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 fees, Click on Research requests for full details.

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. The index is a listing of the names found in inscriptions, plot holders registers, and memorials. Names will only appear once in the index regardless of the number of times it appears in the cemetery. No other information other than the name will be in the index. In most cases these files are compressed and will have to be UNZIP. See the individual cemetery for availability.

Copies of the branch's publications along with its other holdings and other genealogical research material is housed in the Lambton Room at the Lambton County Library Headquarters in Wyoming Ontario. Exit 25 (South) from Highway 402. Phone (519) 845-3324 Ext.434.
HOURS: Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm Tuesday and Thursday 6pm to 9pm and Saturday 12 to 5pm. CLOSED HOLIDAY WEEKENDS.
The Lambton Room staff do not carry out research, but will help you use their resources.
