I'm very impressed with the work you've been doing. I grew up in Hardwoodlands and wish that I were home more often and able to help with your rather ambitious endeavour. I'd especially like to help update the records by adding Sandhill Cemetery where many of my relatives are buried including my beloved grandparents Gerald and Blanche Wood.
I noticed when looking at the entries for the HardwoodLand Cemetary that the entry for my best childhood friend Sherry Ritcey, who recided with Robert and Millie MacPhee is incorrect. Please verify with Millie but Sherry's last name is listed as Ritchie instead of Ritcey. If this has already been brought to your attention , please excuse my redundancy.
Best wishes and congratulations on your hard work.
Sincerely,
Darlene

Name: Suzanne W. Watt <Swatt1010@aol.com> Date: 2004-10-09 Where I live: Naperville, IL USA Surnames I am researching: Gibbs, Meek Comments:
I visited your fine museum in Windsor in July and purchased Mr. Whittier's book on Early Hants Co. It has been very helpful in my research of my Loyalist ancestor, Zacharias Gibbs. I also found there was another relative there at the time: Margaret(possibly Mary) Coleman Meek, the wife of Wm. Meek. Meek sold 1/2 his land grant in Oct 1792 &sailed with Gibbs. His wife stayed behind. I have seen the dates 1824 and 1828 as her date of death, and "St.Paul's Cemetery" on the Internet.
She was sister to 2 of my ancient grandmothers(one was Gibbs' wife). Can anyone verify the date...or anything else about her?
I still don't know where the men sailed. They never were heard from again.

I have a web page on the Covered Bridges
of New Brunswick which is quite popular getting
over 20 hits a day.
http://summerville-novascotia.com/CoveredBridges/index.html
I lived inNew Brunswick for many years but have
recently moved back to Nova Scotia.
I still do
my best to keep the web page updated and I'm always
looking for new things to add to it.
I found
a interesting picture on your web site titled
A view of Shubenacadie, Nova Scotia, and covered
bridge over the river, circa 1905.
I would like
your permission to use this picture on my site.
I'm trying to get as many pictures of Nova Scotia's
covered bridges as possible and have a seperate
page on them. However for now I would like to
have in shown along with the old steel brideg
shown on my page
http://summerville-novascotia.com/CoveredBridges/Bridges.html
Few people realize that Nova Scotia did have covered
bridges at one time.
Thanks
