Hi Jamie My great grandfather (Andrew Grawey) and his family lived in Powassan during the late 19th and early 20th century where he operated a shoe repair business, I'm currently working on a family history and am amazed at all the information you have collected. With your permission, I would like to include a couple of your photos in my family history, one of the 1910 lacrosse club, which includes Stephen Grawey (my great uncle), and one which shows buildings along Main Street (including Grawey's Shoe Repair). The document would be for family members only and not sold or published for general distribution. I have a couple of family photo's you might be interested in - one of Andrew's family and one of George & Alexander Grawey in WW1 uniforms. I have information from the Census and birth, marriage & death records but any other details you might have on the Grawey family would be appreciated. Thank you for putting together your collection. Powassan history is very interesting. Terry Grawey |

Hi, thank you for sharing all of this information! Discovered that my great-great grandfather, Joseph Boller, is buried in the cemetery by St. John's Church. I'm currently working on an article about his daughter Margaret (my great-grandmother) who married first Ferdinand Wimmershoff, and second William Kyle. All from Trout Creek/Commanda/Port Loring area. Best, Kathy |

Many many thanks for this wonderful page. I thoroughly enjoyed reading the book. The page about the United Church confirmed to me that indeed my Grandfather attended along with his siblings. I also looked at 1903 Assessment. Gerows concession and lot number. What a great find. Benjamin wife died 1902. Robert and family moved to Haileybury. |

Hello, what a Great sight and thank you for sharing. I found some interesting information on my Grandfather Edward J. Busch, youngest son of Francis and Julia Busch. I was also able to update my family tree all the way back to the 1800's. Not only that but I wasn't aware that I had french ancestry. |

Just need to make a correction Jamie... they married May 1st, 1935 at Powassan United Church. My Dad's younger sister (known to me all my life as "Aunt Bud") and her husband Art Badgely were their witnesses/matron of honour & best man. |

Hi, my name is Lindy Anne Tucker Davidson. My great grandparents were Mary Ellen Gore and Anthony Tucker. My grandparents were Anthony Ignatius Tucker and Laura Verena Austin. I'm looking to make connection with other members of the family since I only have vague memories of Uncle Jim, Aunt Kathleen, Aunt Brigitte and Aunt Lil as a very small child. Hoping to connect with other family members. My email is [email protected] Hope to hear from some family. |

Hi there, What a fabulous wealth of information & history in your collection! While browsing through the list of "Early Settlers of the Powassan Area" I came across some familiar names. John Thomas Anderson and Sarah Rebecca Anderson were my ggg grandparents.Their daughter Sarah, and her husband Thomas Albert Hicks were my gg grandparents. The Arnolds are also double related to me as Sarah Rebecca Arnold Anderson's sister Elizabeth Arnold was married to my ggg grandfather Orlando Brunson/Bronson. Their grandson, John Hillard Bronson was married to Sarah Agnes Hicks,daughter of Sarah Anderson and Thomas Albert Hicks.Small world.I have been searching for years for information about the Andersons and the Arnolds. Please contact me if you have anything further to share with me or if you are interested in anything I can share with you. Thank You Esther |
