I am a long time dabbler in family research, I have lots of info that I am still trying to verify. Currently I am trying to verify my 6th GGF Joseph Denico, I have labored under the assume that he may have been French, Someone gave me a new clue that he may have been Basque (DeNisco). Joseph was born in 1735 in NS and deported to the MA (now ME) in 1755 in the grand dispersion by the English.
