Hello.
My husband is a Reid and we are searching for his ancestors.
His g-grandfather was an Abel Reid, born approx. 1901 in Trinity Bay, Newfoundland. We have no knowledge of his parents or any siblings. He is a mystery at this point. We do know that he ended up moving to Nova Scotia at some point and married Celina LeBlanc. They moved to Ontario where they lived and died. Buried in Nova Scotia.
I have been searching online and see that there are many Reid families in Newfoundland.
Are there many different Reid families in Newfoundland or is just about all of these familes descended from some big Reid family from centuries ago?
Please reply if you can help,
also if you know of any great Newfoundland genealogy sites you think may help.
thanks,
Melissa & Scott (Reid)
