Hi I'm also on the same search. I was told my grandfather Matthew Gallant was a Micmac native born in pei but was sent to Halifax at a young age. I was raised in Ontario and never met him but I'm now trying to make the connection. At my best guest he would have been born in the late 1800's or real early 1900's. So if in your search if there has been any info that sounds familer let me know thanks a lot J Gallant
