U.S.-Canadian Border Crossing Records on Ancestry

[SarahND]

=D> Welcome Natalie! Great to have some more information on this family. So Gertrude was Mary's daughter by her first husband-- I wondered about that and am glad to have it confirmed. Any ideas when and where Sarah Murray died? I tried to find her death when I was in St Paul and they had no record of it. It's one of those record offices where you can't search yourself, but have to watch while they search... and don't find. Very frustrating! It is a bit early for existing records in that neck of the woods.

A friend recently found a record at FamilySearch for a Sarah Sculhon who died April 3, 1891 in St. Paul and we think that is her. Silly me - I forgot to try to obtain the death certificate. I will request it through the historical society and see if they can come up with it. Daniel remarried in 1893.

WOW - I think I might have found a death record for Sarah and a birth for an unnamed female child which could be the Sarah who may have been adopted by the McCarthy's. No images to go along with the information though.

Will do, if you can wait until March!
Always glad of an excuse to go check things out...

Oh nice! =D> I did not have Sarah Scullon McCarthy's actual marriage - only a reference to the name of her husband. Thank you!!!!!

We've waited this long, Sarah...March is good. Many thanks!

Thank goodness for familysearch giving us the heads-up!
