To help lend some context to the site, here are all of the family names I am interested in grouped into the four main family branches I am currently researching.

Jen,
I am a descendant of the Oakley’s, now living in Illinois but from Ontario originally. Alice Coulman’s brother, Thomas, is my great-great grandfather.
I have plenty of Oakley family history if you are interested.

Hi Jena
A few years ago my brother Michael forwarded me a link to your website – in particular that concerning Clark and Ansted Fruit brokers.
At the time I didn’t have the time to follow up exactly what your link to the Ansteds is. Now that I have the time I’ve looked at your story of how the Ansteds arrived in Canada and I presume your grandfather Fee married one of Dionysia and Thomas Burton’s 6 daughters, but can you tell me which?
But perhaps I have got it all wrong.
Hoping for clarification
Chris Ansted
PS I’m from over on the William and Hester (nee Turner) Ansted branch.
I believe that Philip St John was the son of a baron in Limerick, Ireland that immigrated to Canada and became my great grandfather. My father was John St John and his father was Homer St John. Both immigrated to the U.S. I would love to learn of other relatives.
I was contacted by the Hunt family in Canada to help with the family tree of my grandmother, Alice Hunt or Pigeon. She was marred to Homer St John. Her ancestor, Pigeon, was a publisher who immigrated from France to Canada.
I am also a LUSTY and looking for information .my father was John Gordon LUSTY born 1946 …his mother Janet Breen MacIntyre 1911-1987 and Percy Lusty (thompson)1906-1986 born HAMILTON …Percy parents were from England and Janet Scotland …. I was told by ancestry we were related to the Coates family from Toronto…but not finding any info…..can you lend a hand
Hello;
There was a Harrison family involved with the Temple. Hiram Harrison had a son Joshua, and numerous other children. Either Hiram or his son or both were involved in the building of the original temple, and the family story is that when the building was completed, there was a party, and the ancestor led the dancing with his fiance. I think that would have been Joshua. I am a direct descendant of Hiram Harrison. Would you please add the Harrison family to the listing? Thanks.
