Can you clarify - was Charles born in NS or Lynn, MA ?

Charles - or hi father - likely came from Yarmouth County at the tip of NS (nearest to USA). I believe there is a local place called Cann's Corner in Yarmouth County, but don't know exactly where (most likely places are around Pembroke, South Ohio, Hebron [HEE-brun], or around the Carleton/Kemptville area).

Check out some of your kinfolk in the phone book - www.canada411.com - under "Nova Scotia" and with phone numbers starting with 742-749,761-,649-.
