Source References for "Beginnings" Files
Cleadie B. Barnett

    A set of brief family bios began under this title at Tripod (of numerous families in New Brunswick) and were later moved to Rootsweb. The references listed on some of the family files may not be very complete - or accurate. Use this file to obtain a better reference title.
    Not every source listed here has been used, nor those listed for the families have not been checked for each individual entry. Most of these families have been put together from published works, with the intention of going back and verifying the information from more primary sources. 
    It is well to remember that even though a source has not been used does NOT mean there is no useful data in it for a given family. This is particularly true for such items for all the marriage, probate records, census records, etc., as well as collections.
    I will only have additional data on the entries I mark (more data). It will waste my time and yours to inquire about the others. 

Note:
    From time to time new items may be added to each source grouping. Somw of these references are taken from my old "Publications for New Brunswick" site, which has been turned over to the New Brunswick GenWeb site. Some links have been placed online at that site, if I knew where an item could be purchased. Other items may be found in local libraries, etc., which you may be able to obtain through the Inter-Library loan system.

  39. Cooney, Robert ~ A Comprndious History of the Northern Part of the Province of New Brunswick and of the District of Gaspe in Lower Canada Reprinted in 1896 by D. G. Smith at Chatham, Miramichi, New Brunswick, from one of the original copies printed by Joseph Howe at Halifax in 1832.  Hb, 288pp.  Robert Cooney (1800-1870) was a native of Dublin, Ireland, who emigrated to the Miramichi in 1824.  While employed at Newcastle as a clerk with the lumber and merchandising firm of Fiddes & Smiths, he was a witness to the Great Miramichi Fire of 1825.  Later, while engaged as an editorial assistant to James A. Pierce, the proprietor of the Chatham Gleaner, he gathered the data needed to write his "Compendious History."  The book is divided into the following sections: Introduction (pp. 1-13), General Description (pp. 14-24), Northumberland County (pp. 25-126), Kent County (pp. 127-160), Gloucester County (pp. 161-226), Natural History (pp. 227-280), and District of Gaspé (pp. 281-288).  While some have written disparagingly of Cooney's biases and limitations as an interpreter of events, he was a well educated man of exceptional ability, and his history  contains a great deal of information which is unavailable elsewhere.  It is also noteworthy for its literary style, the descriptions of the architecture of the buildings of the time being examples of his writing at its most memorable.  Apart from a copy of the extremely rare first edition of Cooney's work, the 1896 reprint is the most-sought-after item for collections pertaining to the history of the Miramichi and the rest of northern New Brunswick.
