    1. [NS-L] Atlantic Canada Site
    2. 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]
