| Notes |
- 07 Apr 2001 - MacKenzie on page 159 refers to Bishop Fraser. Rev. Johnston on page 431 in the "History of the Catholic Church in Eastern Nova Scotia" provided many details of his early years in Scotland and Spain. Rev. Johnston pointed out that Bishop Fraser could speak nine Languages; Latin, Greek, Spanish, Italian, English, Gaelic, Irish, French & Micmac. Rev. Johnston thought that the Ship which carried Bishop Fraser to Nova Scotia was the "Commerce" of Greenock, which arrived at Plaster Cove (now Port Hastings) in 1822, along with settlers from Muck.
DJC recollects that on Bishop Fraser's Headstone in St. Andrews were inscribed Strawberry Bushes as the name Fraser is derived from the French word for Strawberry; "Fraise." His remains are however under the high altar of St. Ninian's Cathedral in Antigonish.
10 May 2001 - Donald "Og' stated that he died on October 11, 1851 not on the 4th.
11 May 2001 - Bishop Fraser is referred to by Colin Chisholm(7) in his memo to Mrs Angus Beaton from Rear Little Judique.
15 May 2001 - Reference page 431, Vol 1, in the History of the Catholic Church in Eastern Nova Scotia,
