Next CCGS Meeting
UPDATED again.
Please be advised that the AGM for CCGS will be held on Feb 24th 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 24th (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.

The Death Record Books contain information transcribed from original documents that were sent to the NS Department of Vital Statistics between 1909 and 1963 for Amherst, NS and area.
As access is being restricted to these fragile documents in order to preserve them for future generations, CCGS has created this publication. The CD contains an index of all entries including surname, given name, full date of death, age, status, where born, place of residence or death, where buried, undertaker as well as a link to the digital image of the Death Records Book page. Comments have been added to reflect conflicting data found through additional research.
The image could include: sex, occupation, father’s name, husband’s name, cause of death, race, attending physician, name of person making the return, date of return and registrar.
This item is also available in book format.
