=== '''Computer Networks and Bulletin Boards'''  ===
 
Computers can be useful tools for obtaining information from selected archives and libraries. In a way, computer networks themselves serve as a library. The Internet can help family history researchers:
 
*Locate other researchers.
*Post queries.
*Send and receive E-mail.
*Search large databases.
*Search computer libraries.
*Join in computer chat and lecture sessions.
 
You can find computerized research tips and information about ancestors from New Brunswick in a variety of sources at local, state, national, and international levels. The list of sources is growing rapidly. Most of the information is available at no cost.
 
Addresses on the Internet change frequently. The following sites are important gateways linking you to many more sites of interest.

  • Archives collect and preserve original documents of organizations such as churches or governments. Libraries generally collect published sources such as books, maps, and microfilm.
  • If you plan to visit a repository, contact them and ask for information about their collection, hours, services, and fees. Ask if they require you to have a reader’s ticket (a paper indicating you are a responsible researcher) to view the records, and ask how to obtain one.
  • Although the records you need may be in an archive or library, the FamilySearch Library may have microfilmed and/or digitized copies of them.
