The Quinte Branch of the Ontario
Genealogical Society (OGS) covers the Bay of Quinte
area that includes Hastings, Prince Edward and southeastern Northumberland
counties in Ontario, Canada--one of the first areas settled by United Empire Loyalists in
1784 (see
map).
The branch research library is located in
the Quinte West Public Library
in Trenton.
There are
several databases
including the searchable online Names
Index Finding Aid to assist researchers to locate specific
resources in the library
holdings that are steadily growing thanks to generous donations. Research
can be carried out on-site during opening hours or
research help is available from our
volunteers through correspondence. Publications
and over 140 cemetery transcriptions from Hastings,Northumberland
and Prince
Edward counties
are available for purchase by mail order. Meetings
are held at a variety of venues nine times a year and visitors are
always welcome. Our newsletter The New Searchlightis published four times a year and
contains feature articles of interest to all genealogists. Membership
in the branch is just $10.00 in addition to full membership in the OGS.
