377. CedarHillGrant : Searching for SIBLINGS of my husband’s mother:
1. Girl, born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 04 August 1919, daughter of Alexander William Smith (1884-1932) and Emily Whiteman Smith (1888-1926). She was baptized and named EDNA GIBSON SMITH on 14 January 1921 at Victoria Presbyterian Church , Montreal. She was baptised again, along with her brother and sister, on 03 Jan 1926, at Chalmers United Church in Montreal.
2. Boy, born in Montreal, Quebec, Canada on 31 May 1921, son of Alexander William Smith (1884-1932) and Emily Whiteman Smith (1888-1926). He was baptised and named GORDON ALEXANDER SMITH, along with his two sisters, on 03 Jan 1926, at Chalmers United Church in Montreal.
My husband’s sister was born Marjorie Smith (27May1925) Montreal, Canada, daughter of Alexander W. Smith (1884-1932) and Emily Whiteman (1888-1926). Marjorie and two of her siblings were baptised on January 3rd 1926 at Chalmers United Church in Montreal, with their parents and birthdates listed. Records at the same church show their mother Emily died the month after all three children were baptised.
Marjorie was adopted by Charles and Edith Langlois, and baptised at the Portneuf Presbyterian Church, in Portneuf, Quebec, on November 15, 1926.
Using records on Ancestry.ca we have found that Marjorie had two siblings who were also baptised in January 1926 at Chalmers United Church in Montreal. We have found no further records on Marjorie’s brother or sister after their baptism, so we suspect they were also adopted. We don’t know if this was a formal/legal adoption or an informal adoption through the church. As Marjorie kept her birthdate and birthplace we suspect her brother and sister will have also.
We have been able to search back on Ancestry and learn more about Marjorie’s parents and their ancestors. But we have found nothing on either her sister or brother. Records do show a sister (first name unknown, possibly born about 1914 in England) and a brother James (born about 1921) but as we have found no further records on them we suspect they may have died young.
Thanks!

383. Pattiknechtel : My husband was adopted from Quebec Canada in 1966. His original/birth name was JOSEPH LUC ROY We have been working with
Centre Jeunesse Montreal and when the new law was passed we received the name of his birth mother (Lucille Berthelot), her bday and unfortunately the date she passed. He was also told he had a younger brother who was shipped abroad but were unable to give his name.
Since we found her name I bought him a "my heritage" DNA kit for his birthday. We are currently awaiting the results for this.
We have also tried searching for any other answers but have still come up short. Most of the siblings listed on the genealogy list are marked private. If he could find any other people who have any other kind of information that could help or even point us/home in the right direction.

I was adopted in montreal and now live in the UK. I have had a very successful life and would like to meet members of my birth family.

She had a serious childhood illness and was cared for by an aunt for a few years, and could not attend school.

387. Babyjanemarie : My mother gave birth to me at 26 years old at the Queen Elizabeth hospital. She was from Sydney, Nova Scotia and moved to Montreal or Toronto to live with her sister, Dorothy Goodwin (married name). She is size two and is 4 feet 11 inches tall. She has 8 or 9 siblings. Her father was a coal miner. She is Catholic and liked to sing in the choir. I believe my father’s name was Albert Goodwin. My mother went on to marry and adopt a son. A social contacted her when I was in my late twenties. She was too nervous to meet me but did share aspects of her life to the Social Worker. She was too nervous to meet me as she had not told her husband or son about me.
