Getting Help

To move farther afield, you must determine approximately when and where your ancestors resided in New Brunswick. If you do not yet have these facts, your next step is to visit your local archives, historical society or library. There you may search the census and land records, directories, local histories, and other sources which will indicate when they arrived in the area, and perhaps whether they migrated there directly from New Brunswick, or spent time elsewhere.

Equipped with this information, you can write the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick which will send you a guide to family history research in this province, a list of sources for the county where your family lived, and suggestions to help you in your search.
