This site has been developed to help researchers find their ancestors and their families. As we begin this process we may not have a clear idea of what we actually want to accomplish, but by the time we have progressed to using the internet to aid us, we have made a decision that we want to know more than what we can remember, and what others can tell us. We have also decided upon the method we are going to use to record our findings. It is hoped that all of us are not only recording what we find, but also where we found the information. This seems to be the one item most newcomers to this hobby seem to want to forget about and it is the one thing that gives us a record worth passing along to whomever we intend the record for, parents, sons, daughters, grandchildren or more distant relatives and friends. For those of you who have yet you choose to choose a genealogy program. there are many good ones to choose from. The one I like best happens to be free, and can be downloaded from the Internet. It is Personal Ancestral File, from The Church of Jesus Christ. It has many features you can use or not use as you like, but some of its main "extras" are an unlimited ability to document your work, and a large file area for notes, plus it can print of your files in several different ways. Now, lets begin to find out about Kings County sources, where to find them, and how to use them. First a little hint. The proximity of Kings County to Saint John City, has led to many events in the lives of its residents to take place in that place. In fact, in years gone by, it was not uncommon for whole families to live in Saint John during the winter months and return to the land in time for spring planting, or for families of mariners to wile away the long months of separation there. With this in mind, it is wise to consider that such events as marriages might well have occurred in Saint John County, as well as in neighbouring counties on all sides. A great many links
to Kings County Sources and Surname Files can be found at NBGenLinks (see
below). Also use it to go further afield with your research, as people
seldom spent their entire life in one spot. You can use the links to the
site indicated by the several buttons below, for the same purpose.

For the Kings County Mail List send a message to one of the following --- CAN-NB-KINGS-L-request@rootsweb.com
(if you want mail mode i.e. receiving the messages individually)
In the BODY of the message (and in the subject line if your program needs it) type the word subscribe (or unsubscribe) & mail will come (or stop) to the address on your e-mail, so make sure you use the mail program you want to receive these messages in. Do NOT use a signature file attached to the e-mail message. Software reads your message and tries to answer each command it finds. When it runs across your signature file it gets a bit confused and will send you a message stating something like 'Do not recognize command 'Jones'. Do not recognize command "Smith", etc. It is important when UNSUBSCRIBING that you use the right address or you will not be removed from the list. There is no NO MAIL option if you need to leave the list for a period of time you need to unsubscribe and then resubscribe when you are ready to start receiving messages again. To POST a message to this list use the address:

For the main New Brunswick List use one of these addresses --- NEWBRUNSWICK-L-request@rootsweb.com

| All the above items will aid you to get information on
your family. Message Boards and Mail List are places we can ask for help.
If you haven't used one before take a look at the Archives to see the type
of help they have been to others.
There are a lot on online Family Trees. The one at World Connect is a good place to begin to see if others have researched your family line. As time goes on I will try and list others you can explore BUT remember they should only be a guide, and should not be taken as the truth. Many people grab anything that looks like it "fits" and never stop to verify if the information is for their line or not. So don't be fooled into thinking everything you find is correct. The following links will help you on your way.
