I am researching the HATTIE family of Pictou Co. & Guysborough Co. I found that one of the HATTIE descendants ended up in Massachusetts. His name was Raymond Chase ELDREDGE born 1894. He was a WWI veteran with the US Army. I was wondering if somebody could please look up his WWI draft card on ancestry.com. Thanks. Bill White

Captain MacLean is the elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur MacLean, Fraser's Mountain, and with his bride the former Captain Mary Spaulding spent a few days a short time ago, visiting his parents while returning to Charlottetown from their Honeymoon trip. Mrs. MacLean is a talented musican and soloist. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Note* This is the end of the items I have to post for now.

Hello everyone , Since I have started different things and places in the day of my grandparents and great grandparents I have realized that a lot of this information is hard to find for our Atlantic Provinces. Not much is online and there is no one book that has it all. Therefore, I have decided this week to start compiling info from books, first hand accounts from relatives and some other resourses online and old postcards and compile them on a website for all to enjoy, My goal for this website would be to items on what live was lke in the early days up today convering things like: schools they went to, school life, school games played then to now, homesteads and what they did whether on a farm, fishing village,small town or a city. Other things thinking off is transportation changes, industry changes(farming,lumbering,fishing etc...), entertainment, How different holiday's were celebrated throughout the generations etc... I have been finding my research so far very interesting and was thinking others might as well. Now the big challenge will because I am so young I personally not aware of these things therefore a lot of research will need to be done and communication with others who may have some recollections on these things. I would first like to find out as much as I can about all the schools there back in Nova Scotia in the early days. What was the school names, where were they, what details are known about the school do any pictures exist for them? If anyone knows any information on any of the old schools for any part of Nova Scotia personally or from a book or a book I may be able to find some information on them as well. I do also like to start looking for information on all the old churches that were and are still in the province. Any info or guidance anyone can give me on these items would be greatly appreciated Bev _____________________________________ Bev Harrison [email protected]

Hi All, The complete transcription of the census for Digby County for 1861 is now available on my website, here: http://www.dwaynemeisner.com/censusnovascotia.php Click on "Digby" to see the menu choices of which census is available. The 1861 census covers all twelve polling districts of Digby County, which were, in 1861, Hillsburg, Head of St. Mary's Bay, Digby, Sandy Cove, Long Island, Westport, St. Mary's Bay, Weymouth, Belliveau Cove, Session House & Clare, Meteghan, and Salmon River. The 1861 census only lists heads of households, but I have also included the number of males and females in each household as well. If you are already a registered member of my site, you will be able to view the information immediately. New users will have to complete the free registration process. As always, please let me know if you spot any errors. I am sure there are a few... Feel free to check out the other areas of the map that I have completed earlier. Dwayne

Hi list. Does anyone know if you could go to the DRL in Lunenburg and look for records in person? The birth record I`m looking for ( in the 1830`s ) has never been microfilmed. Or if that is not the case, do they have a website or email address? Thanks in advance to anyone who replies, Jack ( Kelley/Messer/Dalton/Winnik/Winock ) Kelly

His death record gives his palce of birth as Whycocomagh, 17 August appears correct as that is the date of birth on the Certificate. His father is listed as James MacInnis. Unfortunately his mother's name is blank. Informant is his daughter Bernice Penny. Strange in that his marriage record does seem to be in the records. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, February 12, 2010 7:14 PM Subject: [NS-L] MacInnis family > I am looking for information on this family.... > > Archibald (Archie) Angus Mac Innis b.

The posts I put on the List took place during the war years so I would like to share two letters that were in "The News" in New Glasgow this week. They presented them as love letters leading up to Valentines Day. The letters were from Stan Dudka from this area to his wife from overseas. Quote from an earlier edition of "The News" :(Stanley Dudka served with distinction in the Second World War. He was wounded and captured in France and later decorated by King George VI. Dudka was also called as a witness in the war crimes trial of Kurt Meyer who was on trial for ordering the execution of Canadian prisoners.) LETTERS TO HOME Stan Dudka writes his wife, Alice, after he escapes captivity in the Second World War... Dear Mom and Alice, I hope this letter finds you in the very best of health. I am feeling great. I know you will be glad to hear from me as you probably think I am dead. I was taken prisoner by the Germans on the 7th of June. I escaped though and am now at Bill's unit with him... I had quite a chilling time escaping from the Germans. It wasn't very easy either but the good Lord was with me. The Germans treated us real bad, just like in a movie only twice as worse. However it's over with now but I will never forget them ba.t..ds for what they done to us. Tell Henry White's folks that he is a prisoner of war, he is quite well...I tried to escape three times but I got caught. I was away from them ten days but I couldn't get through the German lines. We are sure giving them hell now.. I was wounded a couple of times but all that is left of them is scars. I am completely better. We had an awful battle on D.Day and the day after. We had a real important job to do also. We suffered heavy though but we done our job. We met the S.S. troops. They are real ba.t..ds. The main thing though mom is that I made it and am safe and sound. I don't think the war will last much longer. I hope not anyway. Mom, I wish you could see the priest and have a mass offered for my safe return in thanks to God because without him I don't think I would ever have made it. He was with me all the time because I was in some very tight spots. Well mom I guess I will have to close for now with all my love to my dear wife and baby and Dad and you Dear Mom and the rest of the family. Your loving son Stan xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FROM THE FRONT Stan Dudka writes his wife, Alice, after returning from leave... My darling wife, I am in the middle of my leave now. I came back last night and I received about 50 letters, mostly all from you... I also received a cheque from you, thanks a lot dear. I will send it back as soon as I get my pay fixed up. The Germans took my pay book and now I have to wait to get all my pay but as soon as I do I will send it to you but thanks a lot darling. I am a lucky fellow to have a wife like you darling. Your letters were swell, every one of them. I've read every one over twice and I will read them again tonight. Some day when this war is over and I do come home I'm going to make up to you for all the time I've been away.It'll be hard to get rid of them. I understand how much you love me and baby Stan. I do also love you dear and baby Stan just as much. Keep up the good work darling and keep waiting for me with patience and I will love you twice as much when I do come home. I think I am going for a commission dear, don't build too much hopes on it because I have quite an examination to pass. I think I can though. I will work hard for it thought wont be my fault if I don't pass it. It takes a long time though. I am getting a little civilized again. I am losing my hate and longing to kill Germans. I received a letter yesterday from Mr.and Mrs. Massey, the High Commissioner of Canada in London, congratulating me for good and gallant service in the Front. I also received a photo of you and baby Stan. He sure is a fine looking son dear, isn't he. When I come home we will, like you say, have a daughter too. All my love to my dear wife&baby I love you,Your loving husband Stan Xxxxxxxxooo For you Xxxxxxxxooo For Baby xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Carolyn Wallace

Freshwater came from the name of the stream that once ran through that area where the Public Gardens are now and then down past Victoria Park... where the road is now. From there it ran down hill and emptied into the harbour- Freshwater Stream. Once the industries and many people came along, it was no longer freshwater but became very badly... and sadly polluted.

Freshwater is now the area known better as the public gardesn. It was once a heavily industrialized area, with the gas works and Montgomery's Nova Scotia iron Works foundry (ten ralway locomotives were built there).

An article in the above paper reads that the body of Michael Moriarty was found drowned in the water at the wharf beside the Gas Works, Freshwater, where he was employed as a night fireman. There was no reference as to who his family might be other than to say his family depended on him for support. The accident apparently happened on Saturday 4 Feb. There was also an article in the Halifax Sun and Advertiser on Monday 6 Feb referring to the same person. again no mention of family Would anybody out there have any idea who this Michael Moriarty was ??? or where the Gas Works, Freshwater was ?? Thanks Pat

Hi Sherry, I looked around as well, and I'm surprised that there is not a picture on the www.roma3rivers.com site, I wonder if it is still standing? In any case, back in 1997, we were in Souris, PEI for my brother-in-law's wedding and we detoured there and got some pictures (pre-digital camera). My close up of the plaque is not close up enough, part of it is in shadow, but as best as I can see it says: Roma at Three Rivers Here in 1732 Jean Pierre Roma founded a base for control of the Gulf Fisheries and for Trade with France (--?--) and the West Indies. His establishment was destroyed after the Fall of Louisbourg in 1745. There is a title at the top I can't read which may be in Latin, then the above is in French and then in English, with something small at the bottom, possibly a date?? I'm missing a word after France, probably a place, I can't make it out in the French section either, but I'm guessing maybe Quebec. I'll send you the photos separately.
