Hi Wayne, Sorry, I haven't heard of this book, and I have most of them relating to Pictou County. If it's any help, I have the book "Place-Names and Places of Nova Scotia", with entries on Avondale, Hants County, and Avondale Station in Pictou County. Each has a short description of the community history including who the founding families are. If you would like me to email you one of these, please let me know which community. Cheers, Rick MacNeil Wayne & Vivian Mellish wrote: > I am looking for a book, " Avondale and Its People (Least They be Forgotten) by H.G. Cameron.

Daughters of Simon and Anne (Murray) Mckenzie of Waterside, Caribou. Both graduated from Dalhousie Medical School in the late 1890's to early 1900's.

Smith from Pictou County. Does anyone know how they are connected to father and son Pictou doctors, George McKenzie and John J. McKenzie? Dr. John J. McKenzie married Charlotte Kayenbergh who was the matron of the Cottage Hospital in Pictou. >From 'Pictou County's History", by James M. Cameron, "became known as the Cottage Hospital, with a VON nurse sent from Montreal in charge, Miss Delaney. She was followed by two more from the same source, the Misses Dunn and Schwartz, until the appointment of a Pictou nurse, Miss Lottie Kayenburg". Some how Jemima McKenzie and Charlotte Kayenbergh knew each other because among Charlotte's photos was a copy of Jemima' s graduation photo signed. You can find pictures of Jemima, Mary and Rev. A.A. Smith on this site. http://www.rootsweb.com/~nspictou/photo.gal.15.htm
