By Stewart C. Langille
This digital Fifth Edition of Stewart C. Langille’s classic history and genealogical book dedicated to the Langille family of Nova Scotia is based upon his previously privately published Fourth Edition (1983-84).

There are two parts to this edition: History of the Langille Family and a copy of the original Handwritten Ancestral Records and Hand Drawn Diagrams.
The creation of this new digital edition has also led to the development of our Explore Resources section of a highly searchable museum grade content management system providing for FREE Society Guest Members online access to nearly 5,000 digital Ancestral Records of NOT ONLY the Langille family members, BUT also of many other Foreign Protestants Founding Family members related by marriage to the Langilles.

Little Dutch Church 1895 (HALIFAX)
The Little Dutch (Deutsch) Church is the second oldest building in Halifax, Nova Scotia, after St. Paul’s evangelical Anglican church. The church was built for the Foreign Protestants who first landed in Halifax starting in 1749 before then later in 1753 being transported by ships sailing to Lunenburg, Nova Scotia. It was adapted as a church in 1756 and consecrated in 1760. It is the oldest known surviving church in Canada associated with the German-Canadian Community. Nearly 60% of all the original Foreign Protestants were German.
The Halifax Citadel
THE HALIFAX CITADEL National Historic Park Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
This is an actual multi-page informational 11 page booklet with maps, pictures, and information.
Halifax was founded in 1749 to provide a base for the British Navy and Army and a springboard for attack on the French at Louisbourg and Quebec, because the final contest between France and England for possession of the North American continent was clearly approaching. Citadel Hill was always the innermost keep and chief land defence of the Halifax Fortress. Four forts were built, at different periods, on its summit.
A Family Tree of Westhavers
Rev. Clyde Westhaver who was not only a close friend of Dr. Chris Young, but also a collaborator in a number of Foreign Protestants joint works.
Nova Scotia-A Brief History by Phyllis Ruth Blakley
This now out-of-print book was originally used for many years primarily in the 5th and 6th grades to provide the Nova Scotia school children with an accurate and engaging brief overview of their Province’s important history. We are making this current online digital copy available of her book to all our FREE Guest Members for two very important reasons:
- Students & Their Teachers: To again have available this very important brief, but still very accurate historical and cultural information about the history of Nova Scotia not only for the young people of Nova Scotia, but also of all of Canada and North America, home to millions of Foreign Protestants descendants.
- Adults: In as much as this book is a very engaging and quick read for adults, it as a fun and accurate source of information for those individuals either descendants of or those interested in the Foreign Protestants.
Phyllis Blakeley's contributions to Nova Scotian history and to the archival profession in Canada will not soon be forgotten. A generation of schoolchildren first developed an interest in their provincial history through her textbooks. Two generations of pupils were captivated by her witty and enthusiastic school tours through the old Archives building on the Dalhousie campus. And a multitude of university students and faculty have been inspired by her great love—the=story of our past, which she presented as a gift to all those who wished to learn. *Excerpt from Phyllis’ 1986 obituary in the International Journal of Education by L. Kernighan.
