Hi folks, I am forwarding this to the list for Linda who is not a subscriber. If anyone can help her, please contact her at "mailto:lindajess@iname.com". Good luck on your hunch Linda, there are lots of McKays in Pictou County! Rick MacNeil I am looking for information on my Great Grandfather. His name was Thomas Berkley Mckay. We had been looking for over two years in the Nfld area. However with recent information we believe that he came form the Pictou area. Maybe River John. We have his birth date from the Halifax census of 1901. He was born April 29 1842. We located him in Fortune Nfld in 1846-65 Dir. There was also a A.J. Mckay in the same area so we feel that he may be a brother but we have no proof of this as yet. We have found out that A.J. stand for Alexander James. Could you be of any help in locating information on this individual. We spent all day yesterday in Halifax searching church records with no success as yet. Could you give names of specific churches in that area at that time in which we could look. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Linda McKay Jess
