Genealogy & Research

Need help researching your family tree?

Can't find that long lost relative?

The County of Prince Edward Public Library and Archives holds an extensive collection of genealogy / local history materials.  Work is currently in progress to make our resources available on-line.  Staff members are available to undertake searches on behalf of persons who cannot access our collection directly.  This service is free of charge.  Searches are completed on a first-come, first-served basis, as staff and time permit.  Nominal charges for photocopying / printing / mailing documents may apply.

Our collection includes:

  • The County Magazine 1976 - present
  • Various privately published genealogies
  • Cemetery listings
  • Biographies
  • Local newspapers on Microfilm and microfiche
  • United Empire Loyalist information
  • Census transcriptions
  • Baptismal transcriptions
  • Willis Metcalfe scrapbooks on microfilm for searching Births, Marriages and Deaths
  • Indexes to the Upper Canada land books
  • and much more!

Items not held in our collection may be requested through our InterLibrary loan program, such as Census reels, Vital Statistics (Birth, Marriage, Death registrations), Immigration and passenger lists, Land and property records, Court records, Municipal documents, Military and more.
