In the hopes of making some family connections, here is a list of the surnames that I'm investigating. As you can see, I'm about as Nova Scotian as a person can get, with a dash of New England. If you think we have a connection, please say hello.
- BENTLEY (Kings Co., Nova Scotia)
- BROWN (Cape Breton, Nova Scotia)
- CONROY (Colchester Co., Nova Scotia)
- DEWAR, DEWER (Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island)
- HISCOX, HISCOCK (County of Queens, Prince Edward Island)
- LYONS (Nova Scotia, Massachusetts, somewhere in Ireland)
- MACDONALD, MCDONALD (Pictou Co., Nova Scotia)
- MACGOWAN, MCGOWAN, MCGOWN (Digby Co. & Queens Co., Nova Scotia)
- MACLEOD, MCLEOD (Pictou Co., Nova Scotia)
- PIKE, PYKE (Channel, Newfoundland)
- SNEESTON (Prince Edward Island)
- TUPPER (Colchester Co., Nova Scotia)
- WEIR, WIER (Hants Co., Nova Scotia; Narragansett, Rhode Island)
Of course there are more, but that's a good start.
