Maison Raizenne
There is another ancestral home, dating from 1726, in Oka Quebec. This one was build by my Puritan English ancestors, Josiah Rising (s/o John Rising and Sarah Hall) and Abigail Nims (d/o Godfrey Nims and Mehitable Smead) . They were children living in Deerfield Massachusetts when on the 29th of February, 1704 the French and Indians raided the settlement. About 50 were killed and 112 taken prisoner, including Josiah (age 9) and Abigail (age 3). They were both adopted by the Mohawk (Iroquois of the Mountain) near Lake of Two Mountains, Abigail was given the name Kanawkwa (Kenaskwa) while Josiah was named Shonatakakwani. They were both baptized in the Catholic Church with the names Ignace Raizenne Shoentakouani and Marie Elisabeth Nimbs Touatoguach. They were married in 1715 and I am descended from their third daughter Marie Catherine Raizenne Shoentakouani.
Marie Catherine married Jean Baptiste Seguin in 1742. Their daughter Elisabeth Seguin married Antoine Quesnel (my 4x great grandfather) in 1762. The first photo dates from about 1890. Last edited by John McGillivray; 22-02-10 at 02:59.

My little bit of history
This tea service was presented to my great great Grandfather on his 80th. birthday by the people of Adelong for his service to the comunity. Dad wanted it resilvered as it had been over cleaned over the years so Mum had it done in his memory. The tea service will be 100 years old in September 2010.

Old Pictures.
Quote:
I was going through a bunch of old pictures yesterday and found a regimental picture of my fathers Artillery regiment take in 1940 in Trachadie New Brunswick.. He is in there according to a little arrow scratched into the picture..It is small and I will have to have it digitally enhanced and blown up to see any details..A nice unexpected find for me..He was a Bdr.as indicated on the back of the picture and ended the war as a Staff Sergeant..he was on 25 pounders..

it's interesting but!
what have photos and stories of Dauphin, Manitoba & Oka Quebec got to do with Aussie History?
As I am interested as I am sure others are how about putting this stuff in another thread called "A Piece of Canadian History" or similar where other folk may find it easier.

More Aussie History
My love of early Australian history & military history combined when I photographed an old settlers cottage recently.
Drawn in by the sheer rustic beauty of the building, (built in the 1890's) - the stringybark slab walls are plastered with old newspapers dating between the 1890's to the 1920's - including a wall covered in WW1 news & photographs. This is close to the last of the original settlers huts in this district. there were 2 similar huts on properties that National parks took over - these were promptly pushed to the ground & burned.......enough said. The photos were only taken on a mobile phone hence the poor quality. I must return there for a much better inspection one day. Regards Robert. Last edited by Ghost; 11-10-12 at 02:10.
