GENEALOGY
GENEALOGY BEGINS AS AN INTEREST
BECOMES A HOBBY
CONTINUES AS A VOCATION
TAKES OVER AS AN OBSESSION
AND IN ITS LAST STAGES
IS AN INCURABLE DISEASE
AUTHOR UNKNOWN
SEE SITE THANK YOU JAN JACOT

Song is Sweet Betsey from Pike -Lesley Nelson created Midi file. This is the melody of song sung by our ancestors working in the Woodbridge clay banks, there were many variations. Here is one verse,
Hands in his pocket,
A little straw hat
Face like a monkey
Tail like a cat.

The information below has taken over 2 years to research, organize and finally start to post to a web page. At times it has been very frustrating, and thoughts of putting aside has come across my mind. But then I will receive an email or a telephone call with a little more information and than the obsession takes hold again. I hope everyone will enjoy reading the next few pages, and hopefully will contribute to the site. |

MACIVERS-The next part is dedicated to my Grandmother Dorothy Hazel MacIver side, the MacIver ancestors. It is my understanding that my grgreatgrandfather Daniel, was from Inverness Scotland, where his family had a hotel and fishing business back in the very early 1800's. He went to Canada possibly in the early 1840's where he had a total of 11 children. Some I have been able to find information on, but the search continues. My grgreatgrandmother was Margaret but to date have been unable to find her last name. I have been able to find their final resting place in Linden, New Jersey. My grgrandfather was Daniel Albert MacIver and he was married to Sydnia Fitzpatrick of Ballyshannon Ireland. I have found different spelling variations of the name in the family as well. October 2001 I was able to locate a cousin who has helped with finding more ancestors. Thank you Margaret Mills |
