FHSNL Lecture on March 26th

The next FHSNL lecture will feature Colleen Field who will deliver an “Update on Centre for Newfoundland Studies resources on the Digital Archives Initiative”. It will take place at 7:30pm on Tuesday March 26th in Hampton Hall at the Marine Institute on Ridge Road. There is no charge for admission.

Wessex Lecture on April 10th

On April 10th the Wessex Society will host a lecture by Dr. Rob Greenwood on the topic of “Changing Newfoundland Demographics”. It will take place at 8pm at Hampton Hall at the Marine Institute.

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 church wardens or other custodians of original parish records will permit it, we would be happy to photograph birth/marriage/burial registers and put them online. Feel free to contact our webmaster at dapike@mun.ca to make arrangements, etc.

Genealogical DNA Testing:

FHSNL has partnered with Family Tree DNA, 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 by using the "Search your Surname" option on the Family Tree DNA webpage, or by clicking on "Projects" at the top of their webpage.
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.
