I am trying to find the parents of Forris or Forrest Wood or Woods. See the attached screen shot for his family. I know that he bought land in Derby VT, but he was married and his children were born in Georgeville Stanstead Quebec. The border was between the two places. His family was in Georgeville in the 1825 census. Where can I look for more Canadian records for his children's and possibly his birth, and his marriage? any more ideas on where I can look. Thanks

    Hello, @Rimsky5

    Further to Alan's advice, you might try a virtual genealogy consultation:

    I have done all of the things listed by Alan. Serving as a CSM in US Canada, I have tried everything I have learned through the Tier3 Advanced training. I was hoping to find someone who specialized in the area. I'll check with Beth and Vickie next week. Thank you so much for your time and efforts.
