Hello! Annie Schubert/Shubert is my paternal grandmothers sister. I am starting a family tree but wondering if you have any tips for the research part. I'm at a complete standstill on the MacDonald side. My father's name was Everett Bruce MacDonald. He always spoke fondly of Wendell (one of his favorite cousins) and I'm guessing my father was named after your grandfather.

There was one more sister of Everret - Annie Amon Mackey. She married James (Jimmie) Mackey. He was a prisoner-of-war in Korea for a time. He drowned in the Churchill River. Their children :
Marianne Mackey ?, now deceased
Beatrice Gayle Mackey Paxman, now deceased
James Mackey
Steven  Mackey
Wendall and Blanche (Smith) Amon had 15 children, now all deceased. I am a granddaughter and would be pleased to reply to any inquiries.

Winnifred Amon and Harold McNeill had a second son, Gary.
Mildred Amon (Dodie) married George Burden. She was his second wife.She had no children, but had 2 stepchildren: Audrey (now Fillmore) and Dr. Arnold.
Beth Carthell Amon married Alfred Bell and lived in Dartmouth. They had 2 daughters: Bettianne Bell Colpitts and Barbara Bell Savary.

email to Rick MacNeil rick.macneil@sympatico.ca good hunting, please share with his answer to you.  cheers patricia

Thanks to all who have replied....and so many are relatives...

Also, there was another sister, Beth Carthell Bell.

There are two siblings of Everett missing, as far as I know. Carr, who died in infancy, and Mildred (Dodie). I'm Pete's granddaughter.

Everett Carr Amon was my grandfather.His son Wendell Everett Amon was my father . my sons are named Matthew Douglas Amon and Kristopher Carr Amon. My name is Timothy Douglas Amon.

I found some more info in the Moss Diaries

I was able to find some information for you.

http://automatedgenealogy.com
under the 1901 and 1911 Canadian census, many of the Amon's are listed and also where they were living. There were too many to list here.

www.collectionscanada.gc.ca
Soldiers of the First World War
has three Amon's listed that are probably all brothers, Alexander, John and William. Don't get confused by the birth dates, many people could barely read or write and many of the birth dates are incorrect.

www.novascotiagenealogy.com/

has numerous birth, marriage and deaths listed that you can actually look at the original documents on line. It will give you parents, places and dates.

Good luck
Val

Researching genealogy relating to the Amon family of Springhill NS.

EC Amon was stationed in the UK before departing for France and lost his lift in Belgium 5/10/1944.

Any information gladly received....would visit but Salisbury UK, to Springhill Canada is quite a trek!
