PANDEMIC MITIGATION EFFORTS

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the public lectures that had been scheduled in April and May are cancelled; our AGM will be rescheduled. Moreover, the FHSNL office is closed until further notice. You can still contact us by mail and email but please expect delays. Publication of the next Newfoundland Ancestor is also delayed.

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 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.
