From the introduction:
In 1759 Nova Scotia was divided into five counties–Annapolis, Cumberland, Halifax, Kings, and Lunenburg. In Cumberland County in 2009, as part of the 250th anniversary celebrations, the Cumberland County Genealogical Society and its members started a project of recording on Family Group Sheets early settlers of this county who were born on or before 1785. While a few families have been published in family histories, usually there is no hint as to the sources of the information.
CCGS believes that knowing and sharing the exact source of a piece of information helps a researcher and others decide its potential value as evidence.
Regular office summer hours start on May 15th, 2026.
Come visit Thurdsay, Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
MARK YOUR CALENDAR
There will be a general meeting of the Cumberland County Genealogical Society on Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 7 pm, in the Frances Smith Room on the second floor of the Amherst Police Station, 21 Havelock Street, Amherst.
We will again allow our guests and members bring something of interest, old or new for a "SHOW & TELL".
We have had numerous and surprising things of interest in past venues like this and hope, someone can please us with an "extra surprise object, to tickle everyone's curiosity".
Meetings are always open to the public, so please come join your local family Genealogical Society, which has been serving Cumberland County for the past 25 years. Research your heritage and find new relatives. Learn about what times your parents, grandparents and other ancestors, lived through, where, when, how, education, religion, and occupations, etc. and about the times, that they lived their lives.
