original books containing these records are up to 100 years old, and the old
fashioned spelling of some names is evident. I have no idea how accurately
the original transcriptions were done.
Making copies of these pages for the use of others who don't have access
to them on the Internet is perfectly acceptable to me, and I make no request other
than that this information not be sold or charged for. I've spent a lot of time
and effort to try to make this information available and have no intention of making
money from it. I've added my name and email address to the end of each
page so that others may contact me with any questions or comments.
If you should find errors, even small ones, please advise me at
so that I can make corrections or amendments.
NOTE:- My second site at Rootsweb contains many pages of information on Early Ontario. Take a look at My Site Map to see what is available there.
I've added search engines to use to help find surnames or places that you're looking for.

This list of United Empire Loyalists who settled atLong Point will be of
interest to anyone researching the history of the Loyalists, as many stories are told of the trials and tribulations of these
early settlers. This information was gathered at the end of the last century from descendants of these UEL pioneers, and while
it may be that some stories have been embellished in the retelling, there certainly could be information of interest to all.
There are 41 stories told, some fairly long, others just a paragraph or two. Many names are mentioned, so if you have ancestors
in this area of Ontario in 1793-1811 you might need to check them all to see if the name shows up. (113k)

When I created the page for the Long Point Loyalists, I decided to also add a page for the first part of this
particular book, as it tells a story that is likely applicable to many of the early settlers of Ontario. This page does contain some genealogical information,
but its' primary value is as a description of how life was lived circa 1800. As well, for those who want to find out more about the American Revolution, and how it impacted
thelives of the Loyalists, this page will be an 'interesting' read. (143k)

of two documents from the Scottish Archives, entitled the Breadalbane Muniments. They are entreaties sent to the Marquis of Breadalbane
by some of the Perth County Scots, as well as a detail of the two routes they took to arrive at Perth County. Interesting reading, not just for those
with Scottish ancestry, but for anyone whose ancestors emigrated to Ontario in the early 1800s.
Barton Township is one of the townships settled by Loyalists who came to Ontario after the American Revolution,
and this list of the original patentees gives their names and locations. A good resource for finding some of these early settlers. This list is adapted from Issue #1 - 1958 of Wentworth Bygones.

dissemination of information about this short lived regiment and the living
history organization which portrays this glorious regiment during the
American Rebellion". It is the work of Kim Stacy, and includes a lot of
genealogical information although he is not interested in genealogy himself.
It is a pay site, although from my trial look at the information there, it is
likely worth it if your ancestor served with them. There is a lot of
information on some of the personnel, nothing on others, but there is a lot
of history of the Regiment. A detailed bibliography is included.
Misc. Lists and Petitions - Royalist Regiments. Includes a report from Sir John Johnson that shows the cruelties of the war extended to both sides.

Voyageur and Early French-Canadian Related Pages
TheMigration of Voyageurs from Drummond Island to Penetanguishene in 1828.
This file contains the stories of six of the survivors of the families who migrated at this time. Their stories are a fascinating
look into the lives and times of these people, and includes a lot of information for the genealogist. None is to be considered
a primary source, but for some of the information presented there is not likely to be another source at all. At the end is a list
of many of the voyageurs and their dependants who made this journey. A very good page to read if you are interested in early
Ontario history, even if you have no voyageurs in your ancestry. Main areas of interest are: Penetanguishene; Simcoe Co.;
Sault Ste. Marie; Bruce Mines; Manitoulin Island. If you find this page of help, try checking out the Detroit Genealogy
site and their publications for more on the early residents and voyageurs.
The Penetanguishene Centennial Museum has a new website that includes cemetery transcriptions for the area.
Many research resources are listed as well. Check it out! Link and email address are included on my page about this great resource. Thanks to Pam Tessier for the information.
Cadillac's Village is an account of the settling of Detroit by the French in the years 1701 - 1710.
It includes directories of the original town in 1708 as well one as of everyone who lived in or visited the town in that period. Joyce Scott was kind
enough to provide a copy of this document that was originally published as a series in the News-Tribune in the summer of 1896. Why include information
from Detroit in a page on Early Ontario, you may ask? A lot of these families are involved in the fur trade and had family connections throughout the rest of Canada, but most
especially to Sandwich, Essex County, which is right across the river. In those days there was no border, and nothing to stop a free flow of goods and people from one community
to the other. If you find this page of help, try checking out the following links.
See the Detroit Genealogy
site and their publications for more on the early residents and voyageurs.
The Baptism records for theChurch of the Assumption,
located in Sandwich, Essex County. These records are for the period 1761 to 1786. Also includes a few
marriages from the years 1760 to 1781.
Almost all are records of the early French-Canadian settlers. Burials, and moremarriages (15k).
Documents Historiques No. 87 is a small book written in 1989 by Micheline Marchand and entitled
Les Voyageurs et la Colonisation de Pénétanguishene (1825-1871). It includes a list of the voyageurs and the land grants they received. It is an expansion of
the work of A. C. Osborne that is listed above under Migration of Voyageurs.
In 1784 Edward Umfreville made a journey of discovery from Pays Plat on Lake Superior to
Boundary Island in the Winnipeg River. It began on June 16 and ended on July 23. During
this time, Umfreville, his foreman, six voyaguers and various native and metis guides
paddled their way across northwestern Ontario in a passage it was hoped would become part
of a new route for the transport of furs from the west to Montreal. I've created maps to
trace his route and permit the reader of his journal to follow along with the party. Not a
lot of genealogy, but great history. See My Site Map
I was advised of a transcription of "The Parish Register of the Mission of Michilimackinac," which is a translation from a copy of the original in possession of the parish church of Ste. Anne at Mackinac. 'It consists of one large volume, with the records of marriages entered at one end, and those of baptisms at the other. The record of interments is meagre. This volume extends in time from 1741--1821'. In March, 1889, Judge Hon. Edward Osgood Brown of Chicago read a paper before the Chicago Literary Club, entitled "The Parish Register of the Mission of Michilimackinac," which was published in the same year. Many of the families mentioned
migrated to Drummond Island and thence to Penetanguishene.
The translation of this work is at the National Library of Congress site, and you can view the translation at the following links. Baptisms,
Marriages, Burials.
Old Fort William has an interesting site for history of the Voyaguers and the modern
recreation of a fur trade era fort. They will do paid research. See Fort William Historical Park
