This particular branch of the Donovan family resided in Halifax and were Anglican in their religious beliefs as distinguished from the other Halifax De novan family who were Roman Catholic. It has not been determined where they came from or when they arrived in Halifax. Researching this family has been difficult because there were so many Michael Donovans and it is hard to distinguish between the Donovans because of similar naming patterns.
