Here is what Ruby M. Cusack, a genealogist and online provider of extensive tools for New Brunswick genealogy research, has to say about LNB:

“I heard another Loyalist question asked many years ago … at the New Brunswick Museum bookstore: ‘Do you have the red Loyalist Bible?’

Time and time again, when I am using The Loyalists of New Brunswick, I think of the term that was given to this book.

In 1955, Esther Clark Wright published her book, The Loyalists of New Brunswick. The amount of information she collected amazes me. After all, this was long before computers were storing data.

Reading this publication gives us an insight into the history of the Loyalists. They become real people to us and we feel their sorrow, their anger and their frustrations. As a family unit they all worked together to provide food and shelter and warm clothing. Children took on adult tasks at a very young age.

Genealogical researchers delight in using the appendix of the book. It lists the names of heads of families or single men of 18 years of age and upwards, their former home, their service during the revolution, their first grants, their subsequent grants and place of residence."
