Comments: Hi Everyone,
I have been working on my family tree  for many years & am getting nowhere by
conventional methods.My ancesters said  only that they were from Nova Scotia,
they  did not say where "in" Nova Scotia. they were there in the 1700 & 1800& migrated
to Boston & Gloucester, Mass. 1800 & 1900. I'm trying to post a message in each of
your  lovely counties in hopes some one  will read this & get in touch with me with
knowledge of the following surnames:

HAYS-HAYES-CHAPMAN-SCOTT-DUNCAN-CROWELL-
NICKERSON-SIDE-WHITTENDALE-HAWES.

 Some day when I can find my ancesters I am going to visit all of
your beautiful Nova Scotia. Thank you for providing a place to
post this message.

There have been so many changes in your small town and you've done a GREAT job making all us tourist fell welcome. We love you all.

Comments: Hello everyone! Have a nice day!!

Comments: After growing up in yarmouth, I enjoy visiting family and friends
in the area. It was nice to see this site , and surprised to see that
it included South Ohio. With our communities worried about oour
 biggest industries being taken away , maybe some of the people looking
at this will realize that there are alot of people in our fishing
communities that are affected by the recent decisions being made by the
supreme court of Canada. Tourism may be the only thing left in our beautiful
part of the world.

Comments: Having grown up in Port Maitland, it is nice to have this site to check on from time to time.  A great picture of the beach!

Comments: i think you should put something about the schools in yarmouth in this page but otherwise it is good. i also think it should be bigger. it should have more pictures of stuff in yarmouth and things like that

Comments: Very good web page, I paid a visit to your town 5 years ago from Portland and enjoyed the visit very much and was very impressed with your museum, it has a great collection of marine oil paintings.

Comments: Enjoy looking at different sites, the pictures of the cotton mill are interesting but so bare. My father worked there all his working life.

My late Tante Isabelle who died this year lived in Bellville along with her husband Wifred for a good many years. They had lived in Bellville, Ontario before returning to Nova Scotia. There house was located on a hill overlooking a lake. It was a very old house but I always enjoyed visiting when I could. Her many grandchildren and great grandchildren visited her often during the summer months. I have been doing research into my acadian roots and am interested in knowing more about other acadian communities. Thanks for listening Fran Dobson

Comments: After searching my genealogy for three years and finding my ancestors all the way back to two passengers on the Mayflower,I found that the Drinkwaters settled on Cousins Island,Yarmouth,Me.They raised 9 sons and 2 daughters and the brothers all became ship captains and later became ship builders right there in Yarmouth.Once they all sailed into Boston Harbor the same day and the commander of the fort thought something was suspicious where they all had the same name so he sent a messenger into Boston to check.After it was confirmed he invited them out to the fort for dinner.

Where might I find this?  Do you have upcoming events available for July 2000?  What is the weather like during this time of year? Does Yarmouth have a local item that is popular for buying/shopping?  And where can I find some brief history about Yarmouth,Nova Scotia?
Thank you.

If there happens to be any Drinkwaters in your area I would like to hear from them as I'm sure I would be related in someway.Thanks for having me, Chuck Drinkwater

request for information on the Acadian ancestors of my
maternal Grandmother Mary Jane Hubbard married to John
Edward Cosman of Sand Beach, Yarmouth Co.

Within two weeks I had a reply from a lady in Ontario who
had all the information on the Moulaisons, as well as
the Hubbards of Yarmouth County.  Turns out we are third
cousins.

Without this site, it would have taken a lot of
research.   Keep up the good work.
