Interesting that they are next-door neighbors to the McPhersons; Annie was a McPherson. Also notice the Scott family further up the page. Walter's grandmother was a Scott. Wouldn't it be interesting if they were all relatives?

By the way, 1901 is also indexed, but I don't see our Cowans. Did I miss something? See for yourself: http://www.wellingtonogs.on.ca/2004/1901Census/PuslinchTwp.htm

Hi Carolynn, we are cousins by marriage, then. Your grandfather's brother Hugh married my great-aunt Grett (Margaret) Cowan. When they moved out here to the west, they came by car, and camped along the way. We had the old tent that they used for many years. I think, being cotton canvas, that it finally fell apart. I slept in that tent so many summer nights! I hope you have seen my post on the McAninch connection with us. I loved Aunt Grett and Uncle Hugh so much!

Genealogy and Genetics

Our DNA does not fade like an ancient parchment; it is not rust in the ground like the sword of a warrior long dead. It is not eroded by wind or rain, nor reduced to ruin by fire and earthquake.

Alsace

Alsace (Ger. Elsass) is now two French departéments, Bas-Rhin [67] (Lower Rhine) & Haut-Rhin [68] (Upper Rhine). The Territory of Belfort [90] is sometimes also included. The Territory of Belfort was formerly part of Haut-Rhin. From 1789 (French Revolution) to 1871, the Departément of the Territory of Belfort didn't exist, because it was included in the department of Haut-Rhin. After the war in 1870-1871, all of Alsace was annexed by Germany except the region of Belfort, which became the "Territory of Belfort" (departément n° 90) in France. After World War I (1918), Alsace became part of France, but the Territory of Belfort remained a separate departément. So, if you have an ancestor who lived 1789-1871 in Haut-Rhin, check for records in the Territory of Belfort. In general, the Alsace was French 1648-1871, German 1871-1918, French 1918-1940, German 1940-1945, French since 1945. A short timeline-table, called Alsace-Lorraine — an Enclave of Ethnic Germans in France
