The Lambton County Branch is a non-profit organization of people sharing an interest in family history and genealogy. It was organized in 1984.
Our MEETINGS
are usually held the 2nd
Tuesday of each month excluding July & Aug. at the Church of Jesus Christ of
Latter-Day Saints, 1400 Murphy Rd., Sarnia. There is a Family History Centre
located at this church. Occasionally meetings are held at various locations in
the county. All interested persons are invited to attend. Click on MEETINGS to
see our schedule of dates, topics and speakers.
To be a member of the
Lambton branch you must first be a member of the Ontario Genealogical Society
(OGS). The 2010 membership fee
for OGS is $60.00, and the membership fee for the Lambton Branch is an
additional $12.00 per year.

Lambton Lifeline, our quarterly publication, is sent to all members. It includes Queries (an announcement of request for information) , research information, family history articles, library additions, upcoming events of genealogical interest and our meetings.
The society helps its nearly 300 members and many others whose roots are
in Lambton County locate early data and sometimes relatives.
Research requests
for
members and non-members are answered by our research team. A minimum fee of
$15.00 must accompany request for research. We can also
electronically search our new digitized information for a small fee.

The branch has almost completed the transcription of all the Lambton County Cemeteries and many of the Census . The branch has many Miscellaneous Publications dealing with the history and genealogy of Lambton County and its residents.
As each cemetery name index
is computerized, that index will be available through the appropriate township
cemetery page.
Many have had problems with
our zip files, so indexes have been moved to the Ontario Genealogical Society
site. You will find it much easier to search. Names (Surname and first name)
will only appear once in the list regardless of the number of times the name
occurs in the cemetery. Also the presence of the name does not necessarily mean
that the person is buried in the cemetery. It just means that the name appears
in an inscription or is an owner of a plot. Full details are in the published
transcription.
Search Hints:
Once you are on the OGS Ontario Cemetery Ancestor Search page, enter your
ancestor's last Name in the box at the bottom of the page. Fill in the other
boxes to refine your search.
--Search multiple terms using the forward slash [/] for example Hillsdale/
Lambton
--Use the truncation symbol [*] to search for names with variant endings -for
example Brown* to retrieve Brown, Browne and others.
--Once you find the name of an ancestor, search again using the Cemetery ID to
browse the names of other people buried in the cemetery.
I.e.
If you put Cemetery name and
Lambton you will bring up the full index for that cemetery!!
