Thank you, Kathie. I have checked out this website and it is FABULOUS! It is the gateway to genealogy research for Nova Scotia. I didn't find anything on John Wilson, BUT I did find that Nova Scotia is peppered with Wilson's. Some of them have got to be family. There is a map and you key in your family surname and it shows where those families have lived. LOTS of Wilson's. Thanks again for the web address.
