New Brunswick Genealogical Society
The New Brunswick Genealogical Society (NBGS) is a nonprofit organization founded in 1978 and dedicated to historical genealogical research in New Brunswick, Canada.[1][2][3][4][5][6] It publishes the Generations genealogical journal[7][8][9] and the New Brunswick Vital Statistics from Newspapers.[10][11][12][13] NBGS host genealogical and history fairs in the local area.[14]
History
NBGS was founded in November 1978, during a meeting of local genealogists.[15]
The society began publishing its journal, Generations, in June 1979.[16][7]
Harold Fanjoy once served as president of the Saint John chapter of NBGS.[17][18] He passed away in 2008.[18]
Activities
In 2006, NBGS released First Families, a collection of records relating to the first 7,414 families to arrive in New Brunswick.[19] The material is held at the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick and was made available online.[20][19] The records have not been updated since 2006, and are considered a "finding aid" only.[21]
In 2018, NBGS launched a project aimed at digitizing over 600 Anglican registers dating back to the 1790s.[22][23]
Since 2019, NBGS has received government funding as a participant in the Canada Summer Jobs program.[24][25]
