The Y chromosome study has led to an unexpected correlation.  Living in Niagara Falls, there is a Paul Eustace EY66 who is 2 markers different than ours.  Then there are a set of four individuals with closely similar profiles, Peter Eustace (Thunder Bay ON), Alan Eustace (ON), Charles Declan (Louth Ireland) and Noel Eustace (New Brunswick) who are different on 3 markers.  Noting the similarities Marilyn Clark, sister of Alan and cousin of Peter, decided to explore where we all fit together.  Marilyn, who lives in Ottawa, offered some startling information on the subjects of our ancestors.
 
 " I had some luck with Dan's family. Hopefully some of this information will be new to you.
 
Your GGrandfather John Eustace was born about 1835 in Ireland, haven't tracked down where.  He married Philomene Rendewer who was from Quebec, born about 1845.. I don't have their wedding info but it must have been about 1862 or so.  Her parents' names were:
Father: Francis Rendewer (or Round) which is likely where your grandfather's name came from
Mother:Margaretta Nean.
 
They had 3 children that I found:
 
1. John b 1864, St. John, N.B. He married on Dec. 25, 1885 in Hamilton, an orphan named Jenny Tweedle. He was 21 and an ironworker. Jenny was from Stony Creek.
 
2. Robert, born in St. Mary's, QC. about 1870.  He married September 15, 1902 in York Co., which is part of Toronto.  He married Joanne Daly from England. They were both 32 at the time.
 
3. Francis who was born August 2, 1876 in Hamilton.
 
Francis's father, John, died June 19, 1879 in Hamilton as the result of an accident, he was a labourer.
Death certificate is # 015350.
 
His wife Philomon remarried in 1881, Michael Cahill, from Ireland.The date is 23 Oct. 1881.
 
Meanwhile, Maud's family immigrated to Canada from Ireland in 1883-84 (I've seen both dates on census information). It may
be her father James Thornton came first (June 22, 1881) aboard ship "Canadian" (see attached from Toronto immigration office) and then sent for his family.
 
Her mother was Delia Roberts.  She remarried after James died (date unknown so far). Her second husband was David Vint.
They had a daughter Mary in 1885.  Maud or Merrit is listed as a member of Church of England and was a domestic in 1901 before she married Frank.
