Hello -
I am doing some research on the Beattie's from Pictou as my husband's mother was a Beattie.
Her maternal grandfather was Gordon, b 1873, who apparently (from what I am reading today) moved to the Boston area with his family .
Gordon worked for the railroad, married a Mary Luke of Boston, and lived in Chelsea, MA.
Our Beattie, Francis H, was born in 1899. I believe they had two other sons, though I need to verify. Gordon died in 1903 from an accident while on the job.
My husband and I will be visiting Nova Scotia in August and are planning at least one day in Pictou to see if we can learn more about the Beattie's that he is related to.
If there is more data that has been gathered since 2011, we would love to hear of it and will share
what we learn as well. Thank You.
