Marianne Grey Otty Database Refresh

The Marianne Grey Otty Database, which features transcribed Anglican Church records from the early loyalist settler period, has recently been updated for improved searching and usability. 

The original nine record books were kept by a series of travelling ministers centred in Gagetown, Queens County and covered the years 1786 to 1841, containing lists of marriages, baptisms, and deaths. The books are held by the New Brunswick Museum Archives (NBM Inventory No. 438) and were transcribed by author and local historian, Marianne Grey Otty (1890-1963). In turn, this database was based on a microform copy of Otty’s work from The Loyalist Collection at UNB Libraries.
