HAILIG, MCNEIL posted by Marie Santry on Saturday, January 16, 1999

Have Baptism certificate for my Grandmother, which reads, "Marie Sarah Daughter of Anthony Hailig and Mary McNeil of St. Peters C.B. was born on Feb 20, 1884 and was baptized in St. Mary's Church on Feb 25, 1884" signed by Michael McKenzie, Pastor, Dominion No. 4, C.B. Aug 19, 1918. I am unfamiliar with Nova Scotia. Does C.B. stand for Cape Breton? What does the term "Dominion No. 4" refer to? Also, the certiciate was issued from St. Anthony's Church (Rev J. J. Macneil, P.P.?). St. Mary's and St. Anthony's are most likely Catholic Churches. How can I contact these churches?
