Ancestry has updated its Canadian Selected School Yearbooks, 1901-2010 in time for Canada Day.
While Ancestry says they have “replaced old records with new updated records for most of the books found on the site,” it appears they may have done more than that. They have added more than 275,000 records to the collection of high school and university yearbooks, increasing the number of records from 1,653,417 to 1,931,243.
The even better news is that my high school yearbook hasn’t been digitized. Huge relief. The worst photo ever taken of me was by an impatient photographer during my final year of high school. He didn’t wait for my eyes to fully open before he snapped the shutter. I have yet to recover from the adolescent horror I felt when I opened my yearbook.
