Assembled by P. D. Crowe,Whitmaniac
Inspired by my photographer grandfather, Aubrey S. Whitman, who
was born in Canso in 1888, I've made this page devoted to some of the Whitman
family pictures I have from my files and yours.
I never met Aubrey; he died before I was born. I like to think he would enjoy
the thought of his photos being shared with other Whitman families, and that
they are part of this collection.
Any additions to the album are most welcome!
If you would like to contribute to this album but are unable to email your
items to me, please contact me
about sending a copy by postal mail. Thankyou! Pictures should be of any
Whitman family members or direct relatives or of Whitman related items, such as
professions, historical documents or items, old locations, etc.
PEOPLE: Portraits of family members; photos or
drawings.
PLACES: Any photos of towns, homesteads, land grants,
museums, etc.

The following pages are made up of old postcards and pictures of things and
places from Nova Scotia. I started collecting them a while ago on ebay and
decided to share them with you here. There is not much information on the
pages, basically just the name of the place and a larger picture. If you'd like
to volunteer to write a caption for the picture, please do!
Just EMAIL ME with
what you've written and I will post it with your name as the submitter of the
information.
Here are the first pages of this new category:
Halifax Explosion (many pictures, takes a little longer to load) |
This is a new category I have just opened up; a page for Whitman cemetery
markers. Pleasecontact
me if you have a contribution to share. Many people are incapable of
travelling to where the grave marker might be seen, so this is an easy passage
to places that hold much sentimental and historical value.
Here are the first pages of this new category:
Spinney Whitman's Grave, Old Burying Ground, Canso, NS, Canada |
Caroline Nelson Harris Whitman; wife of Spinney Whitman, Old Burying Ground, Canso, NS, Canada |
