Rusty and Don, I too have James Gibbs and Ann (LNU) as my ancestors. Where did you get the birth date of 20 March 1768 for James? I guestimated his birth date as ~1764 based on the census of 1818 where it stated that he was 'age 54, living on island 15 years, Country of birth- west of England, with 5 children'. In searching just now, I found on the LDS IGI website Abraham and Christian Gibbs along with their 10 children and also some of the Stacey family. Is this where you found your info? Any help with the town or parish in England of James birth would be greatly appreciated.

Fred: Don't see any link in these, but if we can establish a link, my history does back to Robert "Deacon" Marshall, b: about 1741, Scotland. Then the Marshall's go to Nova Scotia (Pictou County). Other genealogy is with the RUSSELL's, back to 1663 Chirnside, Scotland, then to Pictou County, Nova Scotia. On the Southshore of Nova Scotia, it goes back to all the founding families of Lunenburg. When you get into the genealogy, let me know, hopefully we can come up with a link along the way. Have a few relatives from Newfoundland also.

I am Frederick Dittmar currently living in Norman, Oklahoma. I have been a list administrator since before Jan 2001 when I acquired the MAPLYMOU mail list for the Town of Plymouth, Mass., my hometown. Since then I have been given a total of 89 lists. I'm interested in the Canadian Maritime mail lists in that my Great Grand Parents came from England/Ireland through NF / NS / into Massachusetts in circa 1872. I have the following surnames which I will post again later and in more detail: CANNING - CARTER - COMMEAU - HEFFERMAN - MARSHALL. I've been through the archives and you look like a wonderful group.

I am interested in learning more about the family of Alexander MacAulay (1843 - 1918) and Mary MacDonald (c1845 - 1 July 1909). Alexander was the son of Donald MacAulay and Annie MacDonald and was born in Milton (later known as Broughton), Cape Breton. Both he and his wife died in Port Morien. They had several children, one of whom (Sarah Ann) was brought up by my gr gr grandfather's half brother, Roderick MacVicar, and his wife Margaret MacDonald. Margaret may have been Sarah Ann's aunt. Sarah Ann was born on 4 June 1879 and died on 25 March 1936. She was married to Daniel Norman MacDonald (1873-1946) and is buried with her husband and Roderick MacVicar and Margaret MacDonald in Greenwood Cemetery, Glace Bay. Bob McVicar
