Hello Pat, I don't know too much about them. Chirsty (Joesph's mother) had a brother James and a brother Alexander. I'm not sure if Christy was ever married. At least 5 of James and Mary MacMaster's children married in the Boston area (four of them in Gloucester, MASS.) so it makes sense that Joseph would go there too.

I am looking for info on a Joseph Peck brother to Laura Peck, Laura was born in 1877 married Thomas Clarkson Parent John and Mary peck Any help is greatly appreciated have a great day! Carolyn

Hi Vince, Yes, I think this is the family I'm looking for. Joseph's mother Christie is living with Joseph & Christie (McLeod) on the 1881 census and I have a birth date for Murdock as approximately 1887. An uncle who is researching the McLeod family has this note in his records for Joseph Sr.: "He was a "Fisherman" working out of Glouchester. Mother Christy living with them shown in 1881 census as 59 and 1891 census as 70." Unlike me, my uncle does not source his data so I have no idea where this came from. I would truly appreciate any information you wish to share and would gladly provide details of the McLeod side if you are interested. I know there is a picture of Christie and her mother Mary Ann Ross McLeod (my 2Xggm) in a museum on CB - I believe it is in Port Hastings. Thanks very much for your response - you've made a cloudy, thunderous and soon to be rainy Calgary a much brighter place!

Immaculate Conception Parish Cemetery, Main-a-Dieu. Is there any record of the people buried in the cemetery for about 1917? I am looking for a Lawrence Mullins who died in Glace Bay but was buried in Main a Dieu. I am looking for the name of his second wife Sarah (Scottish). Julie Cote

Anyone with connections to Joseph MacNEIL who married Christy MacLeod, daughter of Rory MacLEOD and Mary Ann ROSS before 1881? Christie was born at Big Intervale. I have been led to believe they met in Glouchester, MA and returned to Port Hastings at some point. I believe they had four children: Mary, John, Murdock, and Joseph. Christie, my ggaunt, later married Alexander Garland and she died in Port Hastings in 1956 at the age of 95. I have been unsuccessful locating a death for Joseph Sr. I also have been unsuccessul locating her marriage to Alexander. I'm also very curious about what happened to the four children - the only info I have is that Murdock may have had US military service. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Spanish Bay or Baie d’Espagnols was the bay of the ocean bordering the present day communities of Sydney Mines, Florence and L’Bras d’Or, and the harbour now known as Sydney. It extended from Alder point in Bras d’Or to Cranberry Point in Sydney Mines. Baie des Espagnols did not refer to the town of Sydney itself, since it did not at that time exist. Sydney Harbour was referred to as Spanish River or Bay because of the great number of Spanish fishing vessels to be found there in the summer. It was not until Cape Breton became an English colony and the capital chosen to be called after Lord Sydney that Spanish River became Sydney Harbour. The site of the capital, Sydney, was chosen to be in the protected land at the far end of Spanish Bay. It was not as effected by the harsh north-westerlies as was the entrance of the harbour where the mines were located. For a short time Sydney Harbour was called Prince Henry Sound. 1677-Coal was dug there as early as 1677 from surface mines. The Intendant of New France proclaimed a royalty of twenty sous a ton on all coal mined in CapeBreton at Lloyd’s Cove and Greener’s Beach (Indian Cove). 8 1724 1732----We know that Coal was shipped from Spanish Bay to Boston in 1724, to Martinique in 1732. The area also supplied coal to Louisbourg. 1751-“ At Baie d’Espagnols some Acadians had settled and had begun to clear the land. He (Pichon) says that there were beds of limestone and building stone on the banks of the river , and two coal pits. Pichon said that Labrasdor was the most populous part of the island.” The French who settled here (at Baie-des-Espagnols) made their homes along the gully at Greener's Cove (Indian Cove), and Lloyd's Cove, Sydney Mines Charlene McKenzie On 2-Aug-08, at 8:29 PM, Karen M wrote: > I need some serious help!

I do apologize for any confusion I might have caused.....the reference to Greenwood cemetery was for CBGHA members Lynn

Hello, to all on the list. First I wanted to say what an absolutely fantastic job was done cataloging the burials of Greenwood Cemetery. At this point I don't even think I have any relatives buried there, although I'll have to check my files more carefully, but I spent a long time just browsing the site, being able to look at the pictures of the gravestones was wonderful. Thank you so much to all who must have put a lot of time and care into getting it all together. What I wanted to ask was - when I visited my relatives in Glace Bay in 2003, I stayed at the B&B Vespers - Bt the Sea in New Aberdeen. In the sitting room they had a booklet which I believe might have been an anniversary or celebrating the history of St John's Church. There were many pictures and valuable information of the area through the years. Does anyone have a copy of this book? Is there any way I could possible obtain one or pay for a copy to be made for me? Unfortunaley at the time I was too reticent to ask if I could borrow it to make copies. There were quite a few pictures of 'Rogers' in the book that I know would be relatives of mine. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you, Lynn 'Rogers' Dziak Buffalo, NY Researching : Rogers, McPherson, McIntyre of Reserve, Glace Bay & Dominion & Cusack

Land given verbally etc. At one time, I believe the Sydney, NS, area was known as Spanish Bay. There is a river named Spanish River today, about 2.75 miles west of the Sydney boundary proper. Perhaps you could look up some early history of Sydney, NS, and area, which might answer some of your questions. I don't live in that area anymore, but the Cape Breton Genweb site might help. Cheers, Jim

Yikes...poor you! La Cadia may be L'Acadie....which is the French for the land of the Acadians...so you could be talking Grand Pre, Nova Scotia, or Port Royal (Annapolis Royal), Nova Scotia, or Louisbourg, Nova Scotia, or many other different places. If I may make a suggestion, send an e-mail to the Annapolis Heritage Society with the names of your family and see if they have them in their settlers of Port Royal/Annapolis Royal. Or you can phone them at (902) 532-7754. Ryan Scranton is the Executive Director and the Society has genealogist working every afternoon. For a very small charge they could look and see and maybe save you acres of frustration. I am the vice chair of the Annapolis Heritage Society and I know we do this kind of thing. The e-mail address is: historic@ns.aliantzinc.ca Good luck! Jane Nicholson On 2-Aug-08, at 8:29 PM, Karen M wrote: > I need some serious help!

I need some serious help! I'm trying to tie all the information I have on my LeRoy andcestors and I'm really confused. I descend from Charles LeRoy and Marie Charlotte Chauvet. On the 1752 census it states he was born in Paris about 1698. He is 52. She is also 52 and a native of laCadia. They are found in Baye des Espagnols and it further states that they have been in the Colony for 2 years July 22. Land given verbally etc. Is the 2 years mentioned, 2 years in Bay des Espagnols? Is that part of Nova Scotia isle and not Cape Breton isle? Is that LaCadia? What was the early name (if any) for Halifax or Annapolis? When LaCadia is mentioned could it be anywhere, Nfld, NS, CB, PEI,St Pierre & Miquilon. I get so confused by all the different names used at different times. I'm confused by the fact it states she was born in laCadia, but they were only in the colony 2 years. Am I missing something or was she born somewhere else in La Cadia? Another question...Jean dit LaLiberte LeRoy who married Marie Aubois. Is there any record that they were in Paris, France prior to 1700? I have found many records showing Jean & Marie as the parents of Charles, b 1698 (I believe based on the census), born in Paris who married Marie Charlotte Chauvet. The 1752 states he was born in Paris. Is/was there a Paris in Nova Scotia? Was there ever a deportation prior to 1755 when the British were trying to move into the territory. so many questions........ugh!! Again, any help is greatly appreciated. You can tell I'm not a native. :) Karen visit my pond at www.karenspond.com
