For those interested in tracing relatives who may have lived in Inverness
County, Cape Breton, the following extract may prove helpful.

Extract from the Jan/Feb 2002 issue of The Participaper:

Isle of Mull and Inverness County
Increasingly, researchers wish to establish connections with individuals
and organization in locations in Ireland, Scotland, England, France,
etcetera. People are searching, not only for information about their
specific ancestors, but also for background material about the history and
culture of ancestral homes.
A number of emigrants from the Isle of Mull, Inner Hebrides, arrived in
Inverness County in the 1820 - 1830 period, and organizations on the Isle
of Mull are interested in establishing communication with descendants of
these immigrants from Mull.
One of these, the Mull Historical Society, may be reached as follows: Mull
Historical Society, c/o Anne Cleave, Ceadan Dubh, Ulva Ferry, Isle of Mull,
Scotland, PA73 6LY. A newsletter is published and access to various records
may be gained. The subscription is five pounds sterling for overseas members.
Another organization is: Ross of Mull Historical Centre, Pier Road,
Bunessan, Isle of Mull, Scotland, PA73 6LY. Email: .
This group concentrates on the history and the families of the southern
part of the island, the Ross of Mull, and offers a research service and
operates a display centre at an old mill in Bunessan. The Ross of Mull
Historical Society has a membership list of two hundred and sixty and may
be joined through sending a fee of five pounds sterling.
A website, designed to assist research into family history for those whose
ancestors hail from Mull, is highlighted later in these pages.
In order to provide those organizations with the names of families
emigrating from Mull and arriving in Inverness County, Nova Scotia, the
following list is prepared. It would be helpful to have additional names
and approximate dates of immigration:
