PROVERB:  To forget your ancestors is to be a stream without a source and a tree without roots.

My name is Wade Dimock.  For years we have been trying to determine our  ancestory, past my Great Grandfather Lebaron Dimock.  We knew that he was from  St. Martins, NB, but were unable to find any family records. On Apr. 18, 2003  I had some help from Anne Geall, who holds the records to the census of 1881  for the county of St. John in New Brunswick.  This turned out to be an  important key. 
 Not only did we find out who his parents were, but also that he had a brother  and a sister.  Hopefully in putting this record out we can find out what  happened to the rest of the Dimock`s. In memory of my father Donald Frank  Dimock.


When I retired in 2012 I started work on the other branches of my family.  Notably my paternal Grandmother Eileen Raincock, my maternal grandfather Howard Cyr and my maternal Grandmother Angele Piche.

In my research I found that the Cyr family and Dimock family almost crossed paths between 1740 and 1760.   The Cyr family headed by Louis Cyr were pushed out of Acadia by the English and fled to Isle St. Jean (PEI) around 1740.  After the British relocated the French Acadians they enticed people from New England with promises of free cleared farm land to populate Nova Scotia.  The Dimock family headed by Shubael Dimock arrived in Nova Scotia in 1760 and settled in the same area that had been abandoned by the Cyr family.
