    1. Q: In researching my husband's family in Simcoe County, references are made to one being buried in FLANDERS FIELDS, another was a MASTER MARINER (I would assume on the Great Lakes), and the third, at one time drove on the WASSAGA STAYNOR STAGECOACH. Any suggestions on how to proceed on the above information. Thank you.
      A:
      Have you typed any of these search words into a search engine to see what appears?

      From Shelley: Your relation that was a Master Mariner, could have been the Captain of a ship or ferry. Wasaga is on the shores of Georgian Bay, and not far from Collingwood. Collingwood was a ship building town, unfortunately they no longer build ships there. Stayner is south of Collingwood and south west of Wasaga Beach. You could try either posting the information on one of the numerous free genealogy sites. Post under the surname or the areas that have to do with your queries. Good luck.

      Do you have an answer for this question?



    2. Q: Where would I find list of justices of peace early 1900 in simcoe county.
      A:
      The Simcoe Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society have outstanding resources for much of this province and they are really sharp. I spoke there for one of their meetings last year and was very favourably impressed at the breadth and depth of their holdings... Also, info is available on micorofilm from the Simcoe County Archives and covers the period 1876 to 1905 and is called the Vernon Directory. It is possibly available in book form from the library.
