• Notes

  (Research):However, NSARM holds the birth records of Southhampton Township, 1794-1851 (MG 4, volume 232) and a register of births which includes Maccan area, 1763-1817, 1832-1837 (microfilm 12183). Due to the numerous inquiries which arrive daily, staff are only able to provide reference and referral services. Staff are unable to undertake extensive research for each inquiry. You will need to hire a professional genealogist whoworks for an hourly or contract fee. A list is on NSARM's web site [«u»<http://www.gov.ns.ca/nsarm/using/hiring.asp>«/u»].
