No problem I will just change it I wasn't sure anyway. So I guess I will need a marriage certificate for William Sabiston and Helen Linklater instead plus John Sabiston and Margaret Creelman.
Thanks for straightning that out for me.

Hi my name is Shirley McMullen and my grandfather is Peter Elmer Sabiston.  My mother, (Mary Viola Mae Sabiston) was his oldest Daughter.  The picture you have in your display shocked me, I couldn't believe I was looking at him on the internet.  I assume the other two in the picture are his father, and grandfather; my great grandfather and great great grandfather.  My grampa (Peter Sabiston) lived with us for almost 10 years prior to his death.  Write me back and we can talk. I have been looking for information about John McDonald and his Wife Mary (Buck) McDonald (nee Flett) for years.  Do you have information or pictures?  I am so excited to have a chance to find more about my family.  My mom, passed December 27, 2005 and  my mom's sister Verna, passed in March'06. There are still  6 siblings living along with a half brother and half sister. There were 8 children by Peter Sabiston with Ingabord Natalia Olson, and then he had two more children with another woman, and one other child with Kathleen Barnett. Interesting to find out who you are as we are related.

Hello cousin Shirley and welcome to Roots Chat. The picture you are looking at is as it says; John Sabiston, James Sabiston and Peter Elmer Sabiston.
That is your grandfather, great grandfather and great-great grandfather.
I have not been able to locate any pictures of John McDonald and Mary (Buck) McDonald but I have managed to locate a picture possibly of George Flett and Charlette Tourangeau although it is not of very good condition. I am waiting for verification as to whether it is them.
Your sister Gail and brother Tom have copies of John and Margaret and James and Mary's pictures.
If you need more information just email me at the home email.

I was just browsing for some Sabiston info and came across your query of a few years ago. I just signed on to the trial subscription of this to try it out and provide you with some info that may be of assistance. There was a James McKay Sabiston born in 1836 (don't have the info with me right now but it was in the 1830's) who left Orkney for Canada.

Let me know if this is of any help.

Hi rsabca

Welcome to Rootschat........

I don't have a James McKay Sabiston as a direct relative in my family tree however they say all Sabistons from Orkney are related. He is probably a cousin to my line.

Are you a Sabiston descendant??

Yes. James came to Canada with the Hudson's Bay. Managed a trade post in Savona (near Kamloops). Then, it seems, went to Nanaimo BC. Still a few lost links between generations.
