[or-roots] Pickett in New Brunswick

[Harguess, Dale]

One more thing.  I don't remember telling you that my great
grandmother's name was Catherine.
If this Daniel Flynn that came over early had a wife named Catherine and
then they had a daughter named Genevieve perhaps she would have named
her daughter Catherine.  Reason I think this way is that my Catherine
Pickett named her only daughter Genevieve.
Naming patterns can be helpful but also a pain if everyone in the whole
family named all their kids the same names.  Yuck!


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

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

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

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.
