What is the Nova Scotia GenWeb Project?

The Nova Scotia GenWeb Project is based on the US GenWeb Project. The goal of the initial project was to collect databases and other genealogical information and have a single location on the Web for viewing this data. Thanks to the efforts of many volunteers throughout the US and the world, the GenWeb Project continues to expand.

This Nova Scotia GenWeb Project is a part of the CanadaGenWeb Project.


How You Can Help

Volunteers are currently needed for several Counties in Nova Scotia. County coordinators are responsible for the development and maintenance of a County GenWeb site which includes genealogical data from that area. Suggested data includes, but is not limited to: vital records, cemetery listings, Census records, and links to other pertinent County sites.
The following table lists the Nova Scotia Counties and those which need volunteers. If you are interested in being a County coordinator, please contact me, Gail Edwards. In addition, if you are willing to help with projects, such as recording cemetery transcriptions, etc., please e-mail me. With the support of other Nova Scotia researchers, we can all contribute to make the Nova Scotia GenWeb Project a successful one.
