From the NB GenWeb Provincial Co-ordinator

 It has come to my attention that the Rootsweb organization has started a similar service - one that will provide a Board for every county in New Brunswick including Albert County.  Other NB GenWeb hosts are doing the same so I would encourage you to please post your queries at the following site: 

 http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/index/NB.html

 

For the time being, I will leave your old queries posted here but encourage you to please consider placing them on the Rootsweb site.  Once that is done, please let me know so that I can delete your queries from my pages.
