Hi Bob Sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, just got home. As far as I know, they must use the same index. When I was looking for the family, I wanted and they were in Sydney of all places (more pages), I couldn't find them through the archives or ancestry indexes, and it took a page by page search to finally find them. We are all human so errors are going to be made. I did find page 58 though, its appears along with page 53. Your Gillis wasn't on it though. You really have to watch the page numbers, as I noticed if a family continues on the following page, the surname wasn't always included with the first name at the top of page. No I didn't go through the microfilm. I use either ancestry or LAC. You did better than I did, I think LAC this morning had a real case of the hiccups as it wanted to give me everyone in CapeBreton County, no matter what, I did for a search.
