Next CCGS Meeting
The 2020 AGM will be held on Nov 16 at the RCAF Association building located at 31 Havelock Street, Amherst, NS at 2 PM
This meeting will follow the RCAF Association Covid rules – masks will be required - tables will be set up so people are social distanced – their building requires people to sign in so we will have someone manning the door to record those attending and with one person recording it reduces the contact to pen and paper as well.
After our AGM we ask that you bring an item of interest for a show and tell.
We hope to see as many of you as possible to reconnect after our long hiatus during Covid-19 restrictions.
Due to the COVID pandemic the Board of Directors has voted in favour of keeping the offices of Cumberland County Genealogy Centre closed to researchers and guests until December 2020 at which time this policy will be revisited.
We would like to advise you all that researchers are available to you - if you have a request please send an email to
Thank you for your patience and understanding during these uncharted times.

About CCGS
The Cumberland County Genealogical Society (CCGS) was established to provide a forum for those interested in genealogy to share information and to assist in the identification and cataloguing of resource material so that it can be readily available to everyone for both research and education.
Objectives of the CCGS are to collect and preserve genealogical material; promote the study of genealogy and family history in Cumberland County; further ethical practices, scientific and effective techniques of genealogical research; and, to publish and distribute genealogical material to help in the education and promotion of interest in genealogy.
CCGS members meet at 7 p.m. every third Tuesday of each month (except July & August), at various locations within Cumberland County. Location notification will be posted prior to meeting. Open to the general public.
