Nova Scotia Immigrants to 1867


Book Description

Col. and Mrs. Smith labored over a decade, to construct this vast index of heretofore widely scattered Nova Scotia immigrants from numerous archives in North America and abroad(Part 1); and from 450 articles in Nova Scotia periodicals (Part 2). Easily the most comprehensive sourcebook on Nova Scotia immigrants ever published, and a great tool for New England ancestral research, whether the ancestor's origins are Scottish, Irish, English, German, or Loyalist.







Planters, Paupers, and Pioneers


Book Description

The first in a series of three titles on The English in Canada, this book focuses on factors that brought the English to Canada, tracing the English arrivals to the various settlements.

Queens County, Nova Scotia


Book Description

On each page, a photograph at the top shows a scene from Queens County taken many many years ago, and below it the same scene photographed in the past year. Between the photographs is a history of what is in the photos: the businesses and buildings, when they opened or closed, when they were built or when they were demolished or destroyed by fire - a record of the changes through the years. Almost every community in Queens County is included, including smaller places like South Brookfield and Port Joli.
