I have never seen any for New Brunswick, but Nova Scotia has Township books. The town clerk or another town official made a list of each family living in a township, including wives and children, at a certain time period. You can find these township books on microfilm in the LDS records. Also, type into google: Nova Scotia township books and many will come up. Shirley Lutz Smith Today's Topics: 1.
