Kingston Relations
The branch newsletter, Kingston Relations, is published five times a year (in January, March, May, September, and November). Submissions are enthusiastically encouraged!

- Notes about acquisitions and enhancements to our own library as well as those at other local centres
- Branch news
- Tidbits of information from other genealogy newsletters

How to Submit an Article
Our Newsletter Committee is very active, and have as their mandate “to seek out information which may be published and widely distributed” to all Members five times per year. We are always looking for new material.
The Committee will accept for consideration articles and papers of historical and genealogical interest. Some of the types of information we’re eager to bring to a wider audience include:
- Cemetery and gravemarker transcriptions
- Indexes and Transcription of Church registers
- Transcripts & Indexes of Assessment Tax, Census, Property Ownership and other local records
- Diaries
- Resource Lists, Catalogues and Bibliographies
- and similar.
If you have Indexed a record or prepared a manuscript that you consider to be of local significance or of potential interest to a wider audience, please contact the Chair of our Newsletter Committee at the address listed on our Contacts page.
We encourage you to submit material for consideration, but please, contact us first. We cannot guarantee to return unsolicited manuscripts. If your article proves to be a little larger than we normally consider for insertion in our Newsletter, we may suggest that it become a separate publication. To see our current list, visit our Publications page.
If sending by email, please be sure to put “Newsletter Submission” in the subject line.
If sending by post, please mark the envelope “Chair, Newsletter Committee – Article for Review.”
