Thanks so much! I have been using the PEI Provincial Archives for my Mom's family, but hadn't stumbled across the other provinces yet.
I will check the familysearch.org dite too - I haven't had a lot of success with the 1871 census to date. It would be nice if they were all as well done as the 1881 version!
Thanks again!
Hello,
I am James Mclean Currie's (Maclean Curry) great granddaughter. I guess that would make us second cousins!
I have a photo of him sitting in his racing sulky with one of his trotting horses outside the farmhouse in Nova Scotia.

Mary,
I sent you a private message, thanks so much for your response. I forgot to ask which of James I children are you descended from?
Regards,
Pam
