Immaculate Conception Civil Death Records
West Arichat
Note: Microfilmed at Public Archives of Nova Scotia by the Genealogical Society, Salt Lake City, Utah, 9 Dec 1980. Film Emulsion #1460 119 173 MRD2. Transcribed by Arlene A. MacDonald, March 2004, from microfilm held at Beaton Institute, Sydney, N.S
Special Note: Usually, I do not try to interpret any transcribed records for the group. However, because the West Arichat Deaths are very difficult to place, I offer some thoughts for your consideration. The information should be used only as a guide. If anyone can offer further information, we will certainly appreciate it. Jeanne Belford: jbelford@aol.com
