Hello I have note that a Mary Maria (nee) BARNES was in the 1871 Head of St Mary's Bay Census, indicating that she was either 78 or 88. (Probably an age that is hard to read.) Mary Maria was *POSSIBLY* born to Nathaniel BARNES Jr=Jerusha BLACKMAR. Not 100% certain of these parents. Mary Maria was married to William Joseph GILLILAND 23 April 1808. (WJG = 1774-1814 - died Digby) Mary Maria was married to Francis Frank ARMSTRONG 29 April 1819 (FFA = Digby person) We are thinking that Mary Maria survived both husbands and moved from Digby to Head of St Mary's Bay. ************************ Does anyone have access to this 1871 census? And/or tell me where to go to see if it is online? If not, it looks like a trip to FHC for me. Can anyone connect the dots or indicate if this Mary Maria was same person in above situations? Or different person, as the case may be? Hoping that age in 1871 can be determined as well. *********************** Thank you Richard Hardwick (Researching direct lines in Nova Scotia and New England - HARDWICK, ARMSTRONG, BARTEAUX, SPURR, HENDERSON, BLACKMAR, MARSH) RiHardwick@comcast.net

It comes from a native word meaning "Shining River." (http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/cap/places/page.asp?ID=621) Its use may be most famous in the Records of the US Congress, when Cyrus Eaton was before a congressional committee, speaking on behalf of his oil company interests. A U.S. Senator asked him quite sardonically "Where is Pugwash?" (Eaton was born at Pugwash NS.) "Why Senator," replied Eaton, "everyone knows Pugwash is exactly halfway between Shininicas and Tatamagouche!" The Americans were left scratching their heads!

To all:- More pages are being transcribed, but only by a few -- let's get the three provinces finished! SASKATCHEWAN ........................................98.92% [Pages in Saltcoats and in Saskatoon] If helping with Prince Albert, DO NOT CLAIM PAGE, unless you plan to include address. Judy van der Veen is doing the pages, Garth Ulrich is matching street and non-existent surnames due to INK. ALBERTA...........................................................97.41% BRITISH COLUMBIA.........................................87.38%. I know it states one can claim pages after one or two lines -- there are many claimed pages with only 5 or 10 -- these have to be opened so someone else may finish the page. CLAIM AT LINE 50 Should others not transcribing know family names, send URL (at top) plus province, district, page and line -- I do not mind dropping the occasional RED dot and correction. Muriel M.

Looking for ancestors of Benjamin Burges(s) born c.1786. He names first born James and Anna. Went to NB by 1819, where he helped build ships for probable brother James who was also a farmer still in Nova Scotia. Likely was connected to shipbuilding family of McCumber and did married Lydia McCumber at St Martins. He later was a farmer and lumber jack. I have posted previously, hoping new Burgess data has appeared. Sanford, Scott, Brown families may be associated earlier. Dan

Thursday, May 14, 1942...The Halifax Chronicle, Halifax, N.S. Page 12 PROVOST MASCOT ACCIDENT VICTIM "LADDIE" A REAL PAL AND THE SOLDIER'S FRIEND 1942" That's the way the inscription reads on a block of polished brown granite from Aberdeen Scotland, which stands today in a spot on the north slope of Citadel Hill. The brown granite block rests on another of grey granite from a Purcell's Cove quarry. Nearby is the barracks of No.16 Provost Corps, where the members mourn the loss of their mascot, "the best canine comrade a bunch of fellows ever had." Laddie was owned by Lieut. James Moon of the Provost Corps, but he had been adopted individually by everyone of the men in the unit. The granite block is their memorial to their pal. Tuesday evening Laddie was a frisking frolicking two-year-old dog, full of the joy of living, rejoicing in the comradship of his friends. He had gone out on Cogswell street and was standing near the sidewalk. A moment later he was dead, stricken by a speeding taxicab. In Magistrate Flinn's court yeasterday, when the driver of the taxi, pleaded guilty to a charge of reckless driving, Lieut. Moon told the circumstances of Laddie's death. >From his experience as a former member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, Lieut. Moon declared that the driver was going at "considerable more than 40 miles an hour, the dog was killed instantly," he said, "and the driver continued on without stopping to see what he had done." Corpl. R. MacNaughton of the Provost Corps gave chase on a motorcycle. He caught up to the taxi driver when he stopped about half mile from the scene to examine a headlight broken when his car struck the dog. When the taxi driver saw Corpl. MacNaughton approaching he again took off, but the latter over took him and forced him against the curb. Laddie was a German police dog - but no Nazi he!. "He was a great dog." Lieut. Moon told a reporter.... Two years ago when i was a member of the Mounties, i brought him home from Plymouth, Pictou county, a ball of fluff in a shoebox, on the luggage carrier of my motorcycle. "Laddie would have been two years old next month." Lieut. Moon continued. " He was a one-man dog, like so many of his breed, but he was the firm friend of any man in uniform. We've got a great bunch of fellows in the Provost Corps." Perhaps Laddie was a good judge of human nature. In court yesterday, Magistrate Flinn fined the taxi driver $23 and costs on the reckless driving charge, with the option of spending a month in City Prison - but that was small consolation to the sorrowing members of No.16 Provost Corps. ==

Here's another question regarding FTM 16. Has anyone been able to adapt it to Windows Vista? I have been very happily working with FTM 9 for years, but decided to finally upgrade because of the many new features.. Bad timing on my part. I should have waited at least one more version for the compatibility with Vista. So...I am now working with it on my older computer that has XP. Anyone had any luck with such a move ?
