TIP OF THE WEEK – CANADIAN RESOURCES
Earlier this month the Ontario Genealogy Society had their 2016 conference, “Genealogy on the Cutting Edge”, in Toronto; 700 attended. The Legal Genealogist, Judy G Russell, was a featured speaker. As usually, she has written a nice article informing her readers of some resources that may be new to them. If you are researching your Canadian ancestors, check out her blog, “O Canada”, here :
Besides the “Library and Archives Canada”, which most Canada researchers would know about, here are a few lesser known resources she has links to in her blog :
•Canadian.ca
•CanadaGenWeb
•CanGenealogy Historical Newspapers
•Archives of Ontario
Be sure to read the Comments Section written by other users. They have a few more research recommendations such as The Glenbow Archives and the Surrey Public Library.
My mother-in-law has a very extensive family history (a whole room). She is concerned that when she passes that all the research will be disposed of, or scattered. We are trying to locate an organization that may have an interest in receiving her research. There is not any individual in the family who has an interest in it. We are trying to give her some hope that it won’t be destroyed. The family is linked to several of the first settlers throughout the Pacific Northwest. I can supply additional details and information in a private message
