Quebec City: Nova Scotia

quebec city: Al Short, 88, lives in Massachusetts and is organizing the reunion, according to The Chronicle Herald. All my grandparents came from Nova Scotia or New Brunswick, he says. And they're hoping it goes smoother than it did 200 years ago, when they arrived on a ship crashing into the Nova Scotian island as their immigration went wrong. Two centuries ago his ancestors boarded the brig Trafalgar in Hull, England, bound for Saint John, N.B., and Quebec City. After two months at sea, the ship rounded western Nova Scotia in a dense fog. Traveling with the Shorts were a host of other familiar Maritime names, such as Beal, Cook, Dunn, Fraser, Hare, Kidney, Milliner and Whyte. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
