Just sent your request to my daughter's father-in-law and his sister who are doing genealogy on the Gillis/Gillies family and they live in Cape Breton so maybe a connection or maybe they can put you in touch with someone. I believe there is a genealogy site in Cape Breton but not sure what it is. Perhaps someone could advise you about it. C.
