Hello, Prof. Gates offered a previous series of "genealogy shows" a year or 2 ago, and I watched the whole series. It was -very- good. It wasn't just about the important people he was doing up a family-tree for; it showed "how" he did the research. There's another genealogy-type show coming up in March, but before 5 am I can't remember what it is. Don't forget you can find out about the shows at PBS on their web site: http://www.pbs.org/wnet/facesofamerica/ This is the series I watched a year or 2 ago: http://www.pbs.org/aboutpbs/news/20050713_africanamericanlives.html http://www.pbs.org/wnet/aalives/dna/ And, in some of the "History Detective" shows, genealogy is discussed. Are the PBS shows shown in Canada?

A few weeks back there was a bit of traffic on this site regarding the Aircraft Detection Corps. I had an opportunity to a to talk with a couple of men who were engaged in this service and have learned a bit. The Aircraft Detection Corps was active during WWII. It was made up of civilians with an Air Force Officer at its head. There were many observers with a coordinator in each district. Observers had direct access to a communications centre. In those days of multi-party telephone lines, an observer had the authority to clear the phone lines of callers. One local observer's call sign was 'Hilltop 170'. Each observer had field glasses and a collection of flash cards, each with profiles of various aircraft. It appears that they also learned to identify aircraft by sound. It seems that although all aircraft were noted, not all were reported. Air traffic in the area of Windsor, Nova Scotia was, for the most part, East and West with the fighter trainers from Stanley Flying School exempted. My contact told me that on one occasion he spotted two strange aircraft flying low from the South West to the North East He identified them and immediately notified the Communications Centre. It appear he rather enjoyed ordering some gossips off the party line. Within a few minutes he was talking to an Air Force Officer who grilled him on his sighting. Turns out they were two American planes from an air station in Maine; apparently sent out to test the system. They flew the length of the Province and were reported by two observers; one near Yarmouth and my contact near Windsor. At the end of World War Two, the Aircraft Detection Corps was dismantled. however, within a few year in the early days of the Cold War, another system named the Ground Observer Corps was established. This time each observer was given little book (blue or black) that showed the profile of planes. I don't know how long this unit lasted, although I can remember seeing a copy of the book, sometime in the early 1950s. John John D. Wilson Windsor, NS

Hello. My questions are How should I go about finding a loyalist land petition from 1783 in Nova Scotia? And how would I know if the petition was granted or not? If a petition was filed in Nova Scotia, could land have been given in Upper Canada? The reason I ask is on Ancestry.ca there is a book entitled LOYALISTS AND LAND SETTLEMENT IN NOVA SCOTIA / A LIST COMPILED BY MARION GILROY. In Appendix A, there is an example of two petitions from loyalists in 1783 (I think living in New York) to show "that even in 1783 the Loyalists themselves differed as to character and temper." John George GRAVES and Adam GRAVES are two of the men filing the second petition demanding land. They both received land by crown patent in Upper Canada in 1797, but there is not a copy of their petition for the land in the Upper Canada petitions in Toronto. It's probably a long shot, but I hope this petition is the reason they got their land in Upper Canada and there's some way to prove that. Jill in Alberta

Hello, I was looking through the archives of the List this morning to see if anyone else had an interest in David and Sarah MacDONALD of Nine Mile River. * And I came across an old posting of mine from 9 years ago. It offered the names of the families who took in some of the "Home Children" in 1874. I thought I would repost it in case it would help someone: http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/nova-scotia/2001-01/0980513950 If I'm remembering correctly, the 5 CORKILL children and 4 LEWIS children all went to different families in different towns, and possibly in different counties. My great-grandfather, "Stanley" LEWIS, was an only child, so the 3 LEWIS girls on the ship with him were probably not related. The older of the girls married; I've never found additional information on the younger girls, who went to MASON and JACKSON families (and possibly a 2nd unknown family). My great-grandmother, Mary CORKILL, actually arrived in 1875 and went to one family than I think she went to live with the MacDONALD family. ("Stanley" and Mary married in Truro in 1879.) Stanley worked at the "Colchester Sun" as a teen, and I wonder if their marriage announcement would have been mentioned. Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) * There is a researcher in Canada who has been on this List for probably over 10 years. She was one of the children who lived with David and Sarah MacDONALD. She has some information on them, and she is the one who provided me with "old photos" of my great-grandparents about 9 years ago.
