Births, Deaths & Marriages in Newfoundland Newspapers, 1810 - 1890 is a fully searchable CD containing more than 40,000 entries for births, deaths and marriages transcribed from 43 Newfoundland newspapers, 1810-1890.
The database offers fields for all of the basic information on the subject such as first and last names, age, place of residence and date of event, but also provides additional information such as parents' names, the name of the presiding cleric and cause of death. There is also a note field containing more detailed information provided in the newspaper entry. The database is very flexible, allowing for searches by any field or combination of fields. Births, Deaths & Marriages should be a valuable resource for many types of researchers including genealogists, medical and legal historians, cultural geographers and folklorists.

Ships and Seafarers of Atlantic Canada
is a fully searchable CD containing data on the vessels, captains and crews
of Great Britain and Atlantic Canada, 1787-1936.
It contains
information on the shipping industry of Atlantic Canada, derived from two
British record series, structured as three interactive databases that allow
the user to search, sort and query the data.
The first database
is compiled from the Certificates of Registry for 10 major ports of Atlantic
Canada: Miramichi, Richibucto and Saint John in New Brunswick; Halifax,
Sydney, Pictou, Windsor and Yarmouth in Nova Scotia; Charlottetown, Prince
Edward Island; and St. John's, Newfoundland, from 1787 to 1936 (outside
dates). It contains information on the vessels registered at each port and
on their owners. Shipping registers for the port of Bermuda are also included
on the database.
The second database
is compiled from the crew agreements of vessels registered in the ports
of Saint John, New Brunswick; |
Yarmouth, Windsor and Halifax, Nova Scotia
for the period 1863-1914. This file contains information on the masters
and seafarers who crewed the vessels, their ports of call and voyages.
In total the file contains information on 182,000 seafarers and 20,000
masters of Atlantic Canadian vessels.
A third database
contains a one per cent sample of crew agreements from non-Canadian (British)
vessels which was compiled for comparative purposes. The data is arranged
in the same format as the file described above and contains 85,000 records
of individual seamen and 19,000 records of masters.
These databases
were originally created for the
Atlantic Canada Shipping Project, a major research project undertaken
by maritime historians at Memorial University over a six year period from
1976 to 1982.
