Nova Scotia actually means "New Scotland" and many of the early settlers were immigrants from Scotland. Georgie grew up in Pictou County, Nova Scotia. A group of early settlers arrived on the sailing ship Hector in 1793. Was she a direct descendent of one of those that made the 11 week trip across the Atlantic? Hopefully I will find out....
