My grandparents were both from Nova Scotia. I was wondering if you have any connections. My grandmother was Margaret Chisholm, from Antigonish, Nova Scotia. She was born July 20, 1897 to Janet MacDonald and I do not know her father's name. She had two younger brothers, Sam and Alec. Her father died when she was four (about 1901). They were Catholic. My grandfather was Colin Francis MacPherson, from Springfield, Nova Scotia (Antigonish County). He was born June 4, 1885 to John (Ban) MacPherson and Catherine (Katie) MacFarlane (b. abt. 1823). They had a total of 13 children, some of his siblings were: Angus (b. Feb 1, 1896), James (b. abt. 1898), Minnie, Anne, and Daniel. John and Catherine were married in 1877 in St. Andrews Catholic Church. John MacPherson's parents were Donald and Flora. Catherine's parents were Patrick (b. abt 1779 - Glenfinnan, Moidart, Inverness, Scotland, m. abt. 1806 - South River, Antigonish, Nova Scotia, Canada; d. June 10, 1866 - St. Andrews, Antigonish, Nova Scotia)and Catherine (Murphy) (b. 1785 - Scotland, d. October 17. 1848 - St. Andrews, Antigonish, Nova Scotia). They were also Catholic. I have quite a bit more on the MacFarlane line, nothing more on any other lines. I would appreciate any help you can offer. Other surnames I am researching: Wilcox, Norgaard, MacDonnell, MacLeod The following are Jewish: Shindell/Shindel, Herman, Gammerman/Hammerman, Nudelman, Miller, Mailer, Mann, Levy, Leib, and Kesselman,.
