      <description>Bill's on the road with his main squeeze ;) His site is not operational as he does not have the time just now. Hopefully, he will have it up and running again in the future. In the meantime, give it a visit, to download what items are available.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I will not be mounting an Upper site with downloadable data bases, or links, or anything other than a cursory review to encourage other Upper researchers to contact me for a more indepth study of our past. I will leave that to someone else. It is something that I do not encourage. It is too much work to just scatter it to the wind. I hope you will understand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact me...Kindest regards, Al</description>

      <description>Hi,&lt;br&gt;I was trying to see if I could find anything on the Upper family on the web and I came across your message.&lt;br&gt;Although the dates and locations are somewhat different I think I may have the information you are looking for.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I believe the O. Upper you are looking for may have been my great grandfather Osborn Upper. He was born in 1870 in Ontario and married a Jane Anne Walker (although my records indicate she was born in 1874 in Joplin, Missouri). They were married in Bemiji, Minnesota in 1892. They had two sons - Oscar Walker Upper born Jun 21, 1912 in Leask, Saskatchewan, Canada &amp;amp; George Osborn Upper born Jan 12, 1917 at Leask, Saskatchewan, Canada.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;George was my grandfather.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope this may be of some use.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <title>Upper Family Cemetery, Allanburg, Welland Co. Ont. Can.</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/40/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I've posted tombstone pictures of the Upper Family (Private ) Cemetery, Allanburg, Welland Co. Ontario. to my site. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&amp;lt;&lt;a href="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clemens/&amp;gt" target="_blank"&gt;http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~clemens/&amp;gt&lt;/a&gt;;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;(I aplogogize for the poor condition of some of the pictures but I hadn't planned to be cemetery hunting and definitley was not dressed for Ontario's cold Oct! Lots of shivering)&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;So far I haven't been able to connect my Upper family with any of these families, but my  GGGrandmother was Ememline 'Emma' Mosier and there are a couple of Mosiers buried here so I'm hoping to find that connection.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;My line so far:&lt;br&gt;Father: John Walter Upper Clemens b. Nov 18, 1928.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Grandmother: Marcella McGillis Upper b. abt 1905. (I'm waiting for her birth registration papers) She married Walter Clemens.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;G.Grandfather: Charles Mosier Upper b. May 2 1873, Thorold Twp. Welland Co. He m. Mary Ann Mc Gillis.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;G.G. Grandfather: Joseph Upper. He married Emeline Mosier. In son Charles' birth registration he is listed as a carpenter from Allanburg.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Karen &lt;br&gt;N.S.</description>

      <description>Tim: a long time coming but I have not done anything on the Uppers in a long time.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I am sorry to say that I have not researched any lines off the main Upper surname. That has been tedious enough. I am also involved in about 20 other surname searches up and down the matriarchical and patriarchical lines on both sides of my family. Even though Upper is a direct link it is also fairly easy to do as it is the only Upper in Canada that started out in the Niagara Region of Ontario, Canada; following the trip out of Northern New Jersey.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Stangely enough, dear George Upper of Allanburg, Ontario has just this past few weeks passed away. He was the direct nephew of Anthony and he still lived in the Old Stone House in Allanburg following his brother's death some years ago. His nephew, Robert, late of Thorold, thankfully bought the house from the estate and now lives there--since Dec. of 2001.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact me at &lt;a href="mailto://b1caez01@cogeco.ca"&gt;b1caez01@cogeco.ca&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <description>Hi Al. I am wondering if in your records you have information about a missing fragment of my Wright family of Stamford, Ontario. George Hutt Wright Jnr. married Melissa Jane Upper, daughter of Andrew Upper and Mary Lampman, and had a family of mostly daughters. This family is said to have settled in New York State, and Melissa is thought to have died in Gowanda about 1910. I have checked the Verne Simons notes at the St.Catharines Public Library, but this branch of the Upper family is incomplete. Also, their youngest daughter, Carrie Alberta Wright married a distant cousin, Charles Oscar Upper of Buffalo and is said to have had two or three children. My own information about these Upper families is incomplete, but what information I have I would willingly share with other Upper researchers. Thanks, Tim L. P.S. On another side of my family I am a direct descendent of Elizabeth Upper, daughter of George and Anna of Beaverdams.</description>

      <title>Uppers</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/4.6/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>The Uppers first came into Canada in 1788 and&lt;br&gt;spread out from the Allanburg, Thorold area.&lt;br&gt;Any and all Uppers after that time may be from&lt;br&gt;a different line. There were some that went&lt;br&gt;south into the States but they are not neces-&lt;br&gt;sarily connected. It is thought that the name&lt;br&gt;Upper was derived from Opfer. The Opfers came&lt;br&gt;out of the Palantine region of Germany in the&lt;br&gt;mid 1700's and in 1767 came to the Americas.</description>

      <description>Get together with your neighbour and put &lt;br&gt;together a letter. Send it to me personally.&lt;br&gt;Include all the information you have...&lt;br&gt;Include the name of the person, which was&lt;br&gt;left out of your message.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I would like his name, the name of his wife,&lt;br&gt;each of their vitals, their respective &lt;br&gt;siblings and their vitals, their children,&lt;br&gt;etc.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To prove association, I need this data to&lt;br&gt;match mine, then I shall clear it with &lt;br&gt;another family member to see if issuing info&lt;br&gt;is o.k.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Much of it is held in confidence for privacy &lt;br&gt;and security reasons. There is too much &lt;br&gt;gathering of information, serupticiously, and&lt;br&gt;then "sold" to other sources. We must be very&lt;br&gt;careful--unfortunately.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;This is an old family, and much time and &lt;br&gt;money has been spent making sure the facts&lt;br&gt;are correct.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I hope you will understand.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Al Dempster</description>

      <title>All Uppers from Niagara Region--Incomplete</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/12/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Along with Robert Upper of Thorold, I am the &lt;br&gt;only other known repository of Upper info.&lt;br&gt;available. If there are any others, I would&lt;br&gt;like to have you contact me. The St. Cath. and&lt;br&gt;Thorold libraries have data, but it is either&lt;br&gt;out of date or very incomplete.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;As much time, effort and expense has been put&lt;br&gt;into this data, it would be very helpful if&lt;br&gt;a trading arrangement could be made rather&lt;br&gt;than just handing over information. Unfortunately,&lt;br&gt;sources will not be exchanged becasue they are&lt;br&gt;not all in my hands and I do not have permissionto share them.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;You must be able to prove a direct kinship to&lt;br&gt;avail yourself of this service.</description>

      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/16/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>William Upper of Rhode Island and myslef are&lt;br&gt;the only two authoritative "Upper" information&lt;br&gt;sites on the Web, at this time and to the &lt;br&gt;best of our knowledge. Bill, also deals in &lt;br&gt;Opfers, a derivation of one of the many&lt;br&gt;origninal naming formats.</description>

      <title>Uppers</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/16.19.20/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Firstly, I would very much like to have a &lt;br&gt;copy of the GEDCOM for your line only and any&lt;br&gt;other Upper material you may have to add to&lt;br&gt;our general data base. I am still transcribing&lt;br&gt;many pages of data along with numerous other&lt;br&gt;family lines. A GEDCOM would assist me greatly&lt;br&gt;in loading data quickly.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;The Uppers came out of the Palatine region of &lt;br&gt;in the late 1760's following many years of&lt;br&gt;very unpleasant living conditions, illness and&lt;br&gt;deaths in the family and war. They were given the chance&lt;br&gt;to go to Russia, but chose North America.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;They set out for Philadelphia [1767], on the Minerva&lt;br&gt;from Rotterdam, to Cowes-England, and then &lt;br&gt;ended up in the north-east of New Jersey, in&lt;br&gt;what was called the Angle. This was a juncture&lt;br&gt;of the Pappacotting River and the Delaware. The&lt;br&gt;Upper name is a misnomer, it is now believed &lt;br&gt;that it was Opfer. And George's name was Johannes&lt;br&gt;Jerj Opfer--an educated man who could read and &lt;br&gt;write--not many could. He arrived with his wife&lt;br&gt;Elwyn Simons, son John and daughter Catherine.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Any rellie that contributes a significant portion&lt;br&gt;of their Upper history via GEDCOM will get a&lt;br&gt;full copy of the whole family tree of Uppers&lt;br&gt;only, at some point in the near future--meaning &lt;br&gt;as soon as I can get the dang thing finished.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Al &lt;a href="mailto://Dempster...b1caez01@home.com"&gt;Dempster...b1caez01@home.com&lt;/a&gt;</description>

      <title>Upper Correction</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/16.19.20.23.24/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>Verne Simons was Elwyn Simons' father...&lt;br&gt;unless Elwyn does indeed have a brother by&lt;br&gt;that name. I do not know, he has never told&lt;br&gt;me such. I do not know who you think you were&lt;br&gt;talking to, but, your source is wrong. Maybe &lt;br&gt;you should check with "him" again.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;George had two wives, and until I get your bona&lt;br&gt;fides cleared that is as much of a hint that&lt;br&gt;I shall release.&lt;br&gt;</description>

      <description>Elwyn paid to have much of his father's work&lt;br&gt;substantiated. Robert Upper of Thorold has done &lt;br&gt;much work as has Bill Upper of Rhode Island.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Elwyn's dad started things back in the 1950's but&lt;br&gt;due to ill health could not continue. Elwyn has&lt;br&gt;taken up his dad's work.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;To get your facts straight, you will need the&lt;br&gt;three of us to concur with whatever you think&lt;br&gt;you may have to contribute...and we would be&lt;br&gt;happy to share our efforts accordingly.</description>

      <description>As I am still in the process of transcribing&lt;br&gt;a lot of data from notes, if you could send&lt;br&gt;me a GEDCOM of what you have on the Uppers&lt;br&gt;it would be of great help and save me a lot&lt;br&gt;of work. As to your missing fragment, I am&lt;br&gt;sure it will be here somewhere.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Contact me off list privately at &lt;a href="mailto://b1caez01@home.com"&gt;b1caez01@home.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;to discuss this further. I am a bit rushed for&lt;br&gt;time right now.</description>

      <description>I am inquiring about this matter in behalf of my neighbor, whose paternal grandfather was an Upper, from the Niagara region, probably Thorold. Any information on this man, or his family. Year of birth would probably be in the 1870's or 1880's.

      <title>UPPER surname</title>
      <link>http://boards.ancestry.co.uk/surnames.upper/1.2/mb.ashx</link>
      <description>I am also researching UPPERs. I find most of them so far in Ontario, Canada - in the counties of Welland, Haldimand  Wellington back to the mid-1700's. Many of them migrated to the Niagara County/Lockport, NY area. I find a lot of UPPERs listed in the phone books for these areas. I seem to be the only one doing any family research, however. So far my own family list is small. See my tree at: &lt;a href="http://hometown.aol.com/CaptBilly/Index.htm" target="_blank"&gt;http://hometown.aol.com/CaptBilly/Index.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;Good luck,&lt;br&gt;Bill</description>
