Anglican Church. Prior to the church being built, the services were held
in the one-room

Qrytext: Two years ago I made my first trip to Cape Breton
with my brother. Our father who is long past now, was born in North
Sydney. We had wondered all our lives about CAPE BRETON NOVA SCOTIA. We
drove to Purvis & Cottage and saw the house he grew up in, which
looked onto Sydney Harbour. We took pictures of us standing on the steps
of the house my father grew up in. We went to Brookside cemetery to see
my grandfathers(Thomas J. Brown) grave. We drove to New Waterford and
took pictures at the Low Point Lighthouse. Finally we drove around Cape
Breton Island, which was breath taking. I left a little piece of my
heart in Cape Breton. I can thoroughly understand why everyone had such
fond memories, it's been a pleasure reading all the wonderful
stories, and has helped me to get a clearer picture of my fathers life as
he was growing up. Thanks to all, Jewel Brown

Qrytext: Hi: I am ran across the Hillsborough, Inverness County,
District #5.
In early times in the early and mid 1800s there was a lane of travel from
the Margaree and Broad Cove up the South River across Lake Ainslie in a
small row boats or canoes up the Hays River to Mount Young, and thence to
Mabou and Port Hood all in the counties of Inverness, Nova Scotia. There
were two MacEachen home at Mount Young where is was a special stop places
for the weary travelling Gaels of the North. The two widows were
distingelished by the phrases "the big widow" and "the
little widow"; the former being the widow of John, the latter that
of Angus. Many were the weary pedestrians who found rest, food, shelter
and plenty welcome in those widowed home of Mabou Heights.
The reason why I put this in the queary is because I am searching for
cemeteries between Lake Ainslie and Hillsborough. I was told by someone
that there was a cemetery on the Old Margaree Road and that Andrew Moore
was buried in one of these cemetery. Would anyone know or have hear of
anyone doing research on cemeteries around these area. If, so, please let
me know what you may come up with. Would be very graceful for any help

I am doing genealogy of my Great, great grandmother, Jane
"Janet" MacQuarrie who married my Great, great grandfather,
pioneer Andrew Moore, b. ca 1796 Fifeshire, Scotland, d. ca 1870 in
Mabou, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I was told that Janet father was Hector
MacQuarrie either from Cape Breton or Pictou County.
I have the Census of the Inhabitants of the District of Pictou-1817:
P. 30, 5369-5554
Scotch Hill [Scots Hill]: near North Shore on road leading from West
River to River John, Pictou County, Nova Scotia.
MACQUARRIE Allan, Hector, Hector, Hector, John, Alexander, Lauchlin &
Malcolm.
Lauchlin MacQuarrie of Ulva, Scotland, 16th and last chief of the clan.
He came to Pictou County, Nova Scotia with three sons and two daughters:
Angus, Allan, Neil were the three sons; one of the daughter was Marion
married to Hector MacQuarrie of the Western Shore, Cape Breton. Would any
one out there have any knowledge or are doing genealogy of the
MacQuarries clan in Pictou County and Cape Breton? Could there be any
descendants of that Hector & Marion (MacQuarrie) MacQuarrie and would
Janet be there daughter? In 1818, there were also three Hector MacQuarrie
in Cape Breton. One on the Western Shore, one in Lake Ainslie, Inverness
County, Cape Breton and one in Port Hastings, Inverness County, Nova
Scotia. Sure would appreciated any information regarding these
MacQUarrie. All I want is just to know who Janet Parents are, so I know
where I can branch out to my next ancestors from that line. Thank you.

Qrytext: Hi:
I am looking for information on my great grandmother, Mary Maclean. She
was married to my great grandfather, Andrew Moore Jr., son of Andrew
Moore Sr. & Janet (MacQuarrie) Moore. I was told that Mary was a
daughter of Charles & Sarah MacLean of Whale Cove, Margaree Harbour,
Inverness County, Cape Breton. I am not sure as I have the right Mary!
In my research, I came across a Mary Ann MacLean, born 12 January 1849,
died 28 September 1871, age 22 & is buried in Calvin United Church
Cemetery at Whale Cove, Margaree Harbour, Inverness County, Cape Breton.
She was a daughter of John & Catherine MacLean.
The date sound right as my grandfather Edward Andrew Moore was born 31
March 1869 & is buried in the Old Pioneer Cemetery, at Pleasant Bay,
Inverness County, Cape Breton. Grandpa was just a baby or child when his
mother died. Could anyone tell me as I have the right Mary & as I do,
why would she be buried in Whale Cove, unless she very sick & needed
to be care for. It would be nice to find out as I have the right Mary
& the right date of birth & death. I sure would appreciated as
someone have the right information, so I could put is in my Family Tree
Book. Hopeful to hear from someone soon with the right information.
Thank you

Dan J. Mac Donald (c. 1874-1948) was born in Sydney. He had a few
siblings, but his obituary only notes Mrs. James M. Mac Neil and Sister
Mary Edna as survivors. Sr. Mary Edna was a teacher at St. Anne's
school Glace Bay at the time of Dan's death. Dan J. married Christy
Mac Gillivary, of Reserve in 1902. He lived the last 50 years of his
life in Dominion. I have checked various sources and have not yet found
any parents/other siblings.
Jessie Anne Mac Donald was born approx. 1880. I have very little info
about her except for the fact that she married John Willie Morrison of
Glace Bay/Mira c. 1906. She died in the mid 1950's in boston mass.
There seem to be many Jessie Mac Donalds at the time up to this point the
John Willie connection has proved fruitless.
Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated..

I am helping my adopted sister in trying to locate her biological family.
Our adoptive mother has told us that her family is from Nova Scotia -
possibly from the Big Pond area. My sister was born and adopted in 1953 -
in Toronto, Ontario - but we're thinking that there might still be
family members in the area that can help us.
There are two different spellings mentioned on legal documents so we are
not sure if the spelling of the surname is "Baggley" or
Baggly" - her given names are 'Karen Elizabeth'.
We would be grateful for any information you can send us (addresses,
phone numbers) so that we may continue our search for locating her
family.

ships for Archibald and Company in Sydney Cape Breton in 1829 and became
a well known shipwright building ships all over Cape Breton. He was
commissioned for most of the Archibald ships. William's nephew,
Andrew also built ships and William's son, John also joined them in
this occupation. One would think that since William was so well known as
a shipwright there would be something on him. William was born 1803 and
died 1877. Any help or information will be GREATLY appreciated.

Qrytext: The family of MacKenzie's that I am interested in can be found
at the 1901 Automated Genealogy Census site. They are Frank B. MacKenzie
(widow) I believe he was married to Laura S. Moore from Amherst, NS.
(abt. 1881?) Their children from the Census are Frank C. 1885 in
(Boston), Myrtle 1889 in NB (Port Elgin?), Colin A. 1892 in NS. I have 3
photos to share. Tne one from Boston shows Frank as an infant. One of
Frank (sr?)with wife Mary Demings. The other of Frank and (?). There may
be an association with the Knapp and Munro families. I believe he
probably followed other family members to Boston. He returned to Canada.
His son's may have returned to the US? My Moore family is from Linden, NS
(1818)then to Amherst, NS (till 1888) and on to Port Elgin, NB. Roots are
Moore/Angus then Moore/Phelan.

My great-grand parents Dougall and Mary Mackinnon {Mac Phee} lived in
Glace Bay around the 1920's. Location of homestead is estimated to be in
the area of where Phalen St.[Rd.] connects with MacLeod St.[Rd.] via main
Glace Bay highway. Their land reached where UCCB is now today. They had
an estimated total of 13 children, some of which were additional family,
cousins, neices, nephews, etc. Dougall and Mary had a son Angus born
Febuary 1923. Actual family members are listed as follows: Rannie, Alex,
Patrick, Joseph, Ambrose, Lillian, Frances, Margaret, Hughena,
Catherine,Agnes, and Angela. The family plot is located on MacLeod
St.[Rd.] cemetary.Angus went to war at a young age, lost most of his
brothers there, coming home to find out his mother Mary died of a heart
attack to learn the news that all her sons perished in the war. Dougall
past away years before from a logging accident that broke his back. Angus
married Mary Helen McIntyre, daugther of Isadore and Bridgette Martina
McIntyre{Bates}. Isadore is the son of Daniel[Dan the Piper]McIntyre and
Mary Morrison born April 1901. Bridgette Martina Bates was born in
Bateston or Batestown outside of Louisburg, parents unknown, date of

Qrytext: I am looking for information on MacEacherns from Broad Cove
Marsh or Glenville. My grandfather was an Alexander MacEachern, son of
James MacEachern (carpenter) and Mary MacLellan. James built a home in
Glenville. His father Donald was married to a Katy MacDonald and he
lived in Broad Cove Marsh. I am trying to find any other relatives who
can tell me where we came from in Scotland and when we arrived in N.S.
Donald and Katy had another son, Alexander who was the father of Rev.
Malcolm MacEachern, Bishop of Charlottetown, PEI. I think Donald came to
N.S. with his parents and siblings - up to 10 or 11 of them. Some went
to Antigonish and some to Port Hood, but that's all I have been able to
get - census info makes me think Donalds father was Iain and that he died
before 1837 as it shows a Mrs. John McEachern living near Donald. Donald
was born in Scotland in 1806, but his wife was from N.S. They were R.C.
If anyone has info I would be indebted.

MCDONALD, WHYNACHT
NOTE: County: Cape Breton
Qrytext: Liverpool
Advance July 3rd 1941 - MCDONALD - "At Robinson's Nursing Home on June
25th to Mrs. and the late Alex McDonald, Sydney, a son 7.5 pounds".
It was late winter of 1941 when a lady by the name of Mary McDonald
showed up in Liverpool, Queens County, Nova Scotia. She appeared to be in
her early twenties at the time. She had black hair, blue eyes, and a very
intense laugh. She was almost in tears each time she laughed. We don't
believe she had any older children nor did she ever mention anything
about having any other children. It was said that she was from Cape
Breton. No one ever found out what her maiden was. It was said that she
worked as a nurse. She was several months pregnant and she said her
husband died of tuberculoses. She said she had two or three sisters and a
brother who was a priest in Cape Breton. She was a Catholic so she went
to the parish priest and asked him if he knew of a place where she could
stay. The name of the priest at St. Gregory's Parish at that time was
Father Thomas Delaney and he was the same priest who would perform the
wedding for my parents 25 years later. He knew of a lady named Mary
Whynacht who took in boarders because Mary was also a Catholic and
attended the church on a regular basis. Mary Whynacht's son Hughey and
his wife Kathleen often visited her and they met Mary McDonald during one
of the visits. Through conversing with her, they found out she was
expecting a baby shortly and that the father of her baby had died.
When Mary McDonald gave birth to her son, she named him George Byron
McDonald. Mary said that she could not take her baby back to Cape Breton
with her cause there was a story about some contagious disease in the
family. She had asked Hughey and Kathleen if they could take care of her
baby at their home in Sandy Cove and she would send money every month to
help pay for his care. This continued for several months but eventually
she stopped sending them money every month. Since Hughey and Kathleen
were taking care of the baby for several months now, they were growing
very attached to him and wanted to keep him and raise him as their own
son. One day Kathleen received a letter in the mail from Mary McDonald
and Kathleen got very upset and thought that Mary was coming back for her
son. As it turned out Mary wanted to know if Hughey and Kathleen would
adopt her son. They did and it was a private adoption between the two
parties. Hughey and Kathleen were going to rename him but Hughey's mother
Mary Whynacht, convinced them not to. My father was placed with Hughey
and Kathleen on July 15, 1941 and the adoption order was granted on
November 26, 1942.
My father believes he may have seen his biological mother on a few
occasions during the 1950's when he was working at the old Irving Oil gas
station in Mill Village when Jordan Baker was running it. She was quite
friendly with him but she never said that she was his mother. He thinks
she re-married and was living in Halifax during the 1960's. We don't know
what the name of her second husband was if she did re-marry. We're not
sure if she's still alive. There has yet to be any type of official
contact between my father and any member of his biological family.
If anyone has any information about this or any tips on how to conduct a
search, I'd be happy to hear from them.

Qrytext: Hi,
Well, I guess this is really strange. My grandfather's headstone says
"Lawrence J LeBlanc"
(http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NBCemeteries/Details.aspx?L=EN&Key=46634).
It seems that his family knew him as Lawrence but his regiment number
lists him as Laurent Leon LeBlanc
(http://data2.archives.ca/cef/gpc009/459273a.gif).
Did a quick search and came up with this:
http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-
bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=tleblanc&id=I0503. The Laurent LeBlanc listed here
matches the information that is listed on the Archives.ca website. I
definitely will have to check with other relatives (especially the older
ones) to see if they know anything.
When I talked to my father, he did not know any of his father's relatives
(or even the names of them). I wonder how Laurent ended up in Minto, New
Brunswick when it seems the rest of the relatives stayed in Margaree,
Nova Scotia? Maybe his marriage certificate might shed some light on this
- was probably married in the early/mid 1920's (my father was born in
1935, his oldest brother is 10 years older). I don't believe my
grandmother is from originally from Minto
(http://archives.gnb.ca/APPS/NBCemeteries/Details.aspx?L=EN&Key=46635).
Would anyone have any more details on the children of Laurent and Marie-
Anne LeBlanc (http://worldconnect.rootsweb.com/cgi-

Back to the drawing board. :-)

Qrytext:
Since I was a young child I have been told stories about an ancestory
whose name was Lady Margaret. She was from Scotland and fell in love
with a coachman and fled to Canada. Some of the story has it that they
were chased to the dock by family and when they were too late to stop
them, she was disowned by the family. One of the few connections I have
was Cape Breton Island. I don't know if they went there right away or
after they had been in Canada a while.

Surnames: Bell, MacIntyre, Cotterill
NOTE: County:
Qrytext: I am visiting Cape Breton for a few days in October and
would like to find the home where my father was brought up, and meet
anyone who knew of the family. The postal address was RR#1 River Denys
Station, Inverness County. His name was Alfred Dudley Cotterill. He was
sent from England with his older brother, from an Emigration home in
Birmingham, England in 1916.
He was adopted by a farming family at the address above. Their name was
MacIntyre. His adopted mother was, I believe, called Sarah Bell before
her marriage. I am not sure about her husbands name. They had one son
of their own who was called Archie Donald MacIntyre, who ran the farm
after their death. Their mother died in the late 1940's. Their father
had died earlier.
My father's brother didn't stay in Canada, but my Dad stayed until the
second world war when he joined the Canadian Army. He came to England
and married my mother, Lillian. I was born in 1943 and named after
someone from his home called Barbara. He said ahe was a cousin, and spoke
fondly of her. I have twin sisters, Sandra and Sheila who were born in
1947.
My Dad returned to Nova Scotia when he was discharged from the army in
Sydney, NS, on 17th October 1941. It was always his intention to take us
all back to his home, but it never happened.
Archie continued to farm and to write to us, until he was shot sometime
in the 1950's, in some sort of dispute at the farm.
I would apprecite any help in locating the farm and anyone who knows
anything about the family.

Sylvester Burke. He was born in Glace Bay, Cape Breton on, I'm pretty
sure, November 3, 1934. He was last seen some time in the 80's. He was
know to travel, including to the states. He was the son of Bessie and
Benny Burke of #2, Glace Bay. He was brother to Sis, Mary, Ambrose,
Veronica, Martha, Marcella, Dolly and my grandmother Teresa. I have never
met him, but have heard so much about him that I would really love to
meet him or atleast talk to him. PLEASE HELP! My grandmother's health is
now failing and she would desperately love to see him before she dies.
If you have any info, please contact me.
I am also searching for my family history on my grandmothers side. She
was an Irish Burke (b. Glace Bay-#2). Her father was Benjamin Leo Burke
(b. ~1885) in Main A Dieu (parents - Jane Wadden and ? Burke). Her mother
was Margaret Elizabeth Kelly (b. ~1892) in Louisburg (parents - Caroline
Price and Ned Kelly). Any help would be GREATLY!! appreciated.

Surnames: EDWARDS
NOTE: County: Cape Breton
Qrytext: This is an update to my Aug 1997 query. I found Alec EDWARDS'
parents, they were Joseph EDWARDS and Flora MCDOUGAL, they were married
in North Sydney abt 1870. Joseph's parents were Joseph EDWARDS and Mary
Ann (unknown), Flora's parents were Neil MCDOUGAL and Christie MCCUISH,
it seems that Joseph EDWARDS jr and Flora MCDOUGAL were both born in
Little Bras D'Or between 1850 and 1854. My puzzle now is ... what
happened to Joseph & Flora, that they don't appear on the 1891 census and
their two youngest children Alec and Joseph end up 25 miles away living
with different families? Alec was with the MACDONALD's and Joseph with
two KENNEDY sisters, Mrs MACDONALD was nee KENNEDY and was sister to the
other two, however, I cannot find another KENNEDY connection to the
EDWARDS'. The three older EDWARDS childern Mary Ann, Margaret Jane and
Florence all but disappear, one of them may have gone to the USA and may
have worked on one of the ASTOR estates (family
story).

Surnames: BEATON
NOTE: County: Inverness
Qrytext: My ancestor, Donald BEATON, can be found in Mabou Pioneers, Vol
1, Page 162. His son, Matthew, recorded his father's name as "Donald" in
the late 19th and early 20th century. However, recently I have found
several documents dating from 1844 to 1852 and all list Donald's name as
"Daniel." There can be no possibility that two different persons are
being named. There are too many correlations.
1. What are the sources used by A.D. MacDonald for Mabou Pioneers? Are
they Cape Breton sources? How might I go about finding them?
2. Were Cape Breton Islanders of Highland descent in the habit of using
non-gaelic names amongst non-gaelic speakers in the mid 19th century? Was
Daniel a common substitution for Donald?
I'd appreciate any help.

Dear Madam,
I live in France and I am looking for my ancestor ELIZA TUTTY (birth
certificate or baptism certificate) who was born on 28/03/1848 in Sydney
(Ile du Cap Breton - Nova Scotia). She was the daughter of Charles Tutty
(carpenter) and Jeanne March. Eliza Tutty married Pierre Forgeard on
26/04/1871 in Saint-Pierre et Miquelon.
I think Charles Tutty (and may be his wife Jeanne March) was an Irish
migrant or an Irish migrant descendant. I don't know exactly. I don't
know where are they from ? I'd like to find it "to free" my genealogy !
Can you help me for this search ?

Qrytext: My
sister and I have started to try and follow and create a family tree as
the people are really starting to dwindle down. And we would like to
make this available to future additions to the tree while we can. We
have alot of names but are missing some key information.We are trying to
locate information on the MacLeod side of our family. We have a few
names, but now with ALL of the MacLeods passed in the family it is very
hard. What we do know is that our Grandfather, Charles Alexander MacLeod
born 1888-89 and passed away in 1959. He was a coal mine cop in Glace
Bay. He married Florence Maude Caines and they had three children,
Allister (d 2002) Lorna (d 2004) and Charles (our dad b 1940 d 2001).
Our Grandfather had 3 bothers that we know of, Archibald (could have also
gone gone by John A), Dan and Ralph. We believe that the family
originated in Scotland but not too sure when the family moved to Canada
to Cape Breton. We think the family came on the Ship "The Mayflower" but
are not too clear on that. Also looking for information on Clements
family roots. Our Great Granparents Ellen Leblanc and Charles(Charlie)
Clements. And also any informatin on our Great Grandparents Johnathan
Caines and Martha Champion. If anyone can help us fill in some blanks it
would be more then greatly appreciated. We would like to document what
we can for all the little ones coming into the family. And so many of
our branches have already passed on. Thanks and God
Bless.....
