COVID-19 UPDATE

The FHSNL office is currently not open to visitors. Due to physical distancing requirements we will not open before September 2021. You are welcome to contact us by email with inquiries or research requests, but please expect delays.  We look forward to welcoming visitors once again at a later date.

Wanted: Church Records

At present the FHSNL website does not have copies of any church records, but we would very much like to make such records available. If any custodians of original parish records will permit it, we would be happy to photograph registers of baptisms, marriages and burials and put them onto our website. Please feel free to contact webmaster@fhsnl.ca to make arrangements, etc.

Genealogical DNA Testing:

FHSNL has partnered with FamilyTreeDNA, which specialises in genealogical DNA testing. Family Tree DNA offers several types of DNA tests, including its autosomal “Family Finder” test that identifies relatives through a combination of maternal and paternal lines.

For direct paternal line testing (which involves testing a man’s DNA), you can also search for a corresponding surname-based DNA project among the many Projects at FamilyTreeDNA.

For direct maternal line testing, there is a Newfoundland and Labrador mtDNA Project that you can join if your direct maternal ancestral line involves Newfoundland and Labrador.
