Looking for information on my grandmother's family. My grandmother was born Gertrude Ezekiel in Harbour Main, Newfoundland in 1905 to Michael & Anna (Hawco) Ezekiel. Michael & Anna had 2 sons..Christopher & Joseph. Michael's father and mother were Paul Ezekiel & Lucy (Gorman) Ezekiel. From what I can find 2 of Paul & Lucy's children settled in Boston...Peter (born Oct. 11, 1878) and Mary Gertrude (born 1889). I've been able to locate marriage records for both Peter & Mary Gertrude. Another son, Joseph, was killed in World War 1. There are also 2 other sons, Patrick & William. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Hi there. My grandfather was Christopher Ezekiel. I don't know a lot about the extended family but if there are any particular questions you have, please feel free to let me know and I can try to answer them.

My grandfather died in 1996 and my grandmother, Margaret Ezekiel, in 2005. They had 10 children and 19 grandchildren, most of whom live in various provinces of Canada. When I was growing up, we had an old black and white photo of my mother's "Aunt Gert," which would be your grandmother, framed in our living room. All I knew about her was that she moved away to the US when she was very young.

Our great uncle Joe, who died in the 80s, had a claim to fame that he was one of the only people ever to catch a live giant squid. There was an article about him written in Reader's Digest back in the 80s. My grandparents had a copy of it in their house. Here is a photo: http://ngb.chebucto.org/Dist_Photo/hm-squid.shtml

With such a large family, there are obviously lots of things I could go on about. Like I said, if there is anything in particular you are curious about, feel free to send me a message.

Surnames: Re: Ezekiels from Harbour Main, Newfoundland to NY & Boston,
Good afternoon,

Thanks for taking the time to read & respond to my post. Some of the questions I have are:

Do you know where the Ezekiels came from prior to arriving in Newfoundland?

Do you have any info on our Great Grandmother Anna Hawco?

Do you have any info on our Great Great Grandparents, Paul & Lucy Ezekiel.

When I was a kid and we lived in the Bronx for awhile with my Grandmother, we had a visit from Gertrude Ezekiel and her children, Todd, Debbie & Sheila. I also remember Marion Ezekiel & Wilhelm Frantzen and their son Klaus visiting my family in Massachusetts sometime in the 1970s.

I could go on but that's it for now.

Thanks again!

Hi Laurie,

Your grandfather is my Nana's (Gertrude) brother. I actually have 2 photos of her posted on ancestry.com..one when she was about 20 years old and another when she was about 74 years old. I also have a photo posted of Joseph Ezekiel (our great- grandfather's brother) who was killed during WWI. I also have a photo of your grandfather with my nana taken sometime in the early 1980s which is not posted. Do you know when the Ezekiels settled in Newfoundland?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Helen,

I'm Rosemarie's daughter, Laura. I would love to see the photo of my Nana as a young girl. You can send it to my e-mail address: l.hughes@comcast.net

Do you know where the Ezekiel family originally came from and how they ended up in Newfoundland? From my research I was quite surprised to learn that some of the Ezekiels settled in Boston, Massachusetts.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi, I'm Beth Ezekiel. My great grandparents were William Ezekiel (1878-1965) and Johanna Fewer (1872-1964). They were from Harbour Main and moved to Camden, NJ in the early 1900s. I'm not sure if/how we are related. WIlliam's parents were John Ezekiel and Grace Wall of Harbour Main. FYI... many church records before the 1850s were burned in a fire, they were mostly from St. Patrick's Church. St Peter/Paul Church came about in the 1850's. Also, I have heard that the Ezekiels were originally from Ireland, and Ezekiel was not the real name, but one taken when they went to Newfoundland.
