Hello White/Douglass branch of the family
I've researched the Douglas (Douglass) ancestry. In case you were not aware, Violet H. (Elliott) White is the daughter of Charlotte Mae (Douglas) Elliott and John Leroy Elliott. Charlotte's father was Charles Lincoln Douglas and his ancestral line goes way back.
Around 1890 Joshua Lufkin Douglas did a heap of research about the family and his book has been digitalized by Google. It is a big file (10mb) and you can download it HERE. To save the file, do a right-click. I have added bookmarks to the PDF so you can easily find the relatives. This book has some interesting narratives but you might want to first check out the charts listed below.

Hello Smith/McCurdy branch of the family
The Percy Blanchard book "The McCurdys of Nova Scotia" is available from Quintin Publications in both book form and on CD. There's another small book by D.E. McCurdy - A Historical Geneology of the McCurdy Family. I found a scan of the book online in 2010. The images are png - most systems can open those. I've zipped them up and they can be downloaded HERE.
