Where can you find Restigouche ?

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.

NB pictures which need to be identified
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...

See the Academie de l'Assomption classes of 1939
The Academy are having a reunion this year in Campbellton.
