Brundige Research

In researching my Stephen Brundige born in Ontario 1780 - 1805 or there abouts, I have been facing a brick wall since 2001. As a result I have over the years compiled a massive database of all Canadian Brundige lines including the Brundage and related families. As database resources have been added to the online community, the file has grown to include over 1200 individuals with documented references such as birth, marriage and death records, census data from the 1851, 1881, 1901, 1906 and 1911 census.

My current undertaking is to compile a collective presentation of the Canadian Brundage Lines and hope to publish the information in the near future.

Canadian Archives Online Search

Wonderful discovery today. The Canadian Archives has linked the genealogy resources that are available online and installed a great search facility. Many of the documents are now available for online viewing and for others they provide a quick reference for microfilm reels for those wishing to delve right in to serious researching. One of the most valuable resources for those searching for information on their grandfathers who would have been of age for the military during the first world war are the attestation papers of WWII. Full scans of both sides of the papers provide valuable information on either the parents or spouse of these individuals as well at the birth date and birth place. This resource has many times taken my research forward.

New Brunswick Documents

I encountered a fantastic web site yesterday which I would like to share with the Canadian Genealogy Research Community. Too often we forget to return to great sites to see what is new.

The Database of Vital Statistics from New Brunswick Newspapers, based on over twenty-three years of work by Danny Johnson

Setup of Genealogy Research Blog

Having resisted for many years the inclination to join the blogger community, I have finally resigned myself to full acceptance of the concept. Not only to provide information the others researching their family lines but to provide for myself a place to communicate the volume of information that I am processing as I process it. It is too easy to get lost in my own research and fail to squeeze in the time to share what I have found with others.



There is not a day that goes by that I do not discover some piece of information that is worth sharing with other genealogists.
