I've had an interest in genealogy since the first time I laid eyes on a family tree that my older Sister made for a History project. I think I was about 7 or 8 years old at that time. No idea why that memory sticks in my head, it's just one of those things!
I started taking the job of family genealogist seriously in about 2017. I am one of the lucky ones, as all 4 of my Grandparents were still living and able to contribute valuable information to my research (my grandfather Frank has since passed on). With the family genealogy relatively complete I dove in and really started doing genealogy on all kinds of profiles around Nova Scotia, Canada.

I am hoping that you can help me with some Lunenburg information. I have been trying, for quite some time, to find out about the early life of Mariah Ernst Banks. Banks-341. I have solid info from her marriage onward, but anything before that is speculation. I'm hoping a fresh pair of eyes and some local knowledge will point me to some resources. I've been wondering if there was a religion change at her marriage or some other undesirable issue to sever links with her family. Of course, poor record keeping could be to blame... Nina
I will have a look at some materials and see if anything makes sense!
Do you know which branch of your family you have in common with *Hughie MK7463763, Trisha Kelly WC2252011, Jonathan Farrell UL5175735, Gordon MacKinnon TA4246866 or *NannyHelen A947980? They seem to be related to me through Tiree, but I don't know how.
My direct Tiree surnames are Campbell (2 branches), MacMillan and MacLean. My direct Skye surnames are MacKinnon and MacInnes (many different spellings for each). My Skye ancestors emigrated to Australia, where I have MANY DNA cousins who have Skye ancestors with those surnames. (One of them seems have married a MacLeod.)
Sincerely, Jeanne Jamieson Stein
I was hopeful you might respond! I will continue to work on this family and try to find the paperwork to link them properly.. there is definitely a relationship. They may not be brothers, but I would guess something like 1st cousins is not out of the question.
The problem of course is that they started to drift apart immediately after arriving in the early 1800s. But they all settled within an area that today is about a half an hour car drive. It'll be a matter of putting together the pieces, but hopefully I can come up with something!
Edit: at a glance it appears that the Catherine you were looking at is probably not the same one. However her father is a John MacIsaac from the Banks so there is still a strong possibility of relation.
Do you know if this MacIntyre family is in the Mabou Pioneers or History of Inverness County books? I will start looking into this, no promises for results immediately as I'll be headed home for the Holidays soon. The problem right now is the Library Archives Canada website had a security breach of some kind and the historic Census reports are down. So tracing families has been quite difficult! Whenever that is resolved I will try to give you some good information.

Thanks for having a big heart and adopting the Orphaned Profiles. This After Adopting Orphans FAQ explains the special attention that adopted profiles will sometimes need.
Let me know if you have any questions on how to find and record sources, merge duplicates, clean up gedcom biographies, and interpret the Suggestions report. I'm here to help!

Shouldn't be a problem for me. I adopted these because I have access to the appropriate resources for these Nova Scotia settlers. Already started sorting about the duplicates and unsourced profiles.
Congratulations on making more than 1,000 contributions to WikiTree for the Month of May. We all appreciate your efforts to make our Shared Tree the best it can be. Keep up the great work and THANK YOU!

I just wanted to suggest that you edit the sources you are adding to the profiles created. They seem to have insufficient data, for example "1881 census" with no identifiers is not adequate. It does not tell anyone where the census was taken a is recorded.
For more information see Sources.

You've been a member of WikiTree for about a week now so I thought I would check in to see how it's going. Have the How-Tos been helpful or left you with questions?
I want to help! Click my name, then ask in the comment section of my page or send me a private message. Sometimes links don't work in emails. If that's happened to you, check the public comments on your profile. The links will work from there.

PS Good work so far! Have you noticed on your ancestor profiles on bottom right is "Research" where you can get sources and more information? Give it a try! For profiles for living people, just go to this link. RootsSearch
