We spent 2 1/2 days at the Research Center in Pictou. There is a wealth of information there. They are very helpful there and anxious to help you. As you know the Fraser name is like the Smith name any other place. Hector Centre Archives is the name of the research center. They have a website but I don't know what it is at the moment.
