  New Brunswick, Canada  Genealogy & History Resources New Brunswick Resources | Newfoundland & Labrador Resources | Nova Scotia Resources Prince Edward Island Resources | Loyalist Resources BOOK - Whence They Came: Irish Origins From pre 1900 New Brunswick Death Notices By: Peter Murphy Published by Global Heritage Press, MIlton, 2010 
More than 250, 000 Irish immigrants passed through the ports of New Brunswick during the half century from the close of the Napoleonic Wars to Canadian Confederation in 1867. Today their descendants-numbering in the millions-are to be found in places as far flung as Alaska and Australia, along the banks of the St. John and the Miramichi, the Charles and the Potomoc, in the shadow of Toronto's CN Tower, and in every corner of the globe. Interest in their history grows-it seems-in proportion to the number of their descendants. Where, these descendants ask, did we come from? Simply put, this work is designed to offer the most reliable response to this most asked question! Gathered together here are nearly three thousand death notices, transcribed verbatim from pre-1900 New Brunswick newspapers, each of which identifies a specific place of origin in Ireland. Available in both hardcover and CD.ISBN 978-1-926797-12-0 (Hardcover) More information

By Ronald Rees Published by Nimbus Publishing, Halifax The first inhabitants, the Passamaquoddy Indians, camped on both sides of the river as did early Euro-American settlers who moved into the river valley in the 1770s. Even after the Revolutionary War, when the Sr. Croix was designated an international boundary, the thriving lumber, shipping, and ship-building industries on both sides of the river assured a constant interdependency. Here, with historic photographs and succinct text is the unusual story of how two towns-one in New Brunswick and one in Maine-and their satellite communities shared both the advantages and disadvantages of being separated by an international boundary, the St. Croix River.

BOOK - Hope Restored: The American Revolution and the Founding of New Brunswick By Robert Dallison Published by Goose Lane Editions, Fredericton, NB Few Canadians realize how close the colony of Nova Scotia came to joining the American Revolutionary War in 1775. Many Nova Scotians were immigrants from New England, including the Planters who, some twenty years earlier, had taken over the farms of the expelled Acadians. Between family ties and unrestrained privateering, there was much sympathy in Nova Scotia for the American Patriots. In Hope Restored, Robert Dallison tells the story of how the British raised two regiments and sent their members to the area that, as a result, became New Brunswick, thus overcoming the groundswell and fending off Patriot attacks. These soldiers had two jobs: to fight the Americans, and to settle the land as a bulwark against invasion. Spem reduxit (hope restored) became their motto and the motto of the province they founded ISBN 9780864923714 More Information

BOOK - Land of the Loyalists, Their struggle to shape the Maritimes By Janice Potter-MacKinnon Published by McGill-Queen's University Press, Montreal, 1995 Fleeing the American Revolution, Loyalists arrived in the Maritimes driven by a dream: out of the desolate wilderness of present-day Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, they would carve a distinctive cultural and social landscape. Closer to Britain than any of the American states, and only a short sea voyage from New York, the Maritimes seemed to offer the Loyalists a fresh canvas on which to imprint their ideals. In transplanting their British sensibility, ideas of material culture, and respect for order and institutions, the Loyalist leaders attempted to establish New Ireland, a melding of rebellious New England and loyal New Scotland. (Nove Scotia). But this dream for New Ireland was never realized. The Loyalist struggle to impose material and social refinements, and to cultivate a sense of civic responsibility, was frustrated by inhospitable land, long winters, and reluctant inhabitants. Still, the Loyalist legacy is evident today throughout the Maritimes - in the architecture of towns such as Fredericton, New Brunswick and Shelburne, Nova Scotia, and in the social and political institutions of the entire region. This book explores the Loyalists' settlement patters, land distribution, and architectural efforts, as well as the Black Loyalist experience, giving a thorough and engaging look at the forces that created the Loyalist imprint in the Maritimes.

BOOK - Planters, Paupers, and Pioneers: English Settlers in Atlantic CanadaBy Lucille H. Campey Lucille Campey studies evidence of early English settlement in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Newfoundland. Beginning with the Planters and Loyalists of English descent who arrived from the United States in the second half of the 18th century, she goes on to consider the growing influx directly from England after 1815 and ends with the assisted emigration schemes of the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including those that involved destitute children. Detailed information relating to ship crossings and settlement locations is distilled to provide new insights on how, why, and when the four Atlantic provinces came to acquire their English settlers. What attracted them? Was the rapid industrialization taking place in England a major push factor? How did trade links influence settlement locations?
