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 or payments may be made by cheque, or 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 Friday - Saturday from 1:00 - 4:00 PM [Winter hours.]
Come visit Friday & Saturday afternoon from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Our speaker for the general meeting at Amherst Police station, (2nd floor), 21 Havelock St., Amherst, on Tuesday, February 18th at 7 p.m. will be Hal Davidson.
His topic : "Amherst No. 2 Construction Battalion Experience".
We are also very pleased to learn that Lieut. Col. Daniel Hugh Sutherland's granddaughter - Mary Beth Sutherland will be attending.
Hal always gives an excellent presentation, and we look forward to hearing him and to seeing you!
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.
