AFFIDAVIT

IN THE MATTER of the application for the Registration of the Birth of Cecilia JosephineMacKinnon

Born at Little Bras d'Or, South Side in the County of Cape Breton

That Cecilia JosephineMacKinnon Whose Birth is sought to be registered was

born at Little Bras d'Or, South Side Cape Breton County on March 8, 1923

My knowledge of the fact and date of such Birth is based on the following Circumstances:

Being a close relative of the young lady and sixteen years older than her. I have known her all her life. Her birth stands out because of the fact that she was born shortly after the family left North Sydney and settled in Little Bras d'Or - and since I was always closely associated with the family - that date stands out. (Certificate of Baptism attached)
