Objectives of the Society: 
To identify, search out, collect, preserve, copy, organize, any and all information regarding genealogical research on the South Shore area (Lunenburg, Queens, and Shelburne Counties); this includes church records, family records, family genealogies, books, micro-films, land records, wills, deeds, death records, etc.
To make available all information we possess to all people searching out their ancestral lines. Conduct workshops, which teach how to accomplish this research and be an influence to all others to keep the necessary records so we remember who we are as a people.
