Nicholaus Laux/Lauck married Anna Elisabetha Reiffenberger, and they immigrated in 1709 (probably from Germany) to Germantown (now Columbia County), New York. George Loucks (b.ca.1770), a direct descendant in the fourth generation, was a United Empire Loyalist who immigrated to Fredericksburgh, Ontario. There he married Sarah (Sally) Lyons in 1792, and settled on land near Camden, Lennox & Addington County, Ontario. Descendants and relatives lived in Ontario and elsewhere. Includes a biography of Bertha Luella (Loucks) May (1886-1977), who married William A. May Sr. (d.1931). Also includes some ancestry in Ireland.

Ontario was known as "Upper Canada" from 1791 to 1841.

Where do you find evidence of the Loyalist History of Nova Scotia? After the American Revolution approximately 30,000 United Empire Loyalists, individuals who had remained loyal to the British cause, came as refugees to what is now Nova Scotia. Since the Spring of 2014 I have travelled the province of Nova Scotia exploring sites related to the settlement of United Empire Loyalists. I have taken thousands of photographs, prepared dozens of videos, and authored many historical articles using information learned from my visits. The purpose of this book is to share the information I have discovered on my historical explorations. This book includes descriptions and photographs of Buildings, Cairns, Cemeteries, Churches, Gravestones, Monuments, and Forts connected to the United Empire Loyalists. Brian McConnell
