Lands on the Maine/New Brunswick border area have been contested several times throughout history. Due to border line changes during the disputes, several families in the area exist on census for both New Brunswick & Maine. Some of the links provided below will assist in finding these persons. Aside from border disputes, many New Brunswickers simply left the Province to make their future elsewhere. Some of the links below will provide access to Census Returns containing persons from New Brunswick but living outside of the Province.
