The genealogy collection of the
Annapolis Heritage Society is focused on families who have lived in the area
encompassed by the early townships of Annapolis, Granville and Clements.
Most of the collection is devoted
to those English-speaking families of Planter, Ulster-Scots, Yorkshire and
Loyalist heritage who supplanted the French Acadians after 1755 and make up the
vast bulk of the population today.
Because of the area's early
history as Port-Royal and its central role in Acadian society pre-1755, AHS is
attempting to broaden its collection of pre-Expulsion Acadian material.
The genealogy collection also
contains limited resources on families of M'ikmaw and Black Loyalist descent.
We welcome relevant additions to the collection. Much of the primary source
material is on microfilm.
