Message Board Post:

I am looking for a Gardiner family member who may have had slaves back in the 1700's to the early 1800's. My family members are Gardiners from Halifax, Nova Scotia area and I have not been able to trace anyone other than my ggrandfather, George Gardiner who was born in 1860 in Halifax. His mother was a Carter, but we don't know his father's first name or anything about his origins. Some relatives have said it was Samuel or Parkman, others say it was William (that was his firstborn son's name. We do know by photos that George's mother was VERY fair with blue or green eyes and was probably mulatto or quadroon. His father (my elusive gggrandfather) was obviously a darker man because my ggrandfather was medium brown with the same light eyes as his mother. My gggrandfather MUST have been a slave belonging to one of the Gardiners in that area. ANY helpful info is appreciated.
