Due to a prolonged shutdown of RootsWeb, the Quinte Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society migrated their website in 2018 to the platform hosting the main Ontario Genealogical Society website. In 2019 the Quinte Branch website was redesigned using a WordPress format. No content was lost or removed, although some pages were updated and significant new material was added. A set of “searchable databases<\/strong><\/a>” has been added as well as a “Quick Guide to Research<\/strong><\/a>” on the Quinte Branch site and a form on the right sidebar that can be used to “contact the Quinte Branch if you have a question<\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

\n

The “drop-down” navigation bar, as the static image below shows, is identical to the previous menu and still accesses the same content as well as the newly added material. In the menu above, hover over each menu item to activate the “drop-down” feature and click on the displayed item of choice to view.<\/p>\n

The Quinte Branch Genealogical Centre Library<\/a> <\/span><\/strong>offers a wealth of original source material supporting family history research in Prince Edward County, Hastings County and southern Northumberland County. The FIND-IT<\/strong><\/a> database contains 1.5 million names<\/span> indexed to the resources in the Research Library and is a good place to start the search for your ancestors. The slideshows below provide an insight into some of the valuable resources in the Research Library.<\/p>\n
