Indeed it will help. It gives me other references to check where I might find things. Its always been a mystery, since I can trace a GGFather back to Gloucester, where he had a residence, but yet it was after the time the names of Bond Hill and Bond Street existed. As the local historical information goes, the names came from early settlers in the 1700's. That was before the GGFather days. But his father, who's origin is unknown, may have sailed up from Gloucester to Chester Nova Scotia, Canada.. and explain why there are no passenger lists anywhere for the names that I have, coming anywhere near Nova Scotia... Appreciate your help.. and everyone's input, in the WebList.. It would be helpful, if more people making posts, used full addresses though, rather than saying, they have a Bond from Yarmouth, without explaining which State, Country, or area in General, that they are referring to. I understand the Bond List goes much further than the USofA.. I don't know all the areas of the US, and my map doesn't have those little towns that get mentioned. I don't even know which coast to look on, or if the information might be useful. Of course, your information was very clear. I have driven to Boston, Gloucester, Salem and all along the little fishing villages along the East Coast to get more info. Thanks again..
