For those whose ancestors settled in the Quinte area, the Quinte West Public Library offers genealogical resources and services to help complete the picture of the family.

 Original Records
 
  • Census Records: These records on microfilm include all census records up to 1901 for the counties of Hastings, Northumberland and Prince Edward. Individuals may search and make copies using our microfilm reader/printer. Some of these records have been indexed and are available in print form.
