Hi Bonnie, If you are close to Toronto you can go to the Reference Library at Yonge and Bloor, 4th floor, or to the North York Library at "Loud Mouth" Mel Lastman Square in North York. Both have the 1871 Nova Scotia census, where you can look up Ohio, Antigonish County and hopefully find the folks you are looking for. If you aren't close to Toronto, your local library can order the census reels for Antigonish or any other county from the National Archives. I don't believe there is any cost to you for this. Both libraries have a number of books related to each county, so there can be additional information in them for you.
