Wow, Nova Scotia - "Black Loyalists, Black Refugees were given land, but no title, in 1775 and 1812." What a story and it's not over even though it's been 200 years! http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/nova-scotia/legal-title-black-loyalists-north-preston-1.4309505
This article caught my eye as I am just now preparing to teach a course on finding, interpreting, and using Saskatchewan land records. 200 years is shocking! Anyone interested in my course can read about it here - just scroll down to "FREE LAND" http://patryangenealogy.blogspot.ca/2017/08/
Cheers,
Pat
