Answer 6

assuming they are your people. Though it seems likely as there don't seem to be a lot of Bruces in NB.

There are lots of familysearch.org entries for Dorothy Janet Bruce Adams...

There doesn't seem to have been a whole lot of Bruces in NB, that's for sure. I don't have any accounts on any other genealogy websites. I don't know if it costs money to be on other ones. I would love to see the other ones though. Thank you so much for the information. :)

Familysearch.org is free, you just need to register for a free account. You can go directly from a profile to search familysearch.org and a few other premium sites by clicking the "Research" button under the profile ID number top right of the screen...all the way to the bottom almost...

It will enter all the search criteria data that you have in the profile. It's very cool!!!

The provincial archives (http://archives.gnb.ca/Archives/?culture=en-CA) is free too.

Oh, VERY cool! Thank you!!
