We have the following types of records - books, cemetery records, census records, monthly magazine the Ezine, family trees, historical records, land grants, maps, helpful links to other sites, military records, newspaper items, obits, parish records, school records and more.

Announcements

The Feb 2012 Ezine is now posted to the website, there is lots of new information. Thank you to everyone that helped with information.
 
Each year we send out an early reminder to our members about renewing their CBGHA membership, some members find this reminder to be helpful. Our records show that the vast majority of CBGHA memberships expire in the first few months of the year. You can check when your membership expires; log in to the site – www.cbgen.org - then click My account on the main page. We thank you for your support of the CAPE BRETON GENEALOGY & HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION in the past and we hope to continue our relationship for years to come. Just click on membership on the main page and follow the easy steps. Thank you.   Norm
 
A few points about MEMBERSHIP RENEWALS –
 
 Username & password DO NOT change from year to year anymore
 
 Renewals will always be given a full year membership
 
 Members renewing early will be given a full year membership from the date that their membership expires.
 We strongly encourage members to renew using the website, this will be a great timesaver for our volunteers.
 
 Members renewing on the website and using a credit card will be automatically entered to win a free Marriage Records DVD of their choice.

Thank you for renewing your CBGHA membership.

Disclaimer

The Cape Breton Genealogy & Historical Association posts a wide variety of material of interest to anyone interested in Cape Breton genealogy and history. With very few exceptions, this material is gathered by the volunteer members of the CBGHA. We are confident that all the material submitted represents many hours of diligent work and is high quality research. Much of the material was copied from original sources and is a great asset to researchers. The volume of material posted to the CBGHA site makes it impossible to verify all the material that is submitted.

We are confident that the material on the CBGHA site is of excellent quality and was prepared with all reasonable care but human error is a possibility. We suggest that the above statement be considered when doing your research and if you disagree with any of the material found on our website you should review the original documents.
