I have a CdV by "Queens Photo Company", Jubilee Buildings, Dumfries, NB. On the front is written "Queen's Studio, Dumfries, NB". When did we stop using NB?

Rene, Perhaps the NB stands for New Brunswick. There is a Scots settlement in Carleton County, New Brunswick, Canada named Dumfries ( after their original home ) ---Valerie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene Anderson" <rene_anderson@onetel.com> To: <DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 5:22 AM Subject: Re: [D-G LIST] Re: Dumfries photographers > I have a CdV by "Queens Photo Company", Jubilee Buildings, Dumfries, NB.

Rene, I'm not 100% sure now that Dumfries, NB is in Carleton County. I've been second guessing myself since I hit the SEND button :o) I've been trying to find out for sure but now have to leave for work. Maybe another NBer on the list would know for sure :o) ---Valerie ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rene Anderson" <rene_anderson@onetel.com> To: <DUMFRIES-GALLOWAY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 03, 2004 5:22 AM Subject: Re: [D-G LIST] Re: Dumfries photographers > I have a CdV by "Queens Photo Company", Jubilee Buildings, Dumfries, NB.
