Several almanacs have been published throughout New Brunswick`s past. These little booklets are of definite interest to NB genealogists as they contain a wealth of information on anyone who held government, military, school, church or business positions during the given almanac year. This section of NB GenWeb will provide access to as many almanac years as possible.
