The land was in his family for decades. According to the government, they don't own it

The article discusses a situation where a family in Nova Scotia, Canada, has been living on and farming land for decades, believing it to be theirs. However, according to the government, they do not legally own the property. The land in question was originally granted to the family's ancestors in the 19th century, but due to a series of historical land grants, sales, and possibly unrecorded transactions, the current legal ownership is contested. The government claims the land reverted to the Crown because of unpaid taxes or because it was never properly transferred after the original owner's death. This has led to a dispute where the family, led by a man named John, is fighting to prove their ownership through historical documents and family records, while facing potential eviction or fines. The case highlights issues of land title disputes, the complexities of historical land ownership, and the challenges faced by families when government records do not align with their understanding of property rights.
