Thanks so much for all the new info. Now, I just have to sift through it all. My great-grandfather was Herbert Mattatall 1861-1943. His death certificate states that his father was Thomas Mattatall and his mother was Margaret Hingley. Thomas's father was Peter Mattatall 1782-1870 and Mary Ann Langille 1786-1871. All were born in Tatamagouche, NS. And the hunt goes on!!
