Hello

The simplest way to ascertain the unit is check the medal rolls on Ancestry.com or the Canadian Archive's own database .

Hi Corey,

Most of the Canadian troops are listed on this site. I suggest you click on Name Search beneath the logo and then enter the name and see what you discover.

Good luck!

Hello Corey......

There were no specific units formed in New Brunswick but militia units provided men for most of the units that did serve......
