My connnection to it is that my mother was a Blades, d/o John Lester Blades, a direct descendant of Henry Blades/Adams. Mike Blades is my first cousin, son of my mother's brother, Walter and he is a professor of Chemistry at UBC and I have his e-mail as blades@chem.ubc.ca, but he is only available from Sept to Apr at this address. The rest of the time he is travelling, writing papers and so forth. I am not aware that he has a personal e-mail address. It has been a bit since I was in contact with him. While I have you here, I do have a question and that is - is there any proof that the Adams family were part or full Micmac natives?? If so, I would like to prove it and if not, well, it was worth a try. My mother did have a bit of the original land grant at Pubnico, but do not know what happened to it.
