From: Carroll Armstrong <carrolla@cnova.net>

I am an amateur genealogist in Middle Musquodoboit, N.S.  I am very much
aware of the interest of researchers in being able to access the
out-of-publication 2vol. set of "MUSQUODOBOIT PIONEERS . . .") by the
late Jennie Reid.  I have contact with a family member and have taken it
upon myself to gather suggestions as to how we might make this large
collection of genealogical data and local history available in the
public domain without re-publishing it.  I knew Jennie personally, and
she once told me she had no intentions of ever publishing it again, but
in the spirit of true genealogists, wanted it to be freely available to
all those who have an interest in history.  The book has no index and is
difficult to follow -- the manuscript is over 800 pages of typewritten
text -- 2 pages per each legal-sized sheet.  I know it would be much
easier to search in electronic format.
At this time, my only involvement is to gather suggestions and present
them to the family; as far as I am concerned, the ultimate decision is
theirs to make.  I have seen some of the online documents presented via
Chebucto and would welcome any suggestions you may have.
