I saw my ex-wife last night. She and her father have been researching their family history. It turns out her Great Grandfater was Ben Henneberry of Devil's Island, Nova Scotia. Ben Henneberry was one of the sources used by Helen Creighton in her collecting.

Ain't life odd?

There's an article on him. Retrospective Repertoire Analysis: The Case Study of Ben Henneberry [sic], Ballad Skinger [sic] of Devil's Island, Nova Scotia by Diane Tye (Canadian Journal for Traditional Music, 1988).

Thanks for the article. I'm not sure what I was thinking of when I started this thread but if anyone else knows anything about the Henneberry family from Devil's Island, Nova Scotia, it would be great to hear from you. I'm no longer married to the woman but her family past is also the family past for my children. They should know where they come from.
