Comments: I have been doing a lot of genealogy research on the Porter and Churchill families.  My ancestors arrived in Yarmouth County from Massachusetts just after the Revolutionary War.  My father and his brothers were the first generation of his immediate family to return to the states.  I used to visit my Grandmother in Yarmouth many summers when I was growing up.  I am looking for anyone with information on the John B. Porter II and his wife (Mary McCormick) family.  Somehow we don't have any pictures of my grandfather and his siblings when they were growing up.  I don't have any pictures of John II or his wife either.  If anyone has any would you please contact me.  Thanks.  Dot

Comments: I was just searching on thw web about home, and it was very neet to see that all these people put on messages. I was raised in Yarmouth County(Pinkney's Point), I feel the appreciation of home now that I don't live there.  Nova Scotia will always be my home.  My family still lives there, I love going home to visit and it will probably be one of those places that I will retire.... Someday:)

Comments: Hi Nova Scotia

Just wanted to say that I spent a evening in Yarmouth, visiting. Came over on the CAT (20 foot swells, it was
was a very interesting ride) spent the night at the Colony Hotel, right there on the pier, nice place, needs A/C though!

The leather warehouse and antique shop was very quaint! Had a meal at The Prince Arthur. The food was very good!

I enjoyed my stay, I'll be sure to come again!

Genology Request

Comments: Hello - After 20 years of effort, my Nova Scotia born ancestor, Elie Bouchard b. 1794, Carleton N.S. was found to be the son of Alexis Bouchard,b.Aug 23,1767,Petite Riviere Que. and Agathe Blanche Leblanc, daughter of Benj.Leblanc and Marie Dugas. Alexis had two other children, Alexandre, b.1790 and Olivette,b.1792. Alexis and Elie were of the sea, boatbuilders, fishermen, owned and sailed their own vessels. Elie had his boat and cargo seized by the authorities, stole it back, ran it to Quebec and sold both. After shipping on a whaler from the States, he was shipwrecked on Newfoundland, one of two survivors, and found a station, shipped to Hudson Bay, crossed over land and river to the North Shore of Lake Superior,Territory of Michigan, then to Mackinac Island, where he joined other voyagers trading with the Indians on the Mississippi for the Hudson Bay Co. He was 27 years old. Nova Scotia made REAL men at an early age. Now to my request. I desire to find my ancient Acadien roots and I "am awash in a sea of Leblancs". It is believed that Alexis Bouchard moved to Ile Madame about 1800 or so. Other Bouchards, named John or a Pierre may be relatives. Elie Bouchard died, on a trip to homeland on Nova Scotia to see his family on Oct. 25,1879 on Staten Island NY USA. I hope he saw his loved ones, and died on his return trip to Michigan. Any person that would like to assist in determining which branch of the Leblanc tree produced Elie, please contact me. Again Agathe Blanch Leblanc was his mother,and Benj. Leblanc and Marie Dugas were her parents. Bouchard relatives married into the Hebert and Bougeois Families. Thank you in advance and see you at the Grand Convention in 2004. Don Bouschor  age 69

Comments: Hello to all......

Comments: In Aug. I took the ferry from Bar Harbor over to Yarmouth.  My wife and I took the 2 hour tour which included the light house. I found this the most interesting point in the yarmouth area. I took the ferrry back to Bar Harbor and the next day drove to Halifax. I found Halifax area much interesting as I visited Peggys cove Luinburg and the Halifax waterfront. I had no car in Yarmouth and I now wonder if I missed more then I expected in that area. I hope to return to Yarmouth in the next few years. Can you tell me what I may have missed,

Comments: Our group of Church Seniors visited there in 1989.Have always wanted to go back, but have not made it.Met a real nice couple from South Ohio, Ray & Joyce Burnie,
kept in touch with them for a while, but have not corresponded with them in a long time.  Do you know if they are still in the area? We enjoyed our tour of Nova Scotia, had a great time, the country is beautiful and interesting.

She was a school teacher and met my father Dave Frost in Argyle and had seven girls and then three boys. She had a brother Edwin and two sisters Nina and Viola. They are all pased away now. Are there Hamiltons in Kemptville now? I remember Chester Grey and Prossers and also Raynards etc. Well a lot has changed I'm sure. I was there shortly three years ago to put my Aunt Nina to rest beside the church in North Kempt. All the best to everyone there.
