Nova Scotia Genealogy & Biographical Directory — Volumes IX & X — 1,600 Records — Searchable PDF + Source Volumes

Nova Scotia Genealogy & Biographical Directory — Volumes IX & X

Explore the people behind Nova Scotia’s history with this searchable genealogy and biographical directory from Fairbairn Crests. Featuring 1,600 historical records across 167 pages, it brings names, family connections, occupations, places and historical events into one organized reference.

Compiled from Collections of the Nova Scotia Historical Society, Volumes IX and X, the directory includes 808 standardized surname headings, plus a separate section for people whose surnames are not established in the source. It offers useful starting points for family historians, local researchers and readers interested in Nova Scotia’s connections with the wider Atlantic world.

Discover Family Connections and Historical Context

Entries summarize information supplied by the collection, including spouses, parents, children, residences, migration, military service, public office and other biographical details. Source citations help you return to the original pages and explore the surrounding account.

Volume IX includes material on Onslow township, Richard John Uniacke, Louisbourg, naval disasters, the Cabot voyages and memorial notices. Volume X includes T. Watson Smith’s The Slave in Canada, providing records concerning enslaved people, slaveholders, legal proceedings and the struggle against slavery. The directory also draws on qualifying material in notes, indexes and Society membership lists.

What’s Included

• 167-page searchable PDF directory containing 1,600 historical records.
• Alphabetical entries organized under 808 surname headings.
• Linked contents and PDF bookmarks for convenient navigation.
• Surname finder showing record counts and directory page references.
• Original-volume citations accompanying each entry.
• Reader’s guide and editorial notes explaining names, references and limitations.
• Complimentary source reference PDF containing the original scanned Volumes IX and X.
• Both PDFs packaged together in one ZIP download.

A Practical Way to Research

Search a surname using a compatible PDF reader, browse an alphabetical section, or consult the surname finder. Follow family relationships and associated surnames, then use the volume and page citation to locate the original passage in the included source scan.

Mc and M’ surname prefixes are standardized under MAC in the directory. Important spelling variations and uncertain readings are retained where recorded. The 1,600 records should not be treated as a confirmed count of unique individuals: unresolved identities and namesakes may remain separate.

What You Are Purchasing

You are purchasing the compiled and organized biographical directory, including its summaries, navigation and surname finder. The original source volumes are included at no additional charge as research references.

Historical sources can contain errors, conflicting dates and incomplete information. Relevant uncertainties are noted in the entries; confirm findings against the original documents before adding them to your family history.
