Canadian Research Using Online Resources
presented by Clair Brisson-Banks

This presentation delves into Canadian genealogical online resources, guiding participants on how to uncover their family history. It covers key platforms such as Early and Government Census records, immigration databases, Protestant and Roman Catholic Church Records, which include vital records, military, newspaper, and tax records, and more. Tips for leveraging tools like Ancestry, Library and Archives Canada, MyHeritage, and FamilySearch are provided. Special attention is given to accessing provincial resources, and connecting with genealogical communities to piece together ancestral narratives.
