  • Name Jacob KUHN  [2] 
    • According to Winthrop Bell, he has concluded that Jacob KUHN or Heinrich Kuhn (SR.) are likely the same person, referencing the pattern of changing forenames in records such as the Victualling List. The Heinrich Kuhn who appears in records past 1750/52 is clearly the son of this Jacob Heinrich and who was part of the family group who sailed from Rotterdam in 1750. At this time, definitive conclusions have not been validated and research is ongoing. [1]

ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024. ENTRIES FOR SOME GENEALOGIES WILL NOT REFLECT SOURCE CITATIONS AS THE RESEARCH WAS STILL IN PROGRESS. The Friends of McNabs Island Society, a registered charity based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, established this genealogical website partly in response to the growing interest in family history research and enquiries arising from that interest. Volunteers with professional genealogical experience have undertaken the research. To the degree possible, the research follows accepted standards of genealogical research, with appropriate evidence and source citations.
