“Routes to your Roots” will be featured on CTV’s Live at 5 program tomorrow, Thursday, March 8 between 5 and 6 (Atlantic time).

Marney Gilroy, volunteer and board member spoke on our behalf. You can see the video here, or on our Facebook site. Feel free to leave a comment and click the “Like” button if you have not already done so.

The Cumberland County Genealogical Society, formed as a non-profit organization in 2000, is supported by the efforts of our volunteer membership. One of the goals of the Society is to award scholarships to deserving Cumberland County high school students who will be attending a Maritime university. This scholarship is made possible from a generous donation from the former Fort Lawrence/Beaubassin Heritage Association.
In connection with these goals, the Board has approved a $1000 scholarship to be awarded to Cumberland County graduating high school students who will be full-time students in an accredited Maritime university and with an interest or intent of pursuing a Maritime or Acadian history course of study.
For more information and an application, click here to visit our Scholarship page.
Completed applications must be postmarked no later than May 31, 2021, to enable the Scholarship Committee to complete the selection process by early June. Applications postmarked after this deadline will not be considered.
We’d like to say a special “thank you” to the Council of Nova Scotia Archives for producing this excellent video about our Genealogy Centre, as part of their Routes To Your Roots program. More information about the program is available at www.novascotiaroots.com.
