I have recently found my biological father& family(an experience which one can sum up as a cross between the Oprah show & Jerry Springer :)& with heartfelt gratitude to Haliburton residents Nancy Stinson as well as Murray McGuire-no relation though:)). However my new family can not offer any history on the names listed which I am anxious to acquire. The Maguires named are my paternal great grandparents and I am particularly interested at this time in my grgrandfather ancestory(His mother was believed to have been from area of Curve Lake(but not certain) and of native descent. I have no info about her husband(my grgrgrandfather). John Maguire was a stationary enigineer employed at the Haliburton mill(now the lumberyard)for most of his working life while Florence(nee Sherman) was actively involved in the Baptist, Pentecostal and Salvation Army groups. It is known that the family home upon their death was given to one of these churchs and a new home built on it which is today the minister's residence. Any info about John and Florence's(she was from Kinmount) ancestory would be wonderful. As for the name Stevens(Garnet, his relationship to me is that of paternal grandfather(I am the eldest daughter of his son Bruce -his mother is Leona). It is known that he died many years back and suffice it to say that his descendants (he married Lori Davies or Davis? with whom he had a son and daughter)who are my aunt( I believe she has died) and uncle are not aware of me(nor was Garnet). I would also appreciate any info about this family and their ancestory. I can be reached via email at peanut97@home.com I am also available by phone if desired-simply email me with the necessary info and I will get in touch at my expense(I reside in Alberta). I look forward to hearing from someone in the know :) Thanks Kim
