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THIS WEBSITE IS NO LONGER BEING UPDATED AS OF JANUARY 2024.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.

Genealogical Research Policy

Several factors determine this research: 1.All information is cited/sourced. 2.When no evidence is found to support data, it will not be entered in the database. 3. In some cases, a note is attached to an individual record referring to data not entered. 4. For early ancestors, official records may not be available and if other information exists in multiple sources, can be entered in database. 5. Living people are entered into the database but will not be visible to the public for privacy reasons. 6. This is a dynamic database, that is, as new information is found or confirmed, the database will be updated.
