The following additional variants have come to my attention recently. Source is Jennifer Publicover and is quoted on the Franz Bueckopfer page. They are Buetikofer, Bittighofer, Biettighofer and Bittighofer.

  • Bell's Notes refers to the notes of Dr. Winthrop Bell compiled by him in preparation for his book  The "Foreign Protestants" and the Settlement of Nova Scotia  published by the University of Toronto Press in 1961. Of these notes he stated in a typeset explanation sent to Wallace F. Gray in February 1963, "If life and strength hold out after that work is done [the completion of further historical work], he [Bell] would think of putting in shape for publication the mass of information in his possession about the hundreds of separate families of that immigration--though publication would probably depend on descendants of those immigrants showing enough interest to justify the printing costs involved."

I have used Bell's Notes as the primary source of the surname variations though some of these variations appear in many other documents. See also http://geocities.datacellar.net/Heartland/6625/resources.html#BELL

Scott Winston Teal, Presenting the Publicovers was published in 1986. It covers the history of the Publicover Family from 1688 to 1994 (when the second edition was published.)

  • Letter of Scott Winston Teal was written to me on May 10, 1997.

  • Chris Young's Web Site. See http://geocities.datacellar.net/Heartland/Ranch/8785/namebo.html

  • Harris Publicover. From a series of letters written to me dating from 1949 to 1960. Harris Publicover of Blandford, Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, was the son of Arternas Augustine Publicover and Helena Publicover (her maiden name.)
