ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
This profile and those of my siblings and parents were created by M.Nason with information taken from the book listed below. Thanks Mark for the hard work you put into this.
When browsing what I have added to this site (over 500 profiles so far) you may see comments such as "Unsourced family tree handed down to Stuart Ward." In fact, that is just an easy way out of not listing all my sources. In the 80s and 90s I created much of my database using myriad of resources but in large part from sharing resources with people like Robert Nelson Ward and his father the late Hap Ward, Doug Ayer[1] and the late historian, Jim Snowdon. I don't always credit them in my pages but please know that their help was extensive and appreciated. Without their help, this would have been much harder. I also want to thank my brother Jeff Ward who often adds flesh to the bone through his own research and also acts as my memory when mine gives out. He also provided most of the pictures that I've put up.
NOTABLE LINEAGES
Several of my cousins have pointed out recently that we have royal descents. I usually don't pay much attention to them as they usually indicate errors or fraudulent lineages that will eventually be corrected.
However, in the table below, I've indicated which lines may have royal or noble lineages. I've marks these lines with "*". Many lines extend to Puritans so I won't mark them. There are no Mayflower ancestors so there's no point looking for them. There are connections to several US presidents and Prime Ministers and most signers of the Magna Carta. These are not marked. My brother Jeff has a list of more recent notable relatives on his profile.
No warranty is expressed or implied.
IMMIGRANT ANCESTORS TO CANADA
The biggest mysteries on this list are Rebecca Wilson Maxwell, Nancy Goff, Nem Cone, Catherine MacFarland and Catherine Purdy, and of course, Wesley Scott and the wives of Michael and John Lutes..
Note that many of the destinations were to present day New Brunswick. If the migration took place before 1784, then I call it Nova Scotia. None of these were technically in Canada as this was all pre-confederation. The most recent immigrants were Thomas and Sarah Smith from Bermuda in 1861.
The migrations I mention need a little explanation.
- Planter: For the most part, these are New Englanders that migrated to Nova Scotia in the post Acadian period of 1760-1775. Some are Irish or German that simply passed through New England after a brief stay. Planters also include people directly from Europe in the 1749 to 1760 period.
- Irish: These would be immigrants directly from Ireland and mostly took place in the 1820s. They didn't all move for the same reasons but are part of a larger movement from Ireland to North America caused by English policy affecting the Irish ability to survive in their own land. My own Irish ancestors all came from Norther Ireland and all have roots in Scotland, probably the result of earlier clearances.
- Scottish Clearances: These migrants came as the result of tenants being less valuable than sheep. Most happened in a specific time period very similar to the Irish.
- Missionary: This refers specifically to Thomas and Sarah Smith who came from Bermuda to do missionary work in Nova Scotia and they retired in Truro.
- Loyalist: These would be loyal Americans that came to Canada once the war was lost. Typically this migration peaked in 1783. My Loyalist ancestors were all from Westhester, NY and likely were all in Delancy's Brigade which settle in Nova Scotia.
- Yorkshire: A subset of the Planters, these came as a distinct group direct from Yorkshire to Chignecto, mostly around 1775.
Also, note that some Planter immigrants and some of their children died back in New England. (Ward, Salisbury, Maxwell, Tower, Ayer, etc.) Loyalism works both ways, although some may have just been homesick. Luckily they all left at least one child behind.

TARTANS and COATS OF ARMS
Tartans
These are the Tartans I use for background images for my Scottish ancestors. The tartan I use on this page is the Nova Scotia Tartan which is in my image list. The Nova Scotia tartan can be used by anyone with a connection to Nova Scotia.

(I can't confirm if my Smith line is Scottish since I can't trace them past Bermuda. Smith ancestors have declared themselves Scottish in census reports and since a tartan exists, I'll use it.) A few options exist.

Coats of Arms
These are not family specific and there is no one in my family tree that has a personal Coat of Arms except for ancient ancestors, however, following are the ones I'm using for background images for profiles. I only use these when a Tartan doesn't exist. For my own background I use the Nova Scotia Coat of Arms which is also displayed on my profile.

thanks very much for creating initial profiles for roderick macgregor and janet chisholm! they are my 3x great grandparents. btw i have not had much luck finding janet's ancestors. with best regards, william ross iii
I have been working with the Data Doctor's project. I noticed that you are the profile manager for Moses Delesdernier Delesdernier-38.
One of his sons, Albert Delesdernier Delesdernier-74 and family had very incomplete records. Three of his children did not have a gender assigned. I did the research on these profiles and populated the family with sources and made updates to the records. This is where I could use your help. Could you adopt these family members, they are orphaned?
The reason they need adopting is the Name at Birth needs to be changed for Albert, wife and the rest of their family. The profile manager is the only one that can change that information and thought it would be a good fit since you are already managing Moses. The name Deles Dernier was taken directly off of the children's birth records (viewing the actual documents - not as indexed). All the family members need to be updated for Albert, wife and children.
In updating these records, I had to change all of the children's names, added dates, and places or locations of birth/death, etc. I created a Research Notes section for each record to comment on any name changes. Please change any of these records as you like.
Other notes: When the children get married, it seems like the family changes their names to Dernier (dropping Deles - even the parents). Another fun fact, a European ancestor's last name was De Les Dernier (which make more sense to me).
One final thought, I reviewed your profile before sending this message. Now, that is an impressive profile. You give me inspiration to improve the records of my family!
Thank you for all you do at WIkiTree! Jay Klock [Klock-93]

Thanks again, Jay
It’s time for a Project check-in!
Scotland Project Leaders check in with you at least once a year to see how you are doing. With the changes happening around the world, we understand that life is hectic right now.
What are you planning to work on for the Scotland Project this year? Are you happy with the team(s) you part of, or would you like to make some changes?
This time round, we’re also looking for feedback on the use of Google Group and Discord. Do you use one or both of these? If you don’t use either of them, what is the best way to ensure you receive Project communications? If you would like to join us on Google Group or Discord, let us know in your response.
Also, there is no need to "sign" edits on a biography. Your contributions appear in the change logs of the profile, and are amply appreciated.

You may wish to merge the following ID 22343 and ID40082 as they appear to be the same person.
On the Calhoun family, I am afraid I dont have much. There is the proposal around their Irish origins on various trees but not sure how proven.
They appear to be the lone Irish on my father's mother's side but may end up confused into DNA matches with my father's father's side.
I may have mass adopted these profiles - so you would recommend that I merge them?
My matches and interrelationships in Nova Scotia where I now live centre around Newcombe, Fitch, Rand, Bishop, Eaton, Cogswell, Woodworth and Whipple

Thanks for choosing the Ireland Project.
The Ireland Project (previously the Irish Roots Project) has now changed its structure into Teams. We require everyone with the Ireland Badge to be a member of at least one Team or Sub-Team and our google group. See https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Project:Ireland for details. The Teams are :-
? Can you let me know which team(s) youd like to join.
Many thanks,
Maria
We realise the time has come to dissolve the UK Project in favour of the individual country projects of England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland.
We are checking in with all UK badge holders to find out which country project(s) you would like to be in so you can collaborate with other members, have the opportunity to select which team(s) you would like to join, and so we can ensure you have all the correct badges.
Please respond by PM to let us know which country project(s) you would like to be in. Please dont assume we know. We are effectively starting from scratch to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
Once you have done this, the Coordinator for Membership in the relevant country project(s) will be in touch to help get you situated.
Many thanks,
Susie
