He was passionate about harness racing, hockey, and football. He was an avid Leafs and 49ers fan! He was proudly a "Boy Scout" and minor hockey coach for his son. He loved to cook and clean in the kitchen. He made the best biscuits and was the "BBQ King." We will remember his smile, how he enjoyed life, a good laugh, and socializing with his many friends. He loved his Port Hood home, the beach, and Cape Breton sunsets. But more than anything he dearly loved his two children, his buddy and his princess - they were his pride and joy. He will be dearly missed. On-line condolences may be made to www.invernessfuneralhome.com.

He was lured back to Cape Breton, by the love of his life. He decided to put down roots to encourage Edie to be his wife. He ventured into a partnership with his brothers-in-law and this was the beginning of a lifetime of success in having his own service station. He gradually bought his own station and then became owner/operator of Reid's Auto Service in Sydney Mines. He worked many long hours and he was dedicated to his customers. He made customers feel that he cared and he appreciated their business. He was involved in the community and was a member of the Bras d'Or Pensioners Club. Kelvin was an avid fisherman and he loved to be on the Margaree River. As the season changed to fall he would get ready for hunting season. His favourite part of hunting was tracking deer. Kelvin then embraced the snow for his favourite wintertime sport, snowmobiling with his friends. As the snow disappeared and spring began he started practising his golf swing. He loved the game of golf and would never turn down the opportunity to play. He had unconditional love for Mom and he treasured her. He loved his five children and he was a wonderful father and grandfather. He will truly be missed but never forgotten; always in our hearts forever.

Anne Louise was born on July 16, 1951, in Sydney, N.S., to Hilda and Hector MacDonald. She was the centre of her family, and a rock to her children, Amanda (Fred MacIntosh), Raie, Adrienne (Steve MacIsaac) and Andrew (Erin), who all love and cherish her.

Anne Louise married Alan Leith in 1973 and acquired the nickname Lou.

In 1988, she returned to Cape Breton with her family and reignited her passion for the island. Throughout her career, she was involved in promoting Cape Breton and particularly loved her work at Destination Cape Breton. Her dedication and commitment will be missed by friends and colleagues, particularly Caroline, Linda and Mary. A tremendous presence in the lives of all who knew her, Lou was the strength and the glue that bound her family. With grace and dedication beyond measure, Lou gave her children and her mother the gift of unwavering support and the freedom to be independent. Lou loved witty conversation, good books and great friends. She lived her life with rare passion and conviction, and had a wicked sense of humour that was admired by many but duplicated by none. She will be forever remembered, honoured and cherished by all who knew her, and especially by her children and grandchildren who will do their very best to keep her memory alive by reminding visitors that they don't have to go home, but they can't stay here. Visitation for Lou Leith will take place at the Pier Community Funeral Home on Wednesday, Oct. 2 from 2-4 and 7-9 p.m. A graveside service to celebrate Lou's life will be held at St. Andrew's Parish Cemetery, Boisdale, on Thursday, Oct. 3, 2013 at 11 a.m. A reception will follow at 2:30 p.m. at the family home in Sydney.

I am eager to obtain a copy of Lark Szick's book, 'Sparling, Musgraves and Other Related Loyalist Families'. Does anyone have a copy they would be willing to sell? (Or know where I can purchase one?) Also, if there are other books people could point me to, I would very much appreciate it.

Happy fall! Tis the season to start digging up my ancestors only this year I have thought of a new approach. Please have a look at the below and let me know if you have researched or have any further information. My new approach is both DNA and hiring a Scottish genealogist to look into my MacDonald heritage because I do not believe I can do it myself after over 10 years and most of my findings being through the help of you great folks. Ruaidh, Lochaber is not a place and could mean Roybridge or Ruadh Mor. Even those I speak to that live and do genealogy/geography history in Scotland can not give me a answer to this and be 100% as to where they may be from “Ruaidh, Lochaber”. I thought they were from Clan Ranald and I have the Keppoch cheif tellign me that they are of Keppoch.. this is another matter, not genealogy but it makes it all the more frustrating! So before I go on with consulting a genealogist or DNA I would like to know if anyone else has for this line? Below is the short version of my tree, the longer version unfortunately was destroyed in a computer crash. I do have more information printed on paper with further extensions of the copy below.
