I have been watching this list for some time now and wonder if anyone is
searching for members of their CHAMBERS lines in Nova Scotia. If so I would like
to compare notes.
My Chambers line goes back through my grandmother who was born in 1880 in
Dorchester, NB, daughter of Alexander Scott Chambers. Alexander Scott Chambers
was born in Nova Scotia and baptized in Wallace, Cumberland county, NS in
1857. He was the son of James Chambers, born 1830 in NS, and Sarah McPherson,
born in 1831 in Pictou, NS.
James Chambers death certificate says his parents were Robert Chambers and
Catherine Miller, both born in NS but no specific place.
I have found the largest concentration of Chambers in Hants, Cumberland and
Colchester Counties. Origins of the Chambers families are listed as English,
Scottish, Swiss and Irish.
If anyone else is searching for Chambers ties in Nova Scotia please contact
me throught the list or off the list at Jpsandford(a)aol.com. Thanks.
