| Genealogy
is the study of our ancestry and family history.
Discovering
our "roots" requires a knowledge of the sources
of records that are available to identify who our ancestors
were, including censuses, church records, civil vital
statistics, land records, probate records, histories
of counties, towns, and villages, and a plethora of
other sources.
The
availability of each of these types of records will vary both
according to the geographic area and the time period being
researched. Hiring a researcher who is familiar with all
source for a particular area is vital to ensuring a complete and
accurate family history.
One
of the ways of ensuring a high quality of research is to employ
a researcher who has obtained professional certification as a
genealogist. In the Maritime Provinces area of Canada, the
Genealogical Institute of the Maritimes is the certifying body
for genealogists.
Mr.
Tony LeBlanc, principal researcher at Chocolate River,
received his certification in 1995, and has over 18
years experience with research in southeastern New Brunswick
and Acadian genealogy.
