Oulton 250th Anniversary Family Reunion Registration Information
Written by Arthur Owen   
Friday, 24 April 2009

As posted previously an Oulton 250th Anniversary Family Reunion celebrating the separate arrival to the Chignecto Isthmus in 1759 of our common ancestors, Charles Oulton and Abigail Fillmore, will be held at the Port Elgin exhibition grounds in Port Elgin, New Brunswick this summer on the week-end of July 24th-26th. The attached files contain the program agenda and a registration form for the reunion.

While we are using the Internet and e-mail for distribution of this information, we have no means for electronic registration nor electronic payment of the registration fees. Please send the completed form and a cheque or postal money order to cover the fees for registration and optional meals to the address provided on the form. We request that our US or international cousins send the indicated amount in US dollars to cover the additional costs for cashing the cheque or money order. 

(Click on the files in your desired format and save to your own system.)

As in past reunions, family wall charts of the descendants of Charles Oulton and Abigail Fillmore will be displayed at the reunion. Unfortunately productions of these charts takes some time, since getting 16,000 descendants onto paper in a format which is both readable and able to fit on the available wall space is time consuming. So, please check your family in the Oulton family tree database at http://ourmaritimeties.com/tng/index.php . If there are any errors or omissions, please send the updates to Arthur Owen at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it before June 1st to ensure their inclusion on the charts at the reunion.

Howard Dixon, a descendant on the Daniel Tingley-Abigail Oulton line, has volunteered to act as a guide for a tour of some Albert County Cemeteries that are the final resting place of numerous descendants on this line. Because of the time required to make such a tour worthwhile and the distance of these cemeteries from Port Elgin, Howard has suggested that this tour occur before (Friday 24 July) or after (Monday 27 July) the reunion. If you are interested in participating in this tour, please contact Howard (via Arthur Owen at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it ) and provide him with your preference for date of the tour, which cemeteries are of interest to you and your Tingley-Oulton ancestry. Howard will use this information to determine the date and which cemeteries to include, and will notify you of the final itinerary.

We are still interested in hearing from cousins who would be willing to give a short talk (5-20 minutes) on one or more of their "interesting" ancestors on the Oulton line, the farther back the better. If your are willing to give such a talk, please contact Arthur Owen ( This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it or 613-731-5012).

We are also looking for volunteers to assist with registration during the Reunion. If you are willing to spend 1-2 hours helping out on Friday evening, Saturday or Sunday, please let Arthur Owen know at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it for passing on to the Registration Co-ordinator.

At past gatherings, cousins with RVs have parked on the Exhibition grounds. This option is available again this year, but note that there are limited facilities on the grounds. If you are interested in parking your RV there for the reunion, please contact Terry Oulton to make arrangements (send telephone number to Arthur Owen at This email address is being protected from spam bots, you need Javascript enabled to view it to pass on to Terry).

Our US cousins should be aware that effective 1 June 2009, implementation of the land and sea phase of the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative will change requirements for travel documents to enter or re-enter the United States.  Please see http://travel.state.gov/travel/cbpmc/cbpmc_2223.html for details. We certainly hope these requirements will not prevent anyone from attending, but we are sure you would also want to return home without problems at the border.

Please pass on this information to your other cousins in the Oulton family to ensure the widest distribution.

We look forward to seeing you at the Oulton 250th Anniversary Family Reunion.

PS. I not really doing this all by myself, I just didn't want the other people's e-mail and telephone number posted on the Internet.  Smile

ourmaritimeties.com is our new home on the Internet for our genealogical research and, hopefully, a place where our many cousins will explore and contribute so we all have a better understanding of our shared ancestors. We have chosen this name for our new genealogy website since many of our family lines, by 1800, were settled in what are now the Maritime Provinces of Canada (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island).

This site contains some of our generalogical research and can be accesed using the Family Trees entry of the Main Menu. For Annette, her research interest includes her ancestors as well as the many intermarriages in her Acadian ancestors with a focus on the Arsenault, LeBlanc, Terrio/Theriault and Vienneau families. For Arthur, his research interest include his ancestors as well as all descendants of five sets of ancestors, namely, Arthur Owen and Elizabeth Lee; Charles Oulton and Abigail Fillmore; Jesse Strang and Sarah Wright; Emil Bostrom and his three wives (Nellie Rosenquist, Augusta Elmquist, Matilda Blumgren); and Charles Welsh and Lois Bell.

The Photos entry on the Main Menu will take you to the online albums containing family photos as well as others photos of places or things relating to our extended family.

The Discussion Forums, also accessible from the Main Menu, are the place to ask questions, provide biographical information or place other notices that may be of interest to your cousins.

While we have seeded this site with our research which includes data provided by many cousins, we hope it will become your site and we look forward to your visits and contributions.

Again, welcome.

Annette and Arthur
