All Middle River, Pictou, Nova Scotia Records Incorrectly Mapped to Middle Barneys River

DavidPeterHanson

I am rather disappointed, given so much of my family is from Middle River, Nova Scotia, that your records all force the INCORRECT standardization of Middle River to Middle Barneys River. I am also disappointed that the Middle River, Pictou, Nova Scotia place name was not added, despite having some communication with Family Search a couple years ago.

Middle River is the river between East River and West River in Pictou county Nova Scotia. Middle Barneys River is another small community not too far (about 15 km) from Barneys River Station, quite some distance (about 45 km) from Middle River. Many of the Pictou records don't list the specific community in this area, but instead simply reference the river, Middle River, with numerous farms along that river.

Please, at least add the Middle River place name as a standardized name, so I begin correcting the records for my family.

@DavidPeterHanson Thank you so much for pointing this out. I have family in "Middle River" Pictou and your comment has helped. I am looking into the family of Hector Ross in "Middle River" and his death record shows "Middle Barney River" and that threw me off until I found your comment.
