This book is a genealogical record of some of the pioneer families who settled in the Mabou and District area of Cape Breton. In addition to genealogies of Mabou families, the book also offers biographical sketches of prominent ecclesiastics, a history of the Parish of Mabou, and a brief reflection on the compiling of genealogies. Mabou Pioneers is an indispensible reference to the genealogy of this remarkable Cape Breton community.
