Thomas was born Canada Aug. 27,1838 and died Dec 25,1907 in Pittsburgh,Pa

I did get a copy of his death cert.

Comment by Debby Parkinson Worden on March 22, 2015 at 6:10am: Bob seems to be a few Thomas Brennan born ~1837 is there a wife or mothers name I could have?

Comment by Bob Mooney-Pa on March 21, 2015 at 6:03pm: I am looking for info on the parents of Thomas Brennan born abt 1837.

I believe his father was Matthew Brennan but not 100% sure.

It's possible Matthew was a gardener in West Toronto in 1871.

I believe he was born abt 1809 in Ireland.

Comment by Robert J. Park on October 31, 2012 at 1:03pm: My Park line, and my Joslin/Joslyn line are both from Ontario. The Joslyns came from the US as UEL into New Brunswick and the Park's came from Scotland - both then into Ontario. I have found my Joslins in Oxford Co and the Park line in Oxford Co. and in city of Hamilton. The Joslins (all large Families) then shifted into Michigan. Some Joslins moved west to Manitoba and Saskatchewan as did my direct Park line.

Comment by James P. LaLone on November 17, 2011 at 7:41am: From the Quebec-Research mailing list -

Hi there,

Anyone using the Library & Archives Canada (LAC) website for their
research knows how precious a resource it is. What you may not know,
however, is that massive budget cutbacks and a recent change in
management policy are threatening the preservation of this institution.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) has just launched
an awareness campaing about what is really going on at LAC and the very
serious implication this will have on the future of the preservation of
Canada's cultural heritage.

To know more about this issue:
