That sounds like info from Jeff Stevens. He was nice enough to send it to me, and it was informative and interesting to read. Thanks for thinking about us.

I was just going through some of my old e-mail correspondence and found that name mentioned by another researcher. I pass this info on in case it may be helpful. I quote: "My wife's ancestors, Fatkins came from Scotland to Nova Scotia. Then they were going to emigrate from Nova Scotia to western Maryland because of the coal mines that were opening up. The ship left Nova Scotia for R.I. but hit some rocks near Martha's Vineyards and sunk. Her ancestor grandmother and two of the children died. He gr-gr-gr grandfather hung to his fathers back and both survived. He went back to Nova Scotia, after some time he remarried and he made a second attempt to western Maryland which was successful" I was trying to figure out where my own ancestors arrived in North America when I had this interesting exchange of e-mails with another researcher. ____________________________________________________________________________ ________ Get the Yahoo! toolbar and be alerted to new email wherever you're surfing. http://new.toolbar.yahoo.com/toolbar/features/mail/index.php ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MDALLEGA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
