Street, Miramichi, N.B. Each month they have a speaker followed by a business meeting.They have 110 members of which
approximately 50% are from outside the City. They recently completed their Cemetery Project
where they visited over 115 cemeteries in Northumberland County transcribing the information on existing tombstones.
The data was produced and published in indexed book form according to Parish. They are also transcribing
the Northumberland County Census and to date have completed 1851-1891. These publications are for sale
by visiting their Website at www.nbgsmiramichi.org Their
volunteers are also collecting & typing obituaries that have Northumberland County connections and, to date, have posted
