Comments: I grew up near Yarmouth (Lake Doucette, Digby Co.), but now live near Halifax, NS. I am doing some research on stones near Yarmouth that have curious inscriptions on them. These are the ones I have heard about: 1. Yarmouth Runic Stone, in museum (lots of info).
If anyone has any information on any of these stones [except (1)], or
if you know of other ones not listed, could you please contact me at deveau@chebucto.ns.ca.
I currently have very little information on how to find these stone inscriptions,
or even if they still exist. Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Comments: Just wanted to thank all the folks in Yarmouth, Nove Scotia
for a great vacation! Beautiful costal territory and wonderful people.
Great meal and service at Rudders on the waterfront. If you have a chance
- drive the 15 minutes to Middle West Pubnico and have an authentic Acadian
meal (Poutine, Rappie Pie, and the bread pudding with lemon sauce) at the
Red Cap Resturant. Unbelievable!
Date: 7/12/2003
Comments: I recently visited my grandfather's (on my mother's side) ancestral homeland on Surette's Island near Tuskett and Yarmouth, NS for the first time from 26 June - 3 July. My grandfather's name was Ruben Isaac Surette. The occasion of my visit was my parent's (Russell A. and Barbara A. [Surette and Bennett] Duncan) 50th wedding anniversary (Where would I be without them? Thanks for everything Mom and Dad.). I was so thrilled to visit the area. I can still see the many picturesque
islands; the osprey and kingfisher that fished the area while I also fished
the for mackerel and pollack. I met and enjoyed the company of many in
the area including relatives that I never had met in my 47 years, and hope
to return soon. The people of Surette's Island are a warm and friendly
group who made me feel like they had known me for years. Only one thing
troubled me during my visit, the original Surette homestead on the island
(dating to the early 1800s, which is currently unoccupied and dilapidated,
is greatly in need of repair and recognition by some historical society.
My recommendation is that it should be restored and made into a historical
site/museum and perhaps a bed and breakfast for visitors (i.e. for descendants
of families in area and other tourists) to help with maintenance costs)
Thank you and hope to see you again soon.

Comments: Family of mine used to live in this area, and way back in
the sixties-I had the great fortune of visiting for a few days. What a
tremendous impression it made on me-a gal from the big city of Montreal!!Although
I was born in the city-I have always believed that my true roots are those
of a "down-homer".Wonder if Cousin James ever got his lawn back to normal
after the tractor mishap?
Date: 7/13/2003
Comments: Although it has been many years since my last visit to Yarmouth-I
have never forgotten my vacations there. From the walks on Main Street,Cape
Forchu, and South End-to the visiting of relatives in Quinan and South
Ohio and in between-Yarmouth has always had a huge place in my heart.Hope
to one day experience it again!!!

father, Irving Durkee, mentioned Nova Scota. Moved from there in the late
1800's. Birth date 1880's? Thanks Don
Date: 7/17/2003 Name: Scott LeBlanc Location: Winnipeg, MB E-Mail: scottleb@mts.net Comments: I am currently posted in Winnipeg, but grew up in the small
French community of Quinan. The Prairies are definitely not as scenic
as Nova Scotia is. Having travelled around the world as a soldier,
I can certainly say that nothing compares to down home...as well, it's
very difficult to get Rappie Pie in Manitoba! I hope to be down there soon.
