Hello Barbara - What Dunns do you descend from? My great aunt - grandmother's sister, married William Dunn from Clementsvale. I believe they had two children - the one I knew best was Maurice Dunn. He married my half sister Marion, and they had a number of children. There were other Dunn families in Bear River - Frank Dunn lived not too far from home. I grew up on the "flat" at the head of the tide. I talked to someone a long time ago about the Dunn family in Bear River - it may have been you. As for Rices - there were so many in Bear River it would be hard to straighten all the families out. I suspect Marion McCormick and her sister Alice Darres had most of them listed. I think their work is now in the Kentville museum.
