To all who like listening to Scottish music -- while working at the computer. Bryan Keddy decided to add some Scottish tunes to his internet radio station called "Sail On Nova Scotia" -- he was so impressed after listening to Scotland The Brave by John McDermott, he went to the library and collected all he could find. Result: Seven hours of a playlist called "Dreams of Scotland" http://www3.ns.sympatico.ca/bryanfkeddy/SONS.html There should be something for everyone's listening pleasure -- one has to subscribe at NO COST, download a small listening program. The site is self-explanatory, but if not, contact Bryan at bryanfkeddy@ns.sympatico.ca Sail On Nova Scotia is a program in honour of the 250th anniversary of the landing of ancestors of many at Lunenburg in 1753. Periodically there are announcements, but the music tells the story:- Hymns -- the restoration of St. John's Anglican Church "I'm My Own Grandpa" -- reminds all about our hopes of 1911 census. Hope everyone enjoys our music from Down Home! Muriel M. Davidson muriel_davidson@sympatico.ca http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.

Hi A fanastic source of information a census. However not wishing to be a "croaker" is there no locational information in it, how can I realistiically find a Fraser family - when names like Alexander, John, Simon and Hugh are as numerous as Canadians celebrating the recent Ice Hockey Team's Gold medal (most deserved)? Another question, the "Township of Pictou" does that include outlying areas or just the town itself - there seems to be plenty of farmers in it? Maybe there is a map showing the census areas somewhere?
