Family History Shelf

Ross Museum has several official historical records.

Our volunteers can provide some information for those seeking knowledge of their ancestors. However we recommend that aspiring genealogists make a prior search of the larger data centres at the Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogical Group, since many of the local records no longer exist.
