Hi Carroll,

Sounds like a fabulous project.  I'm in the midst of my own 
genealogical research (Sumara family emigrated from Czechoslovakia in 
1904), and know the importance of this to many people.

I'm wondering if you have had contact with the Genealogical 
Association of Nova Scotia, and whether they have expressed any 
interest? (URL below)

CCN would be pleased to host the publication on-line, we would just 
need to find
- someone to direct the project of turning it into a 
publicly-accessible document
- either volunteers to do the technical work,
- or funding to hire someone to do it

The minimum effort involved would be to scan the 800 pages and 
publish the site as one big sequential text file.  Easy, but a 
tedious first step.

Any funding from Heritage Canada (do they still exist?).

In any event, I'd be happy to continue a discussion with you around 
the possibilities.

Best regards,
