[or-roots] Pickett in New Brunswick

[Leslie Chapman]

Dale; you didn't mention Catherine in this cycle, but in a past discussion
you and Pat had on your problems you did mention her. First thing I always
do when I get interested in chasing something like that is google it because
different tactics get different results and you never know when something
new might be posted, but all I found was you and Pat talking about it on
OR-roots. Don't know if I put in my two bits then or not, it might have been
a busy time for me.

And you are definitley right about the naming patterns, I've told it here
many times my ?X great grand father Thomas Wheeler and his half brother
Thomas and two first cousins, all born in a five year period or so in New
England and all mistaken for each other at one time or another by
genealogists.

Or John, Jonathan in my Melvin line; something like fifty of them in my
family file!!

If you haven't explored those data bases it might be worth your while
because I didn't know exactly the why and when so was concentrating on
1880 - 1900 some where in those links you can find your way to the 1851 1861
NB Census also.

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
4&o_
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
NB Census

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.
