Jerry, I have the transcript of Scotsburn, NS. I am afraid a fair distance from Mount Thom. There are about 14 Mccullochs buried ther , but I see no Mary Frasers. There is a website called Pictou Roots which list many cemeteries and people (google it) My Logan family lived on the west river, and oddly enough, bought their land from a Mr. McCullouch, who wanted to give up his grant, May be just coincidence. The site Book called "History of the County of Pictou has an account of a Mr McCullough or McCullough who apparently was quite a prominent man. Also ther is a site called Hector Center in Pictou which has a lot of info.

I recently noted your name on a website by Donald MacDonald-Ross, guess there is a remote connection between us. Glad to know you have found baptisms for Roderick and Barbara (MacKay) Mackenzie's children. I had a few dates for their daughter, Mary Anne's family, but none for Roderick and Barbara, so would be very pleased to hear from you when it is convenient. Could not make contact through the e-mail on the rootsweb, but trust this will arrive in your box. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.

When your grandfather came to RI in the timeframe you gave, there were already settled here a large French-Acadian Madelinot population in Centredale (North Providence), RI, of which I am a descendant. I have no doubt that several of the people in my families who lived here and travelled back to the Islands to visit family, spread the word concerning jobs down here. My grandfather, the first of a soon-to-be-large contingent of Islanders, arrived in Smithfield in 1908, then settled in North Providence by 1909, all this via Fall River, MA. He and my grandmother were the "magnet" couple which drew an additional 25-30 other Islands couples here. By the time I was born in the 1950s, the second generation had produced some 75 descendants of these couples, followed by a larger number in my generation, all of whom I knew personally, and which thus sparked my interest in tracing their genealogies. I also know of a Leslie family from Cap-aux-Meules/ Grindstone who lived in nearly Smithfield (Georgiaville). He worked for HP Hood and Sons (dairy). So why the Mc/MacLeans would emigrate here too is no surprise to me. By the way, I am the American authority on the Magdalen Islands families. My concentration is basically on the French (Acadian, Québecois, Miquelonnais) families, but I know a lot about the English and Scottish ones as well. I am also a friend of Rik Clark's. So between him and me, if you have an Magdalen Islands question, we both know a great deal about the Islands' families. I am also very active with the American-French Genealogical Society in Woonsocket, presently co-editor of their journal Je Me Souviens. Much of my published work can be found in their holdings. So now you may perhaps know why they came to Rhode Island. At that time, the manufacturing cities of the Boston vicinity and Southern New England were a big draw for those struggling with the impoverished conditions of that time in Canada. Other than fishing and farming, they came here as everyone else did... to create a better and more secure life for themselve and their families. Hope this post helped somewhat.

Hi listers I've been reading your entries on this site & have looked up the Kirkwood name on www.novascotiagenealogy.com. There are a couple which are of interest, but I'm unable to view the records as they state on the front page even though I have downloaded their viewpoint.
