Nova Scotia

Lorraine grew up in beautiful and historic Nova Scotia and lived, for a time, near Yarmouth. Anyone with roots in Nova Scotia should visit Archway, a website developed and maintained by Nova Scotia's Council of Archives, which helps researchers identify pertinent historical records held in archives across the province.  For example, you can search the Archway photographic database by keyword (like Yarmouth) to view historic images.

Newspaper Announcements of the Wedding

Jessie Collins, the mother of the bride, wrote several announcements about the wedding, which she sent to newspapers in Nova Scotia, including the Yarmouth Light and the Yarmouth Herald . (Images can be enlarged, for reading, by clicking on them.)
