  • Acadians Project for French settlers and Acadian settlements before 1763 (Paris Treaty)
  • Nova Scotia Team for migrants to English settlements from 1713 to 1784
  • Maine for settlers and settlements in the north-western counties of New Brunswick, where the border with the US was established in 1842 (Webster-Ashburton Treaty)

Joseph ebbett in my tree was one of the first settlers in the beakman contract, new Brunswick after the loyalist conflict

Joseph was listed in the Beekman Patent (Dutchess County, New York). It isn't clear if he was one of the first since that would have him quite old. The Patent started in 1698 and the Loyalists arrived in the 1776 and later range. That he was a settler in the Beekman Patent is documented but not his arrival. He may have been born there. So far, he can't be further identified. He was also a Loyalist and had to leave New York after the American Revolution.

I have a line of ancestors from primarily Ireland that lived in or were born in New Brunswick in the late 1700s and early to mid 1800s. Many -- but not all -- migrated to the United States about 1862. How do I handle these ancestors? Should I tag them -- or some? One, for example, was born in Ireland in 1810 but married in St John in 1830. She died and is buried in St. John.

For those born in Ireland, I'm lucky if I have an approximate date and location. Thanks for any guidance!

Hi all, as we don't seem to have a leader, I'm requesting here to be added to the Discord channel for New Brunswick and for BC. I hope this is the correct spot for the request. Happy New Year to you all!!

Just a note that the Acadians Project handles Acadians from New Brunswick (and elsewhere) until 1763 plus those born later to parents in exile. Could you add something to that effect ? Maybe it could be "Acadians Project handles the french Acadians through 1763" as in particular New Brunswick was disputed territory until the British drove them out and was officially given the land in 1763.

Thank you Cindy! There are definitely some adjustments needed to the description. I've added the Acadians with a link, as you requested. I also tried to briefly clarify the overlap between English and French settlementsand I added the dispute with Maine, as that has also caused some confusion. I welcome others thoughts and suggestions too!

Laurie, that looks so much more helpful. Those folks back then made it so confusing, didn't they. Putting Main in there is a good idea too because that area was contested too. Cindy

I'm interested in how I can get more involved with this sub-project. I'm not seeing the usual information on this sub-project page on "How to get involved" or regarding how the group communicates. Any information would be appreciated. I'm new-ish to Wikitree and just getting my feet wet but I'm very well versed on New Brunswick genealogy and have many lines with deep New Brunswick Roots. Let me know how I can get more involved with this team.

I am searching for a male Van Wart willing to take a Y-dna test to explore a possible link with the Van Weert's in the Netherlands. My Y-dna is R1b-A8043 which is quite specific (unique). There is another van Weert Y-dna which originated in the Dutch Province of Limburg. I am prepared to pay for the first five test takers at FTdna.com. Van Weert-15.

Data Doctors say you can't include Richard Bartlett (1765-1830) in your Lepreau_Parish_New_Brunswick Category because he died before the category time frame, beginning 1857. He was the first person buried in the Lepreau Cemetery so I understand why you thought of him but rules are rules. I did not add him to your category. I am one of the profile managers. Pat Miller
