Comments: Hello,

I'm a remnant of those MacKinnons who disappeared from the Argyle, Nova Scotia area.  I'm the great-great-great granddaughter of Lt. Col. Ranald McKinnon/MacKinnon of Argyle, as follows:  Rosamond Jean MacGregor6 Simon (Mrs. Jack Edward Simon of Huntsville Alabama USA); Dr. Judson Stewart MacGregor5 of Milton & Boston Mass. USA; Elizabeth Maria Hatfield4 called Bessie {Mrs. Peter Stewart MacGregor of Tusket NS & Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada); Eleanor Jane MacKinnon3 called Jane & "Gramma Jake" (Mrs. Jacob Hatfield of Tusket, NS); Major John MacKinnon2 and his 1st wife, Elizabeth Frost of Argyle NS; and Lt. Col. Ranald MacKinnon1 & his wife, Letitia Piggott of Argyle NS.  I loved reading your history of Argyle, and especially about my MacKinnon ancestors.  We have never been able to prove, so far, by any document that Lt. Col. Ranald McKinnon was born on his grandfather's chiefship estate in Strathardill, Isle of Skye, Scotland, or whether he was born on his father's estate at Erray House, Mishnish Estate, outside Tobermory, Isle of Mull, Scotland.  I have been to the Mishnish Estate and even stayed overnight at it, one or two nights, when it was a Bed & Breakfast owned then by the Gardners, husband an architect from London, England, in the 1960's, probably 1965 or 1966.  The Mishnish Estate is now owned by MacLeods, who, I hear, don't want to be bothered with strangers or tourists on their estate.  Lt. Col. Ranald MacKinnon's father was Ian MacKinnon na Mishnish (of Mishnish), and Ranald's paternal grandfather was Lauchlan MacKinnon, 28th Chief of Clan MacKinnon.  I delve heavily into genealogy, but I have not been able to trace the family of Ranald's wife, Letitia Piggott very well.  I haven't identified a Major Piggott as her father, though we have found a William Piggott, innkeeper, in Halifax, as probably her father.  Letitia had a sister whose first name I forget, and I believe I found that her mother's name was also Letitia.  Any information you or others may give me about the Piggotts will be most gratefully received.  Please write me at Rjmsimon@knology.net

Thank you very much.

Comments: I was born in Halifax in 1956 and moved to Yarmouth in 1957.  I resided there until 1969 when we moved to Ontario.  My grandparents lived in Port Saxon and Cape Breton.  Yarmouth and Nova Scotia itself, still have a very warm place in my heart.  My parents continue to "summer" in Port Saxon in my grandparents home.  I do visit as often as I can but not often enough!  It sure is great to "get down home".  Thank you.

Comments: Hi. I been up in Halifax now for about 9 years. But I was born and raise until I was 16 here in Yarmouth. Of course not growing up much in my teens to legal drinking age. I never got to know the bars in Yarmouth. I have an established band up here in Halifax and we play live all the time. What I was wondering is where can my band play in Yarmouth. I heard the RED KNIGHT is suppose to be good. I tried emailing them and never got a reply. I really would like to hook up a gig at my hometown. You can visit our site at http://www.infernoracket.com for more info. Thank You. Alex Coulstring. PS I would have been class of 95 if I stayed.

My family very much enjoyed our trip to Nova Scotia and exploring Yarmouth in '96 and plan to return for your next family reunion. I'm descended from Leon Pothier and Rosalie Thibodeau through David Pothier and Josephine Boudreau through William Pothier (Porter) (my great-grandfather who emigrated to the States in the 1890s.
best wishes to all,

Comments: Just excellant. I became aware of these pages from a copy of the Quince Tree brochure sent to my brother (Earle Roberts) and his wife Ida (Wyman) Roberts by Willetta Raynard. My brother ,Earle, was born on the lower end of Roberts Island (the old Lee place)in 1919. I was born in Glenwood(by looking out of our living room window we could always see the " Ricker House"..In fact the long distance picture of the Quince Tree on the brochure was taken from down at the shore from the house I speak of (where I was born) The house where I was born is rapidly falling down and is located in front of the Davidson place in Glenwood. Ida ( Wyman) Roberts was from Brooklyn originally.Brings back wonderfull memories.It is so heartwarming to learn that this place is being put to such great use...CONGRATULATIONS............
