To all:- Many of us know of several events taking place in the year 2003:- "Gathering of the Descendants" from 1753 -- mine arrived on the Murdoch. Bryan Keddy has a special radio program, "Sail On Nova Scotia" with Down Home music and many favorites. 2003 is supposed to be the year our 1911 Canadian census records are released to the National Archives for us to peruse -- have you checked http://www.globalgenealogy.com/Census We need Senate and also House of Commons Petitions NOW!!! 2003 will possibly be the year viewers will have a peek at Winston Churchill's famed wartime bunker -- closed since 1945. 2003 could see St. John's Anglican Church rebuilt again -- all records were saved and are safe. [The congregation gave its approval!] To help many become acquainted with the Down Home music -- Bryan Keddy now has added "Nova Scotia Kitchen Party" -- have you ever been to a Ceilidh???? Basically, it means good music and all homegrown! The Rankins were on Nov. 24th -- others will be announced. http://www.novascotiakitchenparty.com To add to this Down Home feeling, how about my homepage -- liked by many for census, references, links, etc. -- Enjoy it at http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ Do not forget to visit the lighthouses, Scotty, the Canada/United States tribute and :Genetically Inherited Diseases -- prepared for Expert Panel. Do not forget to click on the Canadian flag logo -- things happen! Nova Scotia Census Online are also there!!! More are needed! Muriel M.
