Things I Learned About My Nova Scotia Roots (in Ohio)

In 2016, I visited my maternal aunt in Ohio. I had not been there in forty years! My mother Dawn (Creighton) Moynahan had passed away thirty-five years ago and then I moved even farther away to Sudbury!

It had been a very long, long time and drove there with my other maternal aunt (my aunt Deb) and when we arrived, my aunt Barb shared her home, her hospitality, some wonderful photos and cherished stories with me. I am so grateful. It was a trip that I will never forget.

Below, I will try to summarize, in twenty-five words or less, a few of the things that I learned.

"Tufts Cove" Should Be Spelled "Toughs Cove"

Between 1929 and 1941, my mother and her Creighton siblings
were born in Tuft's Cove, Nova Scotia.
