Research help

Deborah Hogan

I have hit a brick wall in doing research on my Vorce line. The answer may lie in the town of Stanbridge, Quebec, but I'm unable to obtain any records for that time period. Does anyone know how I can have access to documents from around 1805 to 1865 from that area? It seems like there's enough that I know they lived there, but not the documents to tell me anything else. Thanks.

Also have you done a full name search of Paternal and Material with the date of death or approximate birth?

If you send me your ancestor's surname, with place of birth, I will send you the many databases that are in Quebec

Currently back to 1600

Ancestry.com shows Henry Vorce and Sophia and their family (6 children) living in Stanbridge - 1851 census, also Sophie and children in 1861. I found baptism of one of their children, Nelson Philander Vorce, baptized March 1844, born 6 jul 1843 (Anglican church). Henry is listed in the militia pay records for January, February, March and April 1839. There are records for their children later in Vermont and New Hampshire. (These records all came up in a search of Ancestry.com for Vorce in Stanbridge, Missisquoi, Quebec.)

Ancestry also has some family trees you may want to check.

Ancestry has Canada census records, religious records (Catholic and Protestant), and a good variety of other records that should give information.

Hope this helps a little.

There is also a Missisquoi Historical Society, and a Brome Historical Society, both of which have been very helpful to me. You may want to check the Missisquoi Historical Society and see what might be available. In my dealings with them, they have been very helpful with personal contact or visits.
