In 1981, the Vital Statistics Committee of the New Brunswick Genealogical Society began an ambitious undertaking - to extract genealogical items from the religious, county and city newspapers published in the Province beginning with the earliest publication in 1784. When the committee disbanded in 1985, the project was continued privately by Daniel F. Johnson.

 Since that time, extracts have been taken from newspapers dating from 1784 to 1889. Every page of each newspaper was scanned for even the most obscure items. Over 300 reels of microfilm were viewed and 400,000 full name references were extracted. In November 1992, the Search & Extract Service (SAE) was introduced to find the occurrence of family surnames, to extract the selected entries, and to reference the newspaper source.

 With the assistance of a computer word processing program, the SAE Service is designed to search for every occurrence of any surname, etc. McDONALD, JACKSON, VANBUSKIRK. Reference to ancestors may appear in any year. The same person may appear in various ways ie. Capt. John Thomas MURPHY may also appear as J.T. Murphy, J. Thomas Murphy, Tom Murphy, Capt. Murphy or just Murphy. The Search and Extract Service extracts all Murphys for the time period you select between 1784 and 1889.

 The cost of SAE by e-mail is ----- per surname and --- for each additional surname ordered at the same time. Results of the search may be e-mailed with a Text attachment file with an accompanying invoice. [Prices may change as Daniel's database grows] keep up the good work Daniel.
