Hi,
This may not be any help to you, but are you sure that
Haldimand is in Quebec. I live in Victoria, British
Columbia and used to live in Ontario.
There is a
Haldimand Township in Ontario - east of Toronto and also a Haldimand-Norfolk Region west of
Toronto.
On the message board, there are 2 ladies (Peggy
Virginia Sanok) who are also looking for relatives in Quebec
who moved to upstate
New York.
I was intrigued that your GGrandfather was William. I'm looking for a Wm who was born in either
Norwich or East
Londonin England and may have moved to Canada or the USA around 1871. He would have been born between 1820 and 1840 - I think.
If there is any connection, please let me know.
