"The Early Years"
PEIGS Newsletter Index
Issues Mar. 1977
To Nov. 1995.




The following is an index of articles from the first 75 issues of the P.E.I.G.S. Newsletters. It includes only those articles of which can be considered of research value today. We have not attempted to index society news, queries, etc., as those articles are of limited help to those researching now. In the following newsletters there are some wonderful research articles, and all are still available from the society.

Note: Cemetery Listings and Kindex Files included are up to the date of the publication of the original newsletter, both have been updated more recently. In addition, due to reorganization, the genealogical holdings of the P.E.I. Museum and Heritage Foundation mentioned in earlier articles, are now located at the P.E.I. Public Archives and Records Office.
