Some of my wife's relatives are Nickersons from Cape Cod so we have a few common ancestors. Prior to the Revolution her people went to Nova Scotia as did my Bears people and then they went to PEI. My grandfather Albert Bears came back to the states about 1890. As for my wife's family reunion, it was due to her aunt's 90th birthday. We had our share of lobster, clams and mackeral. The weather was cold and overcast but it did not keep the grand kids out of the water at Good Harbor in Gloucester. As of the accomadations, we had the good fortune to use a friend's condo in Danversport. Plan to go back in Oct for my 45th high school reunion and try to find information on Curtis in Duxbury, MA and King in Bangor ME. Bill Harding
