Paul Chisholm was my father. His parents were Hugh John Chisholm (b.1901-12-29 d.1979) of Yarmouth, Nova Scotia and Violet M. Seeley (b.1905-11-11 d.1991-01-18) of Digby, Nova Scotia. The Chisholm side was originally from Antigonish, Nova Scotia.
I have a web site of family genealogy: Paul Chisholm's information is available at: http://www.emmachisholm.com/familytree/getperson.php?personID=I3&tree=EGC Paul Chisholm's great grandfather John "Seoc Buidhe" Chisholm (b.1807-11-19 at Strathglass, Scotland d.1890-12-25 at James River, Nova Scotia) (m.1836-02-10 to Mary McDonald of the Beaver Meadow) came over from Scotland to the Antigonish area of Nova Scotia in 1812 at the age of about 4 or maybe 5 with his parents: his dad's name was Colin, but I unfortunately do not know his mother's name, nor any details on what ship they came over on, nor do I have any information about Colin's ancestors. So if anyone can shed any more light on this family it would be appreciated!
