Serching for Ancestors

Lots of rain so it was a good day to go to the library in Moncton. We got to read through the copy of the Price Book that they have on hand. They have it in a research room that you have to sign for to get into it and also the book is locked up in a case. We managed to find a little more info so that we knew what to be looking for when we hit the cemeteries. Believe it or not it is very interesting looking at and trying to read old grave markers. We did manage to find a few of the Prices that we know I am related to.

We drove out to Havelock (formerly known as Butternut Ridge on any old documents) and then onto New Canaan, yep this the correct spelling.



After looking over at least 6 graveyards in those areas we went down to Petitcodiac to search through a few more cemeteries. It was real strange there that we found an old site up on a hillside in amongst a lot of trees. It was real hard to see from the road and a fair climb to reach them all.

It turned out that most of them were only about 50 - 100 years old. We stopped back at the library in Salisbury and talked a bit more with the librarian Margaret Crosthwaite (who is related to Rick way back).
