Family tree

Agnes_Paradise — 2009-10-11 21:03:44Z

If this will help me understand the simple mechanics of my own family tree in(Ancestry.com) I'd be more then interested in trying anything to simplify the tree to my mental aptitude. i am irritaded because today my granddaughter sent me an e-mail asking if I could help her find ancestry information necessary for a school paper. Well I failed because i could not find what she needed at my fingertip ... no information in return for her school project.

Dear a1c38053: I am a descendant of a Charles PARADICE, brother of George PARADICE (my Maternal Grandfather, Frederick George PARADICE was a grandson of Charles PARADICE). I would be very interested in sharing what we have on our relatives! BTW I live in Canada.
If anyone else out there is related to this PARADICE family (sometimes spelt as PARADISE) I would be interested in hearing from them. Thank you.

maureen0000 — 2007-10-28 00:50:47Z

Hi,
I am interested in any info for the last name Paradice, which is my mother's maiden name. We don't know much about her grandfather other than the fact that his name was Samuel Isaac Paradice. My great grandmother ran away with him to Spokane Washington (she was from Pacific Grove California). We think this may have happened in 1902-06? WE think he, Samuel Isaac was a traveling salesman.

Does the name Samuel Isacc ring any bells. Also, we think he may have come form either Canada or Louisiana.

If you have any information or could point me in the right direction, I should be very grateful.
Thanks,
Maureen

Hi there,

These look like very old posts. Hopefully someone will be able to help me out.

In regards to this post, I have additional information, I think.

Harvey Wade Paradise had a sister named Alice.

Alice Marie Paradise is my GGrandmother.

She married James Murphy, my GGrandfather.

My Grandfather was Clarence Murphy.

I am confused on the Tennessee Paradise connection. Everything I see on Ancestry says that she was the daughter of Richard and Sarah Paradise.

I believe that she was a neighbor who married Oregail (or Aragail)

Help please!!!

I am sure that someone already figured this out. Any help woulf be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rose Ann Paradise –
1.) From family, she was born October 12, 1886 in MA around Boston and her family was from Canada (French Canadian from Quebec?). She had a sister named Eva who married a Schieman (sp?) and got divorced shortly afterwards which was a big deal in the early 1900s. She also had 4 brothers. She married Daniel Columbus Foley and moved to St. Louis, MO. I called her Nana and she was very short (in the 4’ height range). I also believe she had arthritis in her spine which caused her to bend over. She died November 29, 1977.
2.) According to the 1920 census, Rose’s father and mother were listed as both being Canadian. According to the 1910 and 1930 census she listed her parents as both French Canadians. She was born about 1887 in MA.
3.) According to the 1920 census there was a Thomas and Sophie Paradise living in Quincy, MA with 3 sons and their daughter Eva Sc???man with her two children’s last name being Schieman. They moved to the US from Canada in 1884.

James Paradise m. Demetilde LeValey

ConiP — 2004-12-15 14:05:04Z

I have Paradise's in my family line as well. The addition to the "E" on the end may be wrong.....

My G-G-G-Grandfather was James Paradise who married Demetilde LeValey. They had at least one child named Josephine Paradise who was born approx. May 15, 1858 and died July 30, 1907. Josephine Paradise married Norbert Faucher.

All of the above were from Canada, around the St. Thomas De Pierreville area in Quebec.

Does any of that sound familiar? I hope so.....

OHaraHaworth68 — 2004-06-15 21:45:31Z

Hi, Karen!

I am an ARBOUR researcher with thousands of ARBOURs in my files. However, I do not seem to have a union between Jacqueline ARBOUR and Christian Joseph PARADIS (the "normal" French-Canadian spelling). I do have a number of Jacquelines who could be your mother, though. These women seem old enough to have borne a child in 1944 but not yet married. I don't have any of them living in Rimouski, QC, but that doesn't mean that they weren't. It also doesn't mean they didn't go to visit relatives and have a baby there.

I sure wish that I could be of more help to you. Have you checked the online adoptees registries?

Were you adopted as an infant? How did you get from Canada to NY?

I wish you the best of success!

My great grandmother was Rose Paradise. She married Daniel Foley from Boston MA and they moved to St. Louis. I believe her father was Thomas Paradise. The stories in the family are that her family moved to the US from Canada and Rose was born here. I have not been able to confirm the connection between Rose and Thomas. I also know that Daniel Foley's family came from Nova Scotia, I think in the same time frame.
