For twenty-four years our organization has never had a fund raiser - so now we would like to ask your help in raising the funds to buy a microfilm reader/printer and the available microfilm reels of newspapers for Cumberland County. We are a registered charitable organization and will issue tax receipts for your donation. Please HELP US REACH OUR GOAL. Please contact our office if you need further details. Donations may be made by cheque, e-transfer to "archives@ccgsns.com" or through Paypal by hitting the Donate Button, above - please add a note to say it is for the microfilm reader/printer. Or drop by the office Thursday - Saturday from 10 AM - 4 PM
Come visit Friday & Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
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 24 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, occupations, etc.

[From the Editors:]
CCGS has accomplished a lot in the past year, and the President covered that in his review at the AGM. Hopefully, with our new structure, which created a Board of Directors, most of the business of the Society can be left in their capable hands and our meetings can concentrate on genealogy projects. In this issue you will find the last of the Fenian regiments. Responding to a member’s request for the 8th Regiment we went searching and Susan Hill found the rest of the list.
We hope you enjoy the review of Dr. McCully’s presentation, Rookie on the Road as it demonstrates that the rules of genealogy are really just common sense and common courtesy. In January, Mary Willa Littler will cover the topic “Responding to Queries”. If you have any experience or any related issues you would like her to include please give her a call.
Best wishes for a safe and happy new year.
