Does anyone have obits from 2004 Needed is, Freda Jones, died Nov. 12, 2004 John Jones, died Oct. 10, 2004
Bill: Do a search on John McKenzie and put in the year 1910 in the specific year box. You should find Book 14, page 114 # 680. Right place and right cemetery. Now do the same only use 1953 And use John William MacKenizie. It'll take you to Book 1953 # 1652. Neat little typed note on the death certificate. Hope this helps
Hi Elaine: A blind pig was an establishment that illegally provided alcoholic beverages. The difference between a speakeasy and a blind pig was that a speakeasy was usually a higher class establishment, where a blind pig was a lower class dive.

Aside from reading of far too many deaths of infants born prematurely or of diarrhea, etc. in the new database, this gruesome entry caught my eye. I guess everything old is new again when it comes to crime in Halifax. One of these days I'm going to go read newspapers of that time to see if the murderer was caught.

David: If one exists, you should be able to find the file (record) in the county Probate Court. In the alternate, you could order microfilm records of the county probate records for the county and years of interest from your local Family History Center (the one sponsored by the Mormon Church), www.familysearch.org .

Hi Bill, No picture I'm afraid but while I was looking in one of our recently released reproductions on CD, "Nova Scotia's part in the Great War" our product #0204, I found the following snippet from the chapter about the 112th Battalion: "In the early days of the Unit each county was allowed to keep a detachment, providing it numbered fifty men or more, who trained in their own locality until finally mobilized in Windsor in May, 1916. There the Battalion encamped on the hill of Fort Edward, where it was subjected to a rigorous training, and the progress made elicited much praised from Major-General Sir Sam Hughes, then Minister of Militia, who inspected the Unit about the beginning of July, 1916." Then I saw John's reply and realized that the response to your question is probably going to depend on the period you are interested in. John's earlier reply says his picture is titled "Middleton," which is a good way from Windsor, so the answer to your question may not be as simple as you'd think. And that's assuming you ARE talking about the mobilization period of the Great War. Malcolm Archive CD Books Canada Inc. President: Malcolm Moody PO Box 11 Manotick Ontario, K4M 1A2 Canada.

My 2G-grandfather, Granville Bevil Reed, died intestate on 29 Mar 1881 in Port George, Annapolis Co. The administration was granted to his son William A.

The picture shows many young men in civilian clothes in front of the train with my Dad in uniform holding a flag. I don't know any of the men. The caption on the back says; 112th Battallion leaving Middleton by DAR 1916. Gladly send a copy if its any good to you.
