This work is dedicated to my mother who got me started. She simply wanted to 
know if I could find any information on her father John Ezekial Schofield who 
was killed in WW1. I think I've fulfilled her request. I would appreciate 
any corrections as not all information has been verified. I will try and 
add notes to those I knew personally or have been told stories about so you 
get to know my family as people not just names. My sources come from census 
records, obituaries, township records, hours of research at the Kentville 
Historical Society, family members and others. A special thanks to Sherry 
Comeau and Ruth Spencer. For simplicity reasons I have spelled all my Keizer 
surnames the same way. However, members of my family used Kaizer, Kaiser, 
Kayser and others. Check out the photos, I will be updating them. Have fun 
with the relationship tool. DON'T FORGET TO SIGN MY GUEST BOOK. Thanks for 
dropping in :)

Historical Notes
The Coldwell (Caldwell), Jordan, Ells, Bill, Bennett, Schofield, Mosher, 
Thompson and Allen families arrived in Nova Scotia prior to the American 
Revolution. They were known as Planters, and old English term for colonist. I 
am a direct descendant of all these families. The Mersereau and Hoyt families 
that settled New Brunswick were Loyalist. The Kirkpatrick family came from 
Ireland. The Young (Jung), Emmeneau, Keizer, Swinemar, Rafuse, Barkhouse and 
Knickle families were all part of the families that came from Germany and 
France and 
help found the town of Lunenburg, N.S. All these families I directly 
descend from.
I also have family that originally came from Scotland, Wales, and England. I 
will list them later.
