Montbeliard Immigration to Nova Scotia, 1749-1752. Revised Edition - Paperback

by Terrence M. Punch (Author)

Thousands of Nova Scotians can trace themselves back to Montbéliardais ancestors. At the time and since, Montbéliardais and their descendants have formed part of the perennial stream of Nova Scotians immigrating to the United States. Early cases were the movement of the Jacquin and Malbon families in Maine, Calame and Duvoisin to Pennsylvania, and Coulon and Vuilamet to New York. Later, members of the (Jean)perrin family settled in Ohio. In this book we follow these people from before they immigrated to North America to their establishment on this side of the Atlantic a generation or two afterwards. Revised, corrected, and updated, this edition is based on the recent release of Montbéliard records online, allowing the author to alter some genealogies or carry them back another generation.
