Welkom tot onze Familie Historie en Genealogie Web Site!

The Reinders family of Nova Scotia originated from Hoogeveen & Zuidwolde in the province of Drenthe, in the Netherlands (Holland). We emigrated to Nova Scotia in July of 1954, onboard the ship "Groote Beer". This tree also includes the family lines of the Zanting, Murray and Browne families.

The Murray Family - Tracing the footsteps of Walter Murray, who emigrated from Sutherlandshire, Scotland aboard the ship "Hector", and who landed at Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1773. It is hoped that someday this family tree will also include Walter's Scottish ancestors and of course all of his descendants.

Recently added families, Brown(e)/Orr and McHarrie/Adams from Wigtownshire, Scotland. Also, have just discovered that George Brown's parents were born in Donaghadee, Ireland. Updated information has also been added for the Hand family from Little Drayton, Shropshire, England.

Our Forum: http://our-family-history.org/discussion/  We hope that this forum will become a focal point for our family website. A place where you will be able to discuss your family tree, genealogy in general, a place to share resources, which programs you use - which you find the best, keep in touch with relatives, or maybe you could use some help finding a lost ancestor here in Nova Scotia...

Our Photo Gallery: www.our-family-history.org/gallery/  A place to store and view photographs of your ancestors, family and a central location to share files with members of the Murray and Reinders family. Registration is required to view images on the site, or to upload files. This has become necessary due to the high number of spammers posting comments on the site.
