Ancestry now has "Border Crossings: From Canada to U.S., 1895-1956" available. It's linked from their main page, or you can reach it directly at: http://content.ancestry.com/iexec/?htx=List&dbid=1075&offerid=0%3a7858%3a0 or shortened if that breaks: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2wsgbj An excerpt of their description: "This database contains an index of aliens and citizens crossing into the U.S. from Canada via various ports of entry along the U.S.-Canadian border between 1895 and 1956." It looks like it's land or river crossings, and doesn't include seaports, and runs from Saint John, NB to Montana.

Confirmed thru NS records now available on-line. My great-grandfather was Alex Simon Gillis, born in Antigonish, NS in 1865. He married Flora MacDonald (daughter of Anna Boyd & Lewis MacDonald of Antigonish)& their first child, Mary, was born in Stellarton (Albion Mines) in 1896. Their 3rd child was named Martha - my grandmother, named for her Aunt Martha Gillis. My mother, Emily, was named for an aunt whose version of that name was Emma. It was always "said" that Alex's mother was Irish and all the references I can find in the Census info and the various on-line BMD records all indicate that Mary Gillis (above) was Mary McHeffey (possibly McKeffey or other variation in spelling)born in Ireland. The birth record for one of their children, information supplied by the father, Simon, states that Simon & Mary were married in Sydney in 1958 - have not seen any confirmation of that as yet. So, can anyone burst my bubble? I'll post this to Pictou & Antigonish sites as well. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

Chronicle Herald May 1, 2007 CHISHOLM, Margaret I. "Peggy" - 84, 53 Fatima St., Antigonish, passed away peacefully surrounded by her loving family, April 29, 2007, in St. Martha's Hospital, Antigonish. Born August 22, 1922, in Lennox, Antigonish Co., Peggy was a daughter of the late Daniel R. and Mary Harriet (MacDougall) MacGillivray. As a young woman, she worked in Montreal for Northern Electric Co., and as a nurse's aide in several Montreal hospitals. In 1950, Peggy returned home to Antigonish where she married Rod C. Chisholm in 1951. Over the next 32 years, her husband's career took their growing family to Falmouth, Hants Co., and Port Hawkesbury. A mother to nine children, Peggy was a full-time homemaker, a vocation at which she had no equal. She and Rod retired to Antigonish in 1983. Always active in the community, Peggy enjoyed bowling, curling, dancing and especially cards. She enjoyed nothing better than a game of 45s at the Arisaig Hall. Peggy treasured her summers at the cottage in Doctor's Brook, Antigonish, Co., with her sisters nearby and children and grandchildren dropping by. Surviving are her husband of almost 56 years, Rod, and daughters, Linda (late John) Ross, Arisaig; Bonnie (Jim) Picard, Cloverville; Marian (David) Smith, Oakville, Ont.; Margie, Bedford; Cathy (Randy Crawley), Sydney; Donna (David) MacNeil, Upper Tantallon; Mary (Bernie) Matlock, Tantallon; Nancy (Bruce) MacDonald, Timberlea; son, Rod, Port Hawkesbury; brother, Aubrey, Chino, Calif.; sisters, Catherine (late Howard) MacDougall, Halifax; Theresa (John B.) MacDonald, Doctor's Brook. A wonderful grandmother, Peggy is also survived by the 17 grandchildren who brought her so much joy in her later years, Janet, Jamie and Sean Ross; Marc, Margaret, Daniel and Therese Picard; David, Andrew and Susan Smith; Mary Frances and Duncan MacNeil; Jennifer and Roddie Matlock; Ellen, Mary Catherine and Christine MacDonald. Besides her parents, she was predeceased by her sister, Mary Jane; brothers, Lawrence, Alexander, Donald, John, George, Raymond and three siblings in infancy. Visitation 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. today and 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday in MacIsaac Funeral Home, 61 Pleasant St., Antigonish. Mass of Christian Burial 2 p.m. Wednesday in St. Ninian's Cathedral, Rev.

Mary, Thanks for this. As I said I didn't want to be the victim of wishful thinking. If this is the family of Arthur and Mary then they moved back and forth between Massachusetts and Tracadie quite a bit. Thanks you, again.

Hi Lloyd, Arthur Nicholas PETITPAS and Mary Victoire BENOIT is exactly who I thought this family might be. I recently found Mary Victoire's birth record online at <novascotiagenealogy.com>. She is the daughter of Simon BENOIT and Susanne DADEAU. Arthur Nicholas died in Dedham, MA in Oct of 1905. Then I find the family in Tracadie in 1911: 1911 / Nova Scotia / Antigonish / 17 Tracadie / page 4 13 31 Petipas Mary F Head W Nov 1870 40 14 31 Petipas Julia F Daughter S Jul 1890 20 15 31 Petipas Walter M Son S Nov 1891 19 16 31 Petipas Mary F Daughter S Aug 1892 18 17 31 Petipas Margaret F Daughter S Jan 1895 15 18 31 Petipas Wilfred M Son S Nov 1897 13 19 31 Petipas Charlott F Daughter S Feb 1899 12 20 31 Petipas Elizabeth F Daughter S Jun 1901 9 21 31 Petipas Marion F Daughter S Dec 1904 6 22 31 Petipas Henry M Son S Jan 1906 5 Which means son Henry was born after his dad's death?
