Next CCGS Meeting
Please be advised that the AGM for CCGS will be held on Wednesday, Feb 10th at 7 p.m.
This meeting will be held by teleconference with the possibility of locals being able to attend in person if Covid-19 restrictions allow at that time. If that becomes possible a location for the meeting will be announced at a date closer to the 10th (restrictions change daily at the moment) If you are interested in attending in person please let me know.
If you would like to join us for this AGM via teleconference please send your request for the phone number.
This meeting is necessary as we are required to submit paper work to register the Society with the Government of Nova Scotia and also our Charitable Tax Status.
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 our summers hours begin in May 2021 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.

Welcome to CCGS
The Cumberland County Genealogy 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.
As a society we wish to promote many genealogical aspects of Cumberland County for ease of research and convenience for the genealogist, regardless of whether you are a novice or ardent family researcher.
Please bear with us as we progress into the future for the promotion of Cumberland County genealogy and related objectives. If you have something you wish to share, please feel free to contact the appropriate individual in our contact list. If you see something that needs correcting or you can make additional comments please feel free to contact the web coordinator.
Any suggestions that you think may help us to serve you better in regard to making your genealogy experience more fulfilling, graciously accepted. Submit your suggestions to the web coordinator.
Please bookmark this site for further visits and come by often to see how we are progressing. If you have surnames you are interested in, please visit the Surname Registry and view the names in which you have an interest. If you have roots or links to Cumberland County then please submit your surnames to add to our registry.
Thank you for taking the time to visit with the Cumberland County Genealogical Society.
