MCAUSLAND TOKEN INFO WANTED
A web site visitor writes: "Greetings; I'm Reg MacAusland,
and I'm asking for help. You may have noticed that my surname
is a close approximation of McAuslane, in fact the marriage
licence of my grandfather was written as McAuslane. I am not,
unfortunately, a coin collector but I am now in the process of
compiling my family genealogy. That direct genealogy involves
the two geographical locations mentioned in the identified 'article',Newfoundland and Prince Edward island; involves both the
McAuslane and McAusland spellings contained in the article;
and includes a Peter McAuslane, a merchant, associated with
both Newfoundland and Prince Edward Island in the period
1800 to 1840's .That said, a recent Internet search led me to your site,
introduced me to the existence of the McAuslane token for the
first time , and triggers this request for help on its background .
Could one of your subscribers provide me with the details of
this token - and the PEI McAusland token - as to their history,
purpose, issuer, time frame and any other relevant data? In
turn, I would be willing to exchange genealogical data which
might expand the historical background for both of the tokens
mentioned."[If anyone can help, please contact me and I'll put you in
touch with Mr. MacAusland. -Editor]- 2004-03-28
