Hi: I believe William Petipas was the brother of my great grandmother Mary Rebecca Pettipas. Mary Rebecca was married to my great grandfather Edward P Johnson - first generation Irish - County Wexford. William Petipas had 3 brothers and 4 sisters. They were born in Tracadie NS to Benjamin Pettipas and Sarah Heney (Heaney) Pettipas. In 1851 the family moved to Bear Cove, NS just outside of Halifax. Sarah was originally from Boston. Benjamin's father was Michel Pettipas. His genealogy goes back to Claude Pettipas in Port Royal ca 1640. He came, they believe from La Rochelle France to the new world. I have more info if you'd like to contact me.
