Research Queries
As more people have become involved in genealogy and as increasing numbers of records have been digitized, there has arisen a need for research support: researchers hit a dead end, it is too far to get to the research location, the difficulty of the assignment requires assistance, and people just run out of time.

*Please note: Queries will be addressed in the order received. They are handled by knowledgeable and enthusiastic volunteers; however, time constraints can occur. While we endeavor to finalize queries as quickly as possible, please allow for the possibility of 4 - 6 weeks for completion.

A “lookup” is a specific request to find out whether we have genealogical information on a particular person, in a particular database or publication we have. The user has all of the specific search criteria (name, 10-year-date-range, location, and publication/database), but needs someone to look it up for them. The user can check the library catalogue for the publications we have. Our digital databases include Chronicle-Herald obituaries for 1961-1999, and Death, Burials & Probate for 1852-1908.
Please send an email to queries@novascotiaancestors.ca with the lookup information after payment.
Member Lookup $8.00
Non-Member Lookup $10.00

Property Research - Document Sourcing
The property database provides for both indexed searches and the retrieval of complete documents. These include land deeds, mortgages, and similar instruments, which often provide significant genealogical information going beyond the specific property details. You may already know the year, book # and page # of the document you wish to purchase. If not, the first step to obtaining a document is searching the index. Once you have received the index listing (see above), you can select one or more documents from the index to purchase.
Please send an email to queries@novascotiaancestors.ca with the details of the document once you have made your purchase.
Members – Document Sourcing (per item) $12.00
Non-Members – Document Sourcing (per item) $15.00
