Thank you so much for the information. My Grandfather an ancestors came from Maryadole, St. Andrews, Antigonish. We are the MacDonald (McBride) clan, I understand my family ancestors are know in NS as Pioneers. Guess that is a very distinctive title. I hope to do more family research as they arrive in 1690, and were part of the St. Andrews Catholic Church Parish. As I stated in my original post, my grandfather, uncle and father use to attend the games and loved it. Good info about the Halifax event, I will look into that too....Thanks.
