Comments: I love your page, however disappointed in the fact--no map of my beloved Yarmouth. I am writing my memoirs and lived on Commercial St. until eight years of age. Back in the late '30's I recall a Street or Road near us, which was either East St., or East Rd. I intend to incorporate that in my life story, however not sure which it was. Can you verify for me?

Comments: I am from Sandford, Yarmouth Co. and I liked the website, however, there are multiple errors in the correct spelling of "Sandford".  On the Sandford site and on the opening page, it is spelled incorrectly as Sanford.  The spelling changes throughout the Sandford page.  Sandford also used to be called Cranberry Head.

I would like to send best wishes to Helen Noonan, as she must be facing one of the biggest challenges of her life with a new baby and no husband to help.
The community seems to be a supportive community, So I pray that this is the case with her.
Very nice web page, a very easy site to search!
Have a great season, and hope to see you all soon.

Comments: Long, long ago (1959-60) I was one of the Bakers who owned a cottage on the Perry Road in Carleton.   This place will always have a special piece of my heart.  The lake,  Merrywood,  Fanning Cottage,  the Strawberry Box,  Buzz Baker's log cabin,  Greg Cann's place,  all hold happy memories.   Every July 17th the family gathered at Fanning Cottage for a corn boil.   I still feel as though I MUST eat my first sweet corn of the season on that date.  We gave some books to the little Carleton Library and I made good use of its resources.  I wonder if it still exists?
