Hello Bev Guy, I am going thru some old emails and came across yours that I had saved. You had mentioned that you would willing to write a short, simple description religious mind-set of these new settlers with a view to encouraging in put from other viewers, hopefully including passed down family lore,to describe the settlers huge and abiding faith in the church according to the time period. It might prove to be quite controversial! If this offer still stands I would be very interested and happy to add it to my web site with your name associated to the article.

I too have been researching my ancestors for over twenty years, both paternal and maternal. They settled in Newfoundland, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and some later in P.E.I. The Ross patriarchs originated in the Isle of Skye, Scotland, emigrating in 1828 to Cape Breton (paternal) plus their spouses ie Tupper (Mayflower 3rd generation planters to N.S. in 1760) and Scotland, England and Ireland (maternal) emigrating directly from the UK (1827) or were mostly UELs from New England to Kings Co., New Brunswick in 1783. My interest in your website does not include a category which I think is extremely important to much of our early ancestral emigration ie religion and the importance of building a church as soon as possible after food and shelter were at least basically looked after. I would be willing to write a short, simple description of the religious mind-set of these new settlers with a view to encouraging input from other viewers, hopefully including passed down family lore, to describe the settlers huge and abiding faith in the church according to the time period. It might prove to be quite controversial! Cheers, Bev Guy Beverly H "You can have everything.
