The Halifax Founding Settlers (1749–1755)

Trace your family’s footsteps on the founding streets of 1749 Halifax, the palisades of Dartmouth, and the original lots of Lunenburg and St. Margaret’s Bay.

The Halifax Founding Settlers (1749–1755) unites the five foundational pillars of early Nova Scotia genealogy—the 1749 Cornwallis Transport Manifests & Whitehall Register, the 1750–1752 Foreign Protestant Passenger Lists, the complete July 1752 Halifax & Dartmouth Householder Census (all 17 pages of Akins’s Appendix F), the August 1752 Hopson’s Regiment Victualling Roll, and the Spring 1753 Halifax Victualling Lists—into a single, cross-referenced A-to-Z biographical dictionary of 534 founding profiles documenting more than 750 named pioneers, spouses, and children.
