    1. [ NB ] Research Tips for New Brunswick
    2. sara5d
    3. For those new to New Brunswick research, I offer the below online sites that have information on New Brunswick folks. There are many more sites dedicated to specific counties, where further information can be obtained. It is prudent to check each one of the below because they do not necessarily overlap in their information. Occasionally, information found one place contradicts information found in another place. Each site has its own way of navigating and it is important to remember those details. Because all information has been transcribed by volunteers and is limited to what is viewed on the microfilm, be creative in the spelling of your surname. There are also transcribed county Marriage Registers, available for purchase from PANB. In the York series of books, it is incredible the number of marriages recorded in York County when the couples resided in other counties. So don't overlook information from York County. Our hunt for our ancesters is a composite of whatever information we can glean about them. And the hunt is the fun part, most of the time. Hope this helps someone out there. I'm sure others on the list can add even more sites. Sara PANB = http://archives.gnb.ca/Archives/Default.aspx The search engine allows you to search a surname by 'exactly', 'begins with', 'contains'. PANB offers vital statistics, marriage bonds, cemetery information, plus Dan Johnson's Newspaper Extracts. FIRST FAMILIES = http://nbgs.automatedgenealogy.com/firstfamilies/ First Families seems to be family submitted genealogies about the earliest families. I have found occasionally that the information is limited or conflicts with other information that I have found elsewhere CENSUS - AUTOMATED GENEALOGY = http://www.automatedgenealogy.com/index.html If you click on PANB at the end of the census line, you can bring up marriage, birth, death information for that person. By changing the given or surname name, you can search for others in your family. However, it is limited to an exact spelling of the surname, so be creative in its spelling if your surname is unusual. Something as simple as adding an 'e' on the end may bring up the person you are seeking. LDS = http://www.familysearch.org/ Mostly there is family submitted information. Given the spellings used for place names, often it was not submitted by someone local to that area. So be careful with their information, and use the above more local sites to verify the information.
