I have a copy of the book "The Black Robes Vision". I have looked up the name of William Cust. The name is mentioned several times in the book but does not have a lot of family history. I also have the book "The Wheels of Time", a history of Riviere Qui Barre, that does have family history on William Cust as well as other Cust's. If you want me to fax any of this information to you, please respond to me directly and I will do it later tonight.

Hi, There is a lady in Australia who is writing a book about the Cust family of Ireland, the final manuscript for which has to be sent to the printer by early October. One branch of that family settled in the Riviere Qui Barre district. While I was in Alberta this summer I had a chance to look at the book "The Black Robes Vision" (a history of St. Albert & surrounding areas) for the first time. It has an article concerning William Cust (d. 1908) that contains additional information that I do not have, but would like to be able to provide to the lady in Australia for her book. Unfortunately, I "found" this book just as the Archives were closing and it was the last day of my vacation, so I was unable to make a copy. If there is anyone out there who either has a copy of this book or has access to a copy and would be kind enough to fax me a copy of the pages pertaining to William Cust, I would be willing to return the favour with a look-up in the numerous Nova Scotian sources that I have at my disposal. Please contact me if you are interested. Thanks. Sincerely, D.
