Hi Bob, I will quote your whole message for completeness, but only want to comment on the last part, the appearance of the name "Johannes Schmidt" in a volume of the Nova Scotia Historical Society. There is a "1" in each of the columns, Males above 16 and Females above 16 for a Total of 2. The list appears in what seems to be a rather complete census of Halifax, dated July, 1752: A list of the families of English, Swiss, etc., which have been settled in Nova Scotia since the year 1749, and who now are settlers in the places hereafter mentioned. It is interesting that this Johannes Schmidt is not living with the "Swiss and Germans in the North Suburbs".

I should qualify (correct!) one thing I said below: the list of heads of families is not restricted to Halifax -- that is my mistake. I do not know which "Block House" is being referred to. I am also not positive about "Isthmus" but *guess* that it probably refers to what is meant even now by 'isthmus' in Nova Scotia, namely the Isthmus of Chignecto. Not at all sure about any of this -- anyone?
