[or-roots] Pickett in New Brunswick

[Harguess, Dale]

Very interesting.  My guy's name was Daniel Flynn and so was his
father's name, but you're right, that was a little early.  I think he
came over when he was six and it was before the civil war so I am
guessing in the 1850's or so.  I have the exact date at home because it
is on his obituary and also on the 1900 census.
I wonder if this Flynn was the father of my great grandmother's mother
Genevieve Flynn.
I know exactly what you mean about helping others and it helping you in
return.  That has happened to me many times.  I am helping a friend and
her husband right now and have discovered that we are all related
distantly and that is a real kick.  I have known her husband for 32
years and her for over 20.  Now I find out that he is related to her,
she and he are both related to me.  I just love genealogy.

Dale; I have almost never "wasted time" chasing after other people's
"brick
walls."

True I have almost never been much help to them, though I am sure I have
at
least once or twice made a break through for someone, but I have many
times
been able to turn over stones they had missed and more to the point
almost
every search I have ever made for some one else has given me new clues
to
questions of my own or in some incredible cases of serendipity in the
process of chasing another person's missing ancestor I have stumbled
across
a missing person of my own in a place it had never occurred to me to
look.

On that note here is an intereting Ancestry site you might want to check
out
if you have Ancestry.com;

http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=1075&cj=1&o_xid=000237063

lid=0002370634

it is a record of Canadian border crossings from 1895-1956.

http://archives.gnb.ca/Irish/Databases/PassengerLists/Details.aspx?cultu
re=e
n-CA&Key=1541

lists one Daniel Flynn, immigrant to New Brunswick in 1833 age 21, but
that
seems to be too far back for your guy?

that is from Passenger lists which the home of the index is here;

IF I am wrong about the timing you might want to look here at 1851 and
1861

Now as I understand it this is like any online data base not guaranteed
to
be completee. Soit doesn't rule out Catherine having been born there.

That seems to be about as much as I can find in Canada, I don't find any
matches in NS data base and New Foundland/Labrador doesn't seem to have
an
online index, just some newspapers you can browse.
