ABOUT THIS WEBSITE

THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024. ENTRIES FOR SOME GENEALOGIES WILL NOT REFLECT SOURCE CITATIONS AS THE RESEARCH WAS STILL IN PROGRESS. The Friends of McNabs Island Society, a registered charity based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, established this genealogical website partly in response to the growing interest in family history research and enquiries arising from that interest. Volunteers with professional genealogical experience have undertaken the research. To the degree possible, the research follows accepted standards of genealogical research, with appropriate evidence and source citations.
