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.

The purpose for the Cumberland County Genealogical Society Surname Registry and subsequent pages is to allow anyone with ancestral connections to Cumberland County and surrounding area a place to leave a link so others of the same surname may make a connection.
We ask you to leave us with more than just a surname that you are searching, so others may be able to make a connection with specific individuals in a certain time period. Possibly it will cut down on some dead end trails that you have traveled before and lead to a more fulfilling path to your specific family research.
