Karen I found some information here http://www.gov.ns.ca/NATR/library/histmaps.htm. There is a link to the Crown Lands Records for more information and if you have names and info for the specific people for whom you search and follow the link eventually, hopefully, you will get an email back from someone who will send you more exact information on the land's location. Then for a fee you can get copies of the actual grants... at least that worked for me... good luck faye ---- Karen <[email protected]> wrote: > can anyone tell me if there is online info for land grants in Nova Scotia? > Thanks in advance. > Karen > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Faye" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, October 16, 2008 12:31 PM > Subject: Re: [CAN-USA-MIG] Land Grant Question: Those who migrated to Canada > during the War > > > > Mine appear to have headed to Nova Scotia in the 1770s more or less..
