Nicholson, Carolyn: - Carolyn Nicholson was born and raised in Nova Scotia, but it wasn't until she began years of research into her Nova Scotia ancestors that she discovered how deep her roots were there. This led to this, her first book. She is a graduate of Mount St. Vincent University and the Atlantic School of Theology, as well as the Halifax Infirmary School of Health Information Management, and has worked in both these fields as well as teaching at the post-secondary level. She is currently retired and has completed her second book about her ancestors, with the working title of: Traitors, Cannibals, Highlanders, and Vikings. Carolyn lives in Halifax and continues to research her Nova Scotia roots, in the company of her three sisters, who are always happy to go with her on her research adventures.
