For ease of use for those who may already know in which community in New Brunswick their ancestors lived, we provide a list, in alphabetical order, of communities in our province that have been identified as having been settled and named by our Irish ancestors.   This list is not exhaustive as continuing research may very well identify additional communities we were not aware of as having been Irish.

We offer these for assistance in your research but do not claim to be 100% without error.  Always verify information from more than one source.

By clicking on an alphabeticvcal grouping below, you will be provided with details of all of the communities we have listed that begin with that letter.
