Portable Genealogist: Tracing Your Newfoundland And Labrador Ancestors
Newfoundland and Labrador is Canada’s youngest and easternmost province, joining the Confederation of Canada in 1949. The Irish call it the Land of the Fish for it was the fish, or the cod, that brought Europeans for centuries to its coastal waters. The cod fishery has helped shape the province’s distinctive history, and its culture is a unique blend of its Indigenous people and those of English, Irish, and French heritage.
