Facebook Groups for New Brunswick Genealogy

These are the groups that I have joined so far. I am sure there are more that I will find as I research further. These groups are full of knowledgeable and kind people who are willing to share their information. Most of the groups are open to members only; you have only to ask to join.

Be sure to thoroughly explore the resources of each group. I didn't realize at first that they have much more to offer than current discussions among members and shared photos. On the left-hand side of each page there is also a link to "files" which will sometimes have some incredibly useful resources. Some that I have found so far are DNA test results of the members for comparison with my own, and links to full-text online family histories that are full of information that helps with my research.

Aroostook Family Connections: https://www.facebook.com/groups/137161659758894/
This is actually a group based in Aroostook County, Maine. Many families in this area crossed back and forth over the border from the U.S. into New Brunswick, Canada. My mother's family certainly did so--most were born in New Brunswick, some married in Maine, many farmed in both places.

Descendants of David Jewett and Edith Rae Crabtree: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1426761087580841/events/
I set up this group myself and am I ever glad that I did. David and Edith were my maternal grandparents from New Brunswick. After my mother died,  I lost contact with some of my cousins. When I formed the group, I got the ball rolling by inviting the few cousins whose contact information I had, and then the group grew and grew as each one invited more cousins to join. There are over 40 members now and my lost cousins are found once again! We share photos, stories, and information.

DNA Descendants of New Brunswick Loyalists: https://www.facebook.com/groups/333117770522341/
"Loyalists" were American colonists who remained loyal to the British Crown during the American Revolution. Many of these Loyalists settled in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, and Ontario. If you have ancestors in New Brunswick from the late 1700s, you have a strong chance of having descended from Loyalists. 

The Family of Israel and Susannah (Hood) Kinney: https://www.facebook.com/groups/703496339681519/
