If you go to the NS Historical Statistics and look up Charles Ewart Tanner, you will notice at top of his birth certificate which was done for pension purposes, it says thet a copy was sent tc/oB of NS in Manzanville,Cuba.

Hi All; Looking for information on Christy Cameron, she was a twin of Hugh James Cameron. They were born 1875-76?? in Watervale Pictou County, N.S She is in the 1891 census after that I can 'nt find any other record. They were children of James William Cameron and Annie MacGillivary. Information I am looking for marriage, children, when she died and where buried. Thanks Shirley(Cameron)Forbes

Did you have a relative who was a bank manager in Cuba by any chance? My parents had good friends who lived in Cuba at the time of the Cuban Revolution. His name was Charlie Tanner and he grew up in Westville with my mother. They had two sons. One son was quite a famous artist who studied at McGill University and went back to Cuba. He eventually immigrated to maybe Montreal. The other son is also somewhere in Canada. I don't even know if the sons are living or not.

Hello - I am new to this list. My main interest is the Tanner name in Nova Scotia, most of whom descended out of Lunenburg County. There were a number of Tanner lines/families that touched down in Pictou County over the years. At least one line was out of Rhode Island, at least two lines came from Ireland, one came out of Ontario, and at least one came through Lunenburg. My details on most of these Pictou related Tanner lines are sketchy. Is there anyone out there who can help me straighten out or fill out some of these Tanner familiers, and/or be willing to trade info. Thanks in advance. Regards, Dave Tanner

The following was received from my son-iin-law's family. Their name is Gillis from the Sydney area. Hello Charlotte: I'm always interested in searching and researching!!! Anyway, I received the note re June Gillis. June is not a common name among the Gillis people. However, I did find something which might lead somewhere!! A Patrick Gillis, son of Stephen and Jessie Cash, who had settled in Whitney Pier, Sydney, NS. married Eileen Connolly. They, too, settled in Whitney Pier, Sydney, NS. They actually had 12 children, 7 boys and 5 girls, one of whom was June. June married Don Cashen and settled in PEI. They had two children, Lynn Marie and Tom. John Gillis b 1828, and Ann(Nancy) MacDonald of East Bay settled in Sydney Forks. John's son, Stephen b. 1861 married Jessie Cash of Big Pond. Stephen and Jessie's son, Patrick, married Eileen Connolly and they settled in Whitney Pier. Patrick and Eileen had 12 children, one of whom was June. June married Don Cashen and settled in PEI. June and Don had two children, Lynn Marie and Tom. If we are on the right track, I have found more info on this family. Waiting to hear if this helps the inquirer!!
