''Generations'', Vol. 22, No. 2, Summer 2000, contains a short article by Robert M. Leavitt of the University of New Brunswick on “Researching Native Ancestry in New Brunswick,” pages 2-3. It is essentially a promotion for a “unique new book”, ''Maliseet and Micmac Vital Statistics from New Brunswick Church Records'' (Fredericton: Micmac-Maliseet Institute, UNB, 1998). This book, conceived by W.D. Hamilton of the Institute, and researched by Evelyn Fidler, lists baptisms, marriages and deaths of Aboriginal people in New Brunswick from the 1700s to 1919. It should prove far more helpful than trying to find your own way through the early missionary records. | ''Generations'', Vol. 22, No. 2, Summer 2000, contains a short article by Robert M.
