I am looking for information about Donald Gordon who supposedly arrived in Pictou Harbor on August 1st 1803 with his wife Janet MacLean and their son Alexander who was born the day of their arrival. They later settled in Elgin and my records say that he was byrrued in the Elgin cemetary in 1827. I am trying to confirm that Donald and Janet's son Alexander married Margaret Campbell and that they had seven children Donald, William, Janet, John, Eliza, Isabella, and Simon Hugh. My confusion results from the fact that William, my great, great, great grandfather, lists his mother as Margaret Scott and that other records show Isabella as Annie Belle. Thanks to helpful researchers, I recently spoke with Edwin Gordon in Pugwash who provided my with information...much of it coincides but some does not. Are there any Elgin residents on line who might help me by checking references, records. Note that Alexander later moved to Rockey. I also think the name of the ship that Donald came on was the Commerce. I hate to record inaccurate info so this is very important to me. Many thanks for any help.

Hi folks, I've been asked to let you know about a new Nova Scotia List for Seafarers. People who followed the sea are probably the hardest to track down as their wandering ways seemed to preclude much written documentation. They may have been missed in census taking, maybe didn't own land, etc... unless they were the ship's builder or captain. Hopefully there will be tips and techniques for locating information..... >From the new list owner, David E. Cann....... "Nova Scotia is one of the Maritime Provinces with a long and glorious seafaring tradition. The topic of our list and board is the genealogy of Nova Scotia as it relates to the people who followed the sea, their families, and the ships they sailed on."
