Searching for info about my grandmother's maternal mother who gave her up for adoption in Quebec. My grandmother's name on her birth cert was Marie Celine Terese Nobert born Apr 5th, 1927. She was adopted from the Creche D'youville orphanage on July 17, 1929. Apparently her biological mother married later on in life and had a son. Any info would be great. Please contact Kat or Sacha.

I am a male born 20 June 1962 in Montreal. I was briefly in foster care and then adopted through the Red Feather Agency, which at the time was a service run by the Salvation Army. The adoption was finalized (I believe in Montreal, but possibly the Eastern Townships area) in late 1962 or very early 1963. I have very little background information, and what I do have has not been verified. There is a possibility that my birth name was John Lawrence (or Laurence) Birth mother may be of Scottish or Irish heritage and father French-Canadian (again, none of this is known for sure). I have a distinguishing birthmark on the back of one hand. Not looking to be a burden in anyones life, just want to know something about where I came from. Please contact Chuck.

Looking for info on my mother's father. His name is Jean-Claude Barras. We believe he is from the Riviere-du-Loup area. My mother has met him once 20+ years ago but lost contact. He was born approx late 1920s or early 1930s. He is between 5'5" and 5'7" tall. The only other info we have on him is that he was in the construction business when dating my grand-mother (in the 60's). He may have resided in or travelled a lot to Cornwall Ontario for a while in the 1960's. He was to be married to Beatrice Payette (my grand mother) of Cornwall Ontario. We know that he has at least 2 other children, probably in their late 40's or early 50's in age. My mother was born Feb 1964. My grand-mother always said that he always owned the nicest cars and was very well dressed. My mother always wonders about her siblings. Please contact Melissa.

My birth mother was named Deborah. She was Jewish and came from Alberta. She gave birth to me at the Salvation Army Catherine Booth Hospital in Montreal on Nov 21, 1959. She named me Michael Joseph at birth. There was a Jewish Adoption agency that handled my adoption. I have an old letter that records that she inquired about me for over a year after my birth, that she was depressed. Then one day she stopped writing. I assume she had moved on. I am 49 years old now and have always wondered what happened. At my age, I may not be able to actually meet or be given the chance to know her. I fully understand this. Some additional info was that she sang in the Jewish Choir in Edmonton or Calgary and that she worked in the dental field. I too sing, am a concert pianist and have been musical all of my life; something I believe she gave me. Please contact Ian.

Looking for info on John and Jane Langford. The Langford's came from Wales to Montreal in the late 1800's. John worked as the groundskeeper at Mount Royal Cemetery. I believe they may have lived in a property on the cemetery grounds (probably around 1904). The Langford's raised Jane's nephew, Stanley Davies, who was my father. I have a certificate from a school in Outremont (called Strathcona) in 1903 when Stanley graduated from primer school. Both John and Stanley were members of a Masonic Lodge in Quebec. I think sometime in the late 1920's Stanley left Canada to work as a landscaper in the Detroit Michigan area. Jane at some time suffered from melancholy depression and lived at the Verdum Protestant Hospital until her death in 1940. I'm not sure when she went there, but she was 83 when she died. I also believe she had other relatives from Wales living in the Montreal area. I believe John died around 1950 somewhere around Ontario. I know jane is buried in Mount Royal Cemetery and I believe John may be there, as well. Please contact David.
