It is my hope to trace my Paternal Roots back 'cross the water.

I am uncertain of our exact British lineage and have lost our connection in the early 1800's. To the best of my  present knowledge, it seems we were settled in Lower Island Cove, Newfoundland by then and began to spread  our Roots. 
 My particular line of Reid ancestors made a home for themselves in Cape Breton, NS. It is there that the Acadian and Scottish lines enter into my tree. Both giving us a rich and well documented,diverse, historical connection to the early settlement of the  Maritimes.
  
 Where were our Reid's before Lower Island Cove, CB, Newfoundland? What is the name of the town our original Reid anscestors called home before coming here, to the New World?  These are a few of the questions I hope to answer.

I am desperately trying to fill in some of the spaces and I look forward to information sharing. Please do not  hesitate to contact me with anything helpful, or request access for your own research.

Thanks in Advance. 

Just a note to my family who will be assisting in administration of this site with me....

Please forgive me if I have some names/dates mixed up. Please help me amend any mistakes I have made and  most importantly help me to fill in the blanks.

I look forward to making our branches complete.

Cheers
