US Lookup Requests / Burns of New Orleans Louisiana

I have identified John Burns in the 1895 census as a blacksmith at Freret St and Toledano. Does anyone know of any later census available on line?

Canada / Re: Maxwells of Nova Scotia

Hi Ambly,
RHA Maxwell was the father of William who was my father. The granddaughter who lived to 101 was my fathers first born, and was raised by his father and mother RHA Maxwell and Mary Ann Fryer.
What you have written s all the details i have been able to uncover. I presume RHAs father may have been called William as RHA has followed the Scots tradition of naming his children.
many thanks

Europe / Re: Sweden...without swedish!
« on: Saturday 25 January 14 06:51 GMT (UK)  »
Hi, I have done a lot of swedish research and do you realise that if your father was Johan Larsson then that means he is the son of Lars something or other. Such as  he could be the son of Lars Hakaanson and Lars could be the son of Hakaan Eriksson. So it goes on.
If you have a  name and date you will probably be best to write to the Swedish Archives at Landsarkivet at Vadstina. Also the household examination rolls give dates of birth and dates of death and when moved from parish and date of  emigration and to where. You soon learn to read them. Good luck

Canada / William Maxwell
« on: Saturday 25 January 14 06:36 GMT (UK)  »
Told by my father in 1945 that his grandfather ? William emigrated from Scotland to Nova Scotia. His son Robert born New York 1850 so presume William entered Canada via NY. Robert emigrated to Australia and my father to New Zealand. So seeking any William  born Scotland died Canada. Would like contact with any of their descendants.

Hi Guys,
 Am trying to find the death of the above. She married Melville Royce SHERWOOD in NZ in 1940 and when it failed I was told by a cousin in 1980s that she returned to Australia. Which part did not know. Not sure if she remarried. Had daughter Anita who married SAUNDERS. Anita had daughter Jodie who put query on cousins connect 2007. Not been able to trace Jodi or Anita in NZ.
Any suggestions?
Great forum
