In ‘Round A Chignecto Hearth, William A. Trueman recalls the heritage of a small Maritime community. His candid storytelling clearly displays a deep respect of his fellow man; a fundamental value nurtured by home and community. Even though the way of life portrayed in this book has long disappeared the values fostered by these people of long ago still live on. The author’s observations of human activity and recording of historical events help bring an understanding of the influences that have shaped rural communities. Such an understanding enriches present day readers and encourages reflection upon historical roots.

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.
