Hi Mike – my post yesterday stated that Pré Rhonde meant Round Meadow…and that Pierre Thibodeau had settled in Chipoudy which today is Hopewell, N.B. Now I realize that you were talking of an earlier settlement in Nova Scotia that is known today as Round Hill. However, it came to be called that amazes me because a Pré is still a meadow <smile>… Of course, some of the English names given places in the Maritimes have nothing to do with what the name was originally and many places were simply renamed by the English who governed the area. Sorry if I caused any confusion for listers.
