Hello Cann cousins:
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Wilfred Allan. I live in Darlings
Lake, Nova Scotia, about a 20 minute drive from the Town of Yarmouth. I
spend a sizeable number of my waking hours in genealogical pursuits,
including teaching classes and volunteering at the Yarmouth County Museum
Archives and the Argyle Municipality Historical and Genealogical Society
Archives in Tusket.
My paternal great grandmother was Alice Amelia CANN (1832-1919), daughter of
John and Mary (Dane) CANN. (See David's great web site for details.)
One of my volunteer projects is similar to that of our genial host, David
Cann, i.e. I administer a not-very-active RootsWeb mail list. In this
instance it's for those interested in Yarmouth County genealogy.
As so many Cann researchers stumble on Yarmouth County at some point in
their genealogical pursuits I thought some of you may be interested in
joining our list to post a query or two or just to lurk and see what's going
on. If the past is any indication you won't be flooded with e-mails.
Signing up is similar to the way we signed up for this list.
To subscribe, send a NEW email message to:
CAN-NS-YARMOUTH-L-request(a)rootsweb.com or
CAN-NS-YARMOUTH-D-request(a)rootsweb.com (for digest mode)
with only one word in the body: subscribe
I hope I've not abused this list my giving a little publicity to another
list.
Cheers,
Wilfred
