Looking for Gaspe MCKENZIE information/contacts/researchers. This family was Roman Catholic from Scotland. Any connection to Archibald McKenzie of PEI? My gt gt grandfather William Henry McKENZIE b. 15 Oct 1858 Gaspe d. 14 Jan 1935 Marne, Ottawa, Michigan, bd. Greenwood Cemetery, Grand Rapids, Kent, Michigan; md Ellen SHEA 8 Mar 1886 in Toronto. Issue: 2-4 died young (Ellen, William Jr and ?), Mary Ann, John Joseph, Rose A. and Catherine Maude survived. These 4 children were moved to the Grand Rapids, Michigan area after their mother died in Toronto in 1901. William\'s brother, Thomas McKENZIE b. c1857 Gaspe md Mary SHEA 20 Jul 1892 in St. Michael\'s, Toronto. These are the sons of NEIL McKENZIE b. c1816? Scotland and ELLEN HOLLAND of Douglastown, Gaspe. Neil McKENZIE md 1st Mary McKENNA, issue: Patrick and Ellen. Neil md 2nd Ellen Holland, issue: Mary, Thomas, William (and possibly Amelia?, Alexander?). Also, found a brief clip from Deal, 7 Apr 1825: The MARY sailed from St. incents, on the 4th October last, and after reaching Magdeleine river about 100 miles on this side of Gaspe, compelled by ice and stress of weather to put back to Gaspe on the 17th November where she wintered and whence she sailed on the 6th instant. Mr. McKenzie, a passenger, was drowned about the 22nd November while crossing the ice in the basin after sunset. His body was not found. Does anyone have any info on this Mr. McKenzie? The McKenzie\'s I\'m looking for were in Gaspe South. Drowning would have been 22 Nov 1824. This wasn\'t Neil, possibly a brother? father? Any and all info/ideas welcome. Thank you! Merci! P.S. A HUGE thank you to the Pattersons! Neil and Ellen were a brick wall for my mother for years until I ran across your site!!!
