Family historians visiting the Yarmouth area will enjoy a visit to the Argyle Township Court House and Archives [ATCHA] in Tusket and could even benefit from collections to be found there (e.g. church records on microfilm for the Yarmouth area). Meanwhile, you can visit the web site in advance: http://www.argylecourthouse.com/ Treasures listed on the web site include "manuscripts (unpublished genealogies)" which are listed alphabetically and easy to find. For example, there are 10 for CANN and any number for POTHIER (my grandmother's line). Tusket is only a short drive from Yarmouth. See the maps linked to ATCHA's web site. Best wishes to everyone planning a trip to southwestern Nova Scotia in the near future. I wish I could go again!
