**Special thanks to Glenna Parker who along with her daughter has taken the time to walk the cemeteries on the island and transcribe the cemetery stones. As a result we now have four new cemetery listings added to the pages! **

Special thanks to Ruby Cusack of Saint John NB who wrote about the Campobello Page in her December 8th, 2000 weekly column. Ruby has all of her articles including weekly queries going back to January 1998 on line. Have a look to see what Ruby had to say about the island. Thanks Ruby for allowing the site this "local" exposure!

As always...if you would like to help out by transcribing records for the site or if you have information, obituaries, vital stats, or church records pertaining to Campobello please contact me and I would be happy to have them placed on these pages. I now have the opportunity to get back to transcribing some more records. I am having to do this by handwriting them out onto paper. These papers will then be scanned onto web pages. The only thing is these pages will not be searchable using the search engine.

If you plan to post Queries to various places on the Internet, I would like to suggest that you find an e-mail forwarding service.  By using one of these forwarding services, if you change your Internet Service Provider (ISP), you only have to change your address in ONE place.  You don't have to notify anyone else of the change.  This is important when doing genealogy because a long lost relative may "find" you, only to hit  a brick wall again when they try to send you a message!
