An estimated 30,000 refugees came to Nova Scotia as United Empire Loyalists between 1776 and 1785.

By comparison it has been estimated 10,000 to 18,000 Acadians were deported between 1755 and 1764.

Also, about 8,000 New England Planters migrated to Nova Scotia from 1759 to 1768.

I am not related to any of them, however, my historical research encouraged me to author these four books about the United Empire Loyalists which include information on burial locations of many:
