Located in the northern part of New Brunswick
Restigouche County
as it stands today, is bordered on the north by Bonaventure county
the Province of Quebec, on the south by Madawaska and Victoria Counties
to the Southeast by Northumberland and Gloucester Counties
When doing research in Restigouche County, please keep in mind
that it was
once called Gloucester County, between the years of 1827 to 1838
Between the years of 1786 and 1826 it was called Northumberland County
Please also do not confuse Restigouche County with Restigouche or Ristigouche
Province of Quebec which is a MicMac Indian Reserve just across the River
from Campbellton. This parish of "Ste Anne de Ristigouche" is very closely
related to Restigouche County and a very good place to look for your
ancestors as it is one of the oldest parishes in the area with records
dating back as far as 1759, and Campbellton use to be served by the capucins of Ristigouche
A NEW Restigouche is born
People, for one reason or an other, used to change their names and/or
move around a lot back then
Dont' be surprised if you find who you
thought was in Restigouche County in one of these instead
Also, once again, keep in mind the year you are looking for
Would you like to know a bit more about the land your ancestors came from ?
What is Genealogy without a bit of history ?

For those of you who visit regularly I would like to add a "What's New" section here
so I can add new links or info to each time I add to the page, so you wont' have to go through
the whole page all over again as it seems to be getting quite large.
Just a word here to say sorry I have not been doing much work on this site
lately, but work and the www.restigouche.net web site which is part of work
have been keeping me quite busy.
I will be back though, thanks for being patient and in the meantime what is
on the site already should keep you busy visiting for a while.
Under My WW1 site, I've added some names, pictures, and stories related to

This page was on TRIPOD and they deleted it without notice for no apparent reason.
Due to lack of time to re-build the site right now, I've changed the link to the photos
to be identified that I have placed on another one of my sites but they are only of the Restigouche County area not of NB.. With all the work that goes into a web site and they delete it for no apparent reason and no warning, all I have to say is Tripod sucks...
