-''The Loyalist Guide: Nova Scotia Loyalists and their Documents'' (Halifax: Public Archives of Nova Scotia, c.1983) was compiled by Jean Peterson assisted by Lynn Murphy and Heather MacDonald, also because of the bicentennial. Of course, in 1783 New Brunswick was still part of Nova Scotia, so a lot of the secondary sources listed in Part 1 are applicable as is the bibliography, pages 90-92. Part 2, primary sources, also lists a great many documents and lists that make no distinction based on place of settlement. A useful finding aid.
-Brenda Merriman’s ''Genealogy in Ontario'' (3rd ed. 1996), Chapter 11 on “Loyalist Ancestors”, covers most of the important collections of Loyalist documents generated by the British Government as well as those in American sources. The bibliography for the chapter also ranges beyond Ontario.
-She, in turn, points out (page 204) that “One of the best monographs written to introduce genealogists to Loyalist sources is ''How to Trace Your Loyalist Ancestors'' by Patricia Kennedy.”<ref>Kennedy, Patricia, ''How to Trace Your Loyalist Ancestors: a review of source material'' (Ottawa: Ottawa Branch OGS, 1972; revised 1982).</ref> At the time, Patricia Kennedy was Chief of the Pre-Confederation Archives, Manuscript Division, at LAC. You will find she also wrote many of the “Introductions” to the finding aids for the manuscript groups you will use. Read these explanations, they are clear, easy to read, and will clue you in to what documents survive, and where.
