Product Description
Book Description
Published between 1896 and 1910, George Brown's columns in the Yarmouth Herald focused almost exclusively on New England families who migrated to Nova Scotia around the time of the Revolutionary War, many of them descended from Mayflower colonists. In article after article Brown traced these families from their earliest known origins in the old world down to the end of the nineteenth century, his combined output amounting to an encyclopedia of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia families. Brown's work has been badly neglected, owing to the scarcity of the Yarmouth Herald. To rectify this situation and place this invaluable body of source materials at the disposal of the researcher, Martha and Bill Reamy put together as complete a collection of columns as possible, reset the type, and indexed the entire collection. The 186 articles name as many as 60,000 individuals. With an Introduction by the noted Nova Scotia authority Col. Leonard H. Smith Jr., and with additional articles containing selected Yarmouth source records, this is clearly the pre-eminent work on Nova Scotia genealogy.

George Brown Genealogies, July 17 2006
By Roger A. Cunningham - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Yarmouth: Nova Scotia Genealogies : Transcribed from the Yarmouth Herald (Hardcover)
As an amateur genealogist researching the Yarmouth,N.S. area, and having spent years seeking sources, I can recommend this book as the single best source I have seen. It will save the user many hours of time because of its comprehensiveness. It will not eliminate using other sources but will lead to productive sources.
