I think I will have to get it on interinstitutional loan from Ottawa maybe. You don't suppose contacting the Archdiocese of Antigonish might get me anywhere? Anne(Veronique?) must have been buried somewhere around there(Havre Boucher, Tracadie). I think I might try to contact the area churches and see how far back their records go and if they might be able to point me in a direction. I was able to get info much more easily in PEI than in Nova Scotia. I may also check out any probate or land records to see if indeed the land was Elie-David's or what have you. You wouldn't happen to know if there is any such thing as a lot map similiar to what they have for PEI(Meecham's atlas etc.) This might also shed some light onto where exactly they lived. Gotta go and stop bombarding you. Thanks a bunch!
