Wanted: Event Coordinator!

Would you like to be involved in the decision making at GANS? Do you have a knack for planning great events? We still need to fill the Event Coordinator volunteer position on the Executive. At the moment, most of the events are already set in place, allowing the Event Coordinator to settle slowly and easily into the position. If you are interested, please attach your resume or give a brief description on your background and why the position would be of interest to you and email info@novascotiaancestors.ca. All interested parties will receive a response!

Nova Scotia Ancestors Certificate

The Genealogy Association of Nova Scotia is very excited to offer you an option to apply for a Nova Scotia Ancestors Certificate. This announcement goes hand in hand with Canada 150. You must prove that your ancestor resided in Nova Scotia prior to Confederation in 1867.

For further information, prices and an example of how to display the certificate, please refer to the NS Ancestors Certificate page.

All GANS operations are carried out by volunteers, including publications, membership renewals, workshops and website maintenance. Your patience is appreciated, when expecting responses to queries.
