Canada 150 - New Brunswick






During our country's 150th anniversary celebration of confederation I will write posts titled Canada 150 with a link to a publication or website I find that may help you tell the story of your Canadian ancestors.
Click on the Canada 150 label on the right or at the bottom to see all the posts.

Today I have for you...


Province of New Brunswick 





New Brunswick was established as a separate province August 16, 1784. It was one of the four original provinces to join to form the Dominion of Canada in 1867.

    Found this link from Twitter this morning, @BeyondBMD I'm sure I've seen different posts from you, but now I've got you on my blog list!
    I'll be checking out these links above - some of my early NE ancestors seem to have gone back and forth over the borders. Cheers.
