Comments: Great idea to give patrons the opportunity to express their feelings on the homosexual marriage issue. Hope everyone, on either side, will use those e-mail addresses to do so.

Comments: From your home page I found the Yarmouth weather cam, located at the Port Matland exit to the main highway to the Valley. I installed the page on my desk top. It's always the first thing I check when I turn on my computer in the morning. Also usually check Avonport, as my wife went to school there, from Hantsport. I have even sent the URL to a few friends originally from Yarmouth, now living all over the place. 

Comments: Reading up to refresh my memory of the Pubnicos, where I'm from.  Great website.

Comments: Hello.  I was born in Yarmouth in July 1969 to Gail Warrington.  She lived there with her parents Frank and Jessie.  For a time I lived with Lois Nickerson out by the fish and chip wagon.  I'm looking for any information anyone may have on a Nathan Brown.  My mother says that he is my biological father and that he died at sea while she was still carrying me.  Could someone please contact me with any news possible?  Thanks ever so much.

PS If your interested on seeing where a piece of home may roam...google search HMCS Montreal and check out the web site.

Thanks again

Comments: I LIVE in Yarmouth and today I received an e-amil from a fellow stained glasser from INDIANNA , questioning the validity of this story!

MAN how things fly or travel or walk or whatever, but these stories do get around!

I do know it is true and it did happen right here in Yarmouth,  the Captain of the boat, standing back to in the first photo happens to be my husbands cousin, Bernard Tedford.
Altho he was not personally responsible for the "catch" , a crewman of the boat was.
Yarmouth is very proud of it's fisherman and so we are all"sticking" up for this Yarmouthonians historical "CATCH"!
GREAT WORK GUYS!

Comments: I know the Milbury boys! They are my neighbours here at Mount Allison University. 

Comments: i visited yarmouth in 2000 for 2 months and loved every single minute of it!  when my boyfriend and i finally decide to get married, we will have our wedding wither at Port Maitland beach or at the lighthouse, i haven't decided yet.  it has been almost 5 years since i was there, and i long to return.  My son and i are planning a 2 week visit in summer of 2006.  I wish this next year would go as fast as last so the time will fly.  I made lots of friends in Yarmouth and plan to see them all when i return. Yarmouth and Cape Forchu, to me, are the most beautiful places on this earth!

Comments: Bernice and I are planing a trip to Yarmouth this summer in June and will be staying in Deerfield for the month. We want to see our old friends as I moved from there in 1947. Click on to Communities of Nova Scotia and then Deerfield.
This will bring up Dad's farm (The Hatfield Place) Hope to see you then. Or drop me a call on the Web.

Comments: I am the Great Grand Daughter of Mr Richard Robert Burridge, born at Yarmouth on 29th August 1849 and who settled in Albany Western Australia in 1868. His father's name was Ambrose Burridge. If anyone has any information regarding Burridge's still living in Yarmouth I would be interested in contacting them to help with the Family Tree.

Thank you    Carol Gill (Nee Burridge)

Comments: nice website.............Pretty location, oh course, my home town

Comments: Orginally from Wedgeport.....nice website!

Comments: Hi there.  I'm looking for some information on a house that was supposed to be haunted.  It was on Main Street.  Some folks called it The Captain's House, some called it The Widow's Walk, (I'm told).  Apparently there was bagpipe music and strange lights involved.  I know, I know, sounds like a typical Yarmouth Friday night.

I'd appreciate any info anybody can offer me.  I'm a local storyteller, and I'm looking for a good Yarmouth ghost story.  The Churchill house has been done to death.  I heard this one when I was a teenager down in Yarmouth, but my memory is betraying me. 
Thanks.

Hi Godfrey,
Thanks for all of your help.  I've e-mailled a note to the lady who posted on your message board, and am currently trying to track down a contact number for Linda Campbell, Heritage Coordinator.  Having a fun morning hunting.  Research is surprisingly enjoyable. It's funny how many links I hit on Google lead me back to your guestbook.  I hope Yarmouth realizes what a valuable asset that book is.  Many thanks.    Steve

Comments: I'm a police officer here in New york and while reading Michelle Eddy's essay on wellington, a flood of nostalgia came over me. You see, I was born in Yarmouth and was raised in wellington. Our house was on the main rd just across from the Burell rd or the road to Sandford. I went to a one room school where Erma Watkins taught primer through ninth grade. I think there were about a dozen of us in total. After the 2nd grade they bussed us to Hebron. We attended Sunday school in the hall where Gladys Cann would play the organ.We would float log rafts on Willie Pearce's mill pond and fish for trout in the stream that flowed from it.It was a Tom Sawyer, Huck Finn life for me and the Patten boys who were our neighbors and as Michelle described, the changing seasons brought awe and amazement to a boy of eight or nine. (Willie, his brother Vernon and their sister Ethel, were all killed in a tragic accident at the Bluenose terminal in 1973. That was a sad day). I worked on John Jensen's farm in the summer, stowing hay and milking cows. On saturday night we would go to Yarmouth to see the movies after which we would go to Toots Hatfield's for candy and comic books. Occasionally we'd be lucky enough to go to the Bright Spot for a slab of rappi pie .( I'm the only one in NY who knows what it is and I still make it as often as possible). My grandparents lived in Port Maitland and sometimes I would walk up there to spend the weekend and fish on the wharf with my grandfather. In the fall we would go to the exhibition at the Yarmouth fair grounds. Chester Watkin's oxen would usually take first prize in the haul. In 1959, when I was in the sixth grade, my mother moved us here to NY. After high school I joined the Navy and spent six years riding submarines. After that I spent seven years driving a truck. I've been a cop here for the last 24 years and hope to retire in the near future. I last visited Nova Scotia about five years ago and hope to get back soon. You may leave there but I promise you, it doesn't leave you. If any of those old trails still wander the woods to Sunday Lake, follow them. You will then know the memories of which I speak. God Bless You All!!!

Comments: Great fotos of Isle Madame!  I had the pleasure of visiting the island in the summer of 2003 seeking my Acadian roots.  My maternal great grandmother was from Arichat and I felt  lured to Isle Madame because of that newly discovered link and also because it was love at first sight when I spotted it on a map. Great site!  Learned about it from listserv.
