Lake Milo. My father was the General Manager when the property was operated

Comments: i'm 65 and have never been to NOVA SCOTIA. Iknow i have an
awful lot of relatives that I've never met. Ijust kind of stumbled upon
this website so you can imagine my reaction seeing my name mentioned.I
must say reading the history of how our family evolved makes me very proud
to have the same blood.I'm still kind of numb after reading about the events.

Comments: Hi,
Date: 6/6/2004 Name: JoAnne Meuse Pritchard Location: Maryland, USA E-Mail: pritchards3@msn.com Comments: Believe my Meuse ancestors came to Miramichi area of New Brunswick
from Nova Scotia in the early 1800's and then to the State of Maine in
the 1890's. Have read the history of Philippe Muis d'Entremont and the
settlement of Acadians in the Pubnico area and wondered about the possibly
interesting story of our Muis/Meuse family name history and a rumored family
tradition of Micmac ancestors from my grandfather born in New Brunswick.
My husband and I visited the Yarmouth area (via the Blue nose Ferry) many,
many years ago camping and drivng to New Brunswick --memorable trip but
no time for family history. Today our daughter is very interested in her
Meuse roots and is doing research in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
Like your site . Keep up the good work.

Date: 6/20/2004 Name: Paul Goldring Location: Chegoggin, Yarmouth Co. E-Mail: oginword03@eastlink.ca Comments: I enjoyed your pictures of Broad Brook. The marshes and lands along the brook are an important part of Yarmouth's environment and could become parkland, I feel. I kayaked down Broad Brook in the early spring of 2004. It is quite easy to paddle when the water is high, except for a stretch on both sides of the Wyman Road, where the alders and other trees have taken over. We have pictures of that trip. Paul Goldring
Date: 6/20/2004 Name: Dan Earle Location: Yarmouth E-Mail: dearle@auracom.com Comments: I think it is great that there is now a section on Broad
Brook on this web site. This is the Town's only free flowing, freshwater
stream. It is bordered by wetlands and floodplains. This area
is valuable to the Town for flood control, groundwater replenishment, sediment
and nutrient retention, water purification, wildlife and plant biodiversity,
recreation and tourism, and our own cultural history. It would be wonderful
to preserve and restore this brook as a public open space and park with
walks and overlooks along it.
