Re: George or Charles LaROSE

mackinnon5522 — 2013-05-12 21:34:02Z

Hello and thanks for the suggestions. I will visit the Toronto Library the next time i'm in the city.

The first child Gail (Born 1943) was given her mother's married name of Gray but not sure about the boy Charles (born 1944 to 1949) , we were not even aware of him until very recently.

It is thought that George Larose was from northern Quebec and George's side of the family or the Children's Aid were involved in placing him up there because of the Indian in him......just a theory for the reasoning though, Alice (age 94) has just said "he went north."

We know that Gail was born in Toronto and we figure Charles was too, but we are pretty sure that George Larose was from northern Quebec.

We have never met Charles and he may not even be aware of us, seeing we just found out about him.

Hi Sorry I can't be of help - but a few thoughts

Have you also posted to the Ontario board -General or Toronto. Perhaps there are LaROSE family that can help

Do you know if George LaROSE came from /lived in Toronto Ontario?
Search City Directory - Criss Cross directories - name to address - address to name [directories are often held at Public Libraries ]
The criss cross directory - is updated annually -shows all adult persons living at an address - occupation /may show place of work.

Was he in the Military service

Did the children carry the fathers surname or LaROSE or the surname of the mother GRAY?
How old was Charles when he was sent to Northern Canada
What was the reason Charles was sent to Northern Canada
Where - in Northern Canada.
Do you have contact with Charles

George or Charles LaRose

mackinnon5522 — 2013-05-07 18:30:18Z

George larose fathered two children in Toronto Ontario, a girl named Gail in 1943 and a boy sometime between 1944-1949 named Charles. Apparently Charles was sent up to Northern Canada and Gail (Gray) grew up mainly in Toronto. I don't have any info other that but am looking into this side of my family. At the time, the mother's (my grandmother) name was Alice Ellen Gray. If anyone has information on the Larose family, I would really appreciate it. Don't know where else to look....Thanks, Penny

Hi, What Time Frame are you researching ?
Best to start with most current information and work back
Where in USA did Sarah LEPRD nee CAMPBELL - settle.
If she is no longer living?
Registration of Death/ Long form Death Certficate may show the names of her parents including maiden name of the mother.
Where did Sara CAMPBELL and Abram LEPARD get married
Registration of marriage - will show names of both sets of parents including maiden name of the mothers
This information is more accurate than death reg - since information comes from bride and groom.
When? Where ? did Alexander CAMPBELL pass away?
Registration of Death should show name of spouse
OBITUARIES - may be helpful.

Re: Hudson Bay trading post

kentek2064 — 2009-12-18 14:42:12Z

Hudson bay is owned by the BAY and the BAY is a commercial version of the Hudson bay company and always has been. I would speculate at this point that perhaps the other(Northwest Company) is Zellers Corp. and they are both one and the same now. I've always presumed that the better one being the Bay took over Zellers.. whichever does not really matter except for trivia buffs. And as far as Amalgamation goes? just a word! one took over the other for some reason. it's the way things work these days..
Suffice it to say they are both one and the same now!

Little known fact, but HBC is now The Bay, and not Northwest company. Northwest Company and HBC were rivals. cold winter nights in the North are not a slice of heaven under ANYTHING. It's freaking cold!

My ancesters, John Holland and Ann Elizabeth Foote left Ireland and arrived in Charleston in the year of 1807. They raised their family there and I later read that they died in Canada John Holland10 Jan 1839 and Ann Foote 1836. There was no listing as to where in Canada they are buried. I would be most grateful for anyone who can help me with the search of information. Thank you so much!

Great to meet you! Send me your email address (you can email me at cbaer@vineyard.net) and I'll send you some articles I found written by Capt. Cleveland in 1924 that you should enjoy! I've heard many nice things about your father, and I think I have a photo of him with his brother, which I can send you if you're interested. Are you from Naujaat?

Take care and thanks for writing!

Hi,

My name is Ducas Milortok, and My Grandfather was George Cleveland, and my father (who passed away 4 years ago) was Philip Kripanik. My uncle was Abraham Tagornak.

I don't have much information about my grandfather, as my father did not have the oppertunity to get to know him very well. However I would like to find out more about my grandfather's history. If you have anything you can share it would be much appreciated.

Thankyou very much,

Hi Marlene -

I'd love to exchange information with you on this family. Below is what I have to date on Abraham. Feel free to email me as well at cbaer(*at*)vineyard.net.

Abraham Tagornak was born in the early 1920s (?) between Igloolik and Repulse Bay. His mother was Lea/Leah Angnauyak/Angaujaq/Arnaujaq and his father was Qovik, although his biological father is uncertain - it could have been Capt. Cleveland or Qovik. He had a younger brother, Phillip Kripanik. Tagornak lived in Repulse Bay and died June 2007.

He was married Leetia/Litia/Letia Kunuk (1928-1988), a Repulse Bay sculptor.

He was a linguist, an Anglican Lay preacher, and a father of twelve. He has taught himself to read and write in English, and enjoyed literature. He told Inuit legend stories, was a hunter, provider, environmentalist, and served as a social worker to some Inuit. He was respected and sometimes domineering. The family moved to Churchill, Manitoba for a period where he worked for the provincial government. They returned to Repulse Bay in 1964.

I don't know if this will help at all. My great-grandmother married John Karpik sometime between 1920 and 1930. On the 1930 census it states that he was from Poland. The name was spelled as Karpek. I couldn't find anything from Ellis Island on him and have been hitting a brick wall with this name.

Re: Hudson Bay trading post

genealogyresearcher — 2006-12-23 23:15:08Z

Nah, I am so white I am almost clear.
The inuit people are amazing in so many ways. I don't think they realize they are losing parts of their history because so little is written down and archived...yet so much is indeed passed down via oral history. Yet as we know, that tends to be forgotton and changed through the years.

They are very strong, resourceful, and resilient people. I suppose disregarding the fact I hated the cold, the best part of living up there was meeting the inuit people. As much as we all are alike, we are very, very different in so many ways.

Cheers

Re: Re: Hudson Bay trading post

2006-12-23 23:14:40Z

Are You Inuit? I am white and I have been doing my genealogy and recently discovvered that one of my branches was mainly German my early relatives were among the early seetlers and founders of what we now call and take for granted as Ontario.

I embrace the Inuit for the true people that they are. I respect where they have come from and it's unfortunate that so many have lost touch with there true nature and do not respect there history. However this IS a modern world and we have to learn to grow with the times. It's my beleafe that every culture and race will contribute to the greater good of our HUMAN race as time go's by. I like to think that we're just in a 'rutt' or a 'slump' and when we finnaly wake up I honestly hope that we will all contribute to what is yet to come. OK enough of the futurist's beleafes.
Well I guess that I am definately south of 60 then and eventhough I loved geography in school I have forgotten everything , it's just a blur now. lol. Like I said Duh! meaning me for not knowing.
Well nice talking to you .

Re: Hudson Bay trading post

genealogyresearcher — 2006-12-23 23:13:49Z

I've been in a few, the one in Churchill Manitoba looks like an old post when you go in, smells strongly of tanned skins and has everything you would expect it too, including the furs and skins for the ladies to make their mocasins.
The one in Yellowknife much the same but more touristy, their furs are both raw and finished the finished ones made into $10,000 bedspreads
<sigh> PETA would be outraged but methinks going to sleep on a cold winter night in the North would be a slice of heaven under one of those!

HBC puts out a catalogue that goes out to everyone up there.

It sells clothing for everyday, food, wedding gowns, skidoos, tents...you know, the important stuff! I am glad I didn't have to buy my wedding gown from HBC, they are lovely, but can you imagine the sizing nightmare?

Went and looked, it is now called Northwest Company

http://www.selections.ca/s_group.jsp
(Do NOT consider this an ad, if you live below North of 60 you can not even order from them, they will not ship to you....not to mention why would you want to???)

Where else can you buy a wood stove, rifle, freezer, wedding gown and long underwear all from the same catalogue!?!?!

Re: Hudson Bay trading post

genealogyresearcher — 2006-03-12 14:37:02Z

We say North of 60 , but actually they ship *south of 60* because I am pretty sure <---does that scream that I slept through geography?--- Thompson Mb is South of it and they ship there.
They ship to *Northern Communities*

Anyway, I know the 60th Parallel park is right on the NWT and Alberta border, and I *believe* the *line* where the yukon, NWT (and now Nunavut) intersect with lower provinces is the 60th parallel.

Jamie
Thankfully living far *South of 60* now, 12 years in Yellowknife was 11 too long.

I do wonder why very few inuit do genealogy, when I see the boards with only scant postings, usually from folks who had realtives go up there in the 1900's, it always makes me curious.

Hudson Bay trading post

2004-12-03 00:18:07Z

I saw something on the web or on a news program once about this trading post that is being forced to move forward with modern civilization and upgrade there store to be something more of a General store or to compete with Wal-Mart or something of that matter.
Anyway they said that they were the only trading post out there for over 100 years or something like that. They claimed to have had all kinds of famous cowboys and stuff go through there.
My suggestion is that you try and locate the trading post and see if they have a registry and perhaps you can draw on that.
Just a suggestion though.

Hmmm? Who would have thought that watching a TV show about the north would someday help somebody find long lost relatives? Well hope it helps, good luck.

Funny thing is that I requested to be removed from this notification and for some reason this one still got through.
