I am responding to a message from 2000 posted by Linda Allan, looking for my grandfather, Segbert Allen of Attleboro Falls, MA. I realize this is rather a long shot - the post is so old. I'd also be interested in finding any relative of his family. He was born in River John in 1883. He was one of 8 children, the others are Wilbur Allen, Robert Allen, James Allen, Warren Allen, Amos Allen, Grace Allen & Nettie Allen.

Dear List, Does anyone on the list remember the family of Joseph and Maggie Cheverie who lived on Haliburton Road, Pictou RR? Maggie died in 1950, aged 77, and Joseph died sometime after that. They are buried in Haliburton Cemetery. They were originally from P.E.I., and had at least the following children: Wilfred, James Laurie, Mary, Lena, and Margaret, all born between 1895 and 1910 (according to the 1911 census). If any of the children are still in the area, or whereabouts known, I would very much like to try to make contact with them. Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, George Sanborn Charlottetown

Kim, My guess would be that there is some connection as that is where a great deal of my family is from. If you ever come across the name Swantee in your searching, think of me.

Hi Kathy, I believe that the Mac/McLeods that ran the funeral home were the following EDGAR, ELWOOD, DEWITT MCLEOD of River John. My John James MacLeod married an Evelyn Dunn in 1892, he was born in 1870.

I am trying to trace the family of the brother of my great great grandfather who emigrated to Canada in about 1900. I have found that a Joseph Holloway from Whitchurch in Buckinghamshire (where the family lived) was buried in Abercrombie Cemetry, Pictou county in 1932 and his wife was called Nellie Godfrey. Please could anybody give my any further information about the family as it would be good to get in touch. I will actually be in Belleville Ontario on holiday for the next 2 weeks staying with Anne and Richard Barber at Blackberry Farm RR5. Many thanks Susan Holloway

Haliburton Cemetery is on Highway 6, The Sunrise Trail just outside of Pictou. If you were coming along the sunrise Trail (along the Northumberland Straight), just before coming to the round-about into Pictou, on the left side is the cemetery. If you were coming to Pictou from across the causeway or from the PEI ferry, you would access it again from the round-about as you exit Pictou onto the Sunrise Cemetery. It is right alongside a river. Charlotte -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George F.

Hi folks, I've added a link on the "Family Pages" page on the Pictou GenWeb to Rik Clark's web page "Magdalen Islands & Nova Scotia Ancestors" The web page includes plenty more surnames than those in the email title and also has a research document containing TURNBULL & CASSIDY - families of East River and McLellans Brook, Pictou Co. , with descendants on the Magdalen Islands, Bay of Chaleur and the Miramichi. You can go directly to the web site by clicking here http://caledonia.tribalpages.com/ Good luck with your web site Rik! Rick MacNeil
