This family tree is a common heritage for us all, so I make info 
public as I get it.
If you have family information that connects to the 
this family tree (for instance, your spouse's family tree), please contact me.



Hello Visitor,

Until March of 2006 I knew of nobody before my grandparents or of their siblings, and even then I didn't know any details about them.  Then, through the internet, I stumbled upon some  family information, touching off a several years of research which is presented on this site

LEAVE A MESSAGE in the Guestbook. Let us know what you think. Say hello to  your new relatives.  Email corrections/additions/changes (there is plenty to update)so they can be incorporated.  I'd be grateful for any assistance (info, pix, family stories) that you can offer.

If you are researching your own family and have found someone in our list, introduce yourself with  an email or Guest book entry, we'd love to know about you and how we connect.

The Main branches of the family tree are Nosworthy, Reid, Cullen on my

the exception of the 'Gale' and the 'Speedwell' the ship images

IS the story of the settlement of Lunenburg Nova Scotia.  It is well 
documented and Nova Scotia is a geneological haven. Some links below bring you 
to other sites.  And of course, you can Google your own.
