Legacy Family Tree Webinars today will host the second free webinar in its monthly
O Canada Series that is new this year.
Janice Nickerson will talk about How to locate an ancestor in Ontario, Canada West or Upper Canada (when you don’t know where they lived) on Friday, February 19, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time.
This webinar will provide strategies and resources to help you discover where your ancestor lived in Ontario, Canada West or Upper Canada, when you don’t have a specific place of origin. These include the types of records you should search in your ancestors’ place of later settlement, as well as records that are specific to Ontario (which, depending on the time period, might be called Ontario, Canada West or Upper Canada) research.
As the focus here is on locating your ancestor, we will focus on province-wide records and indexes. We will not cover the many records and indexes that are useful to the genealogist once the place of residence is known. Handout materials for webinar subscribers will include references for specific publications and records.
Registration is required to watch the live webinar. The recording will be available soon afterward in the webinar library to watch for free for up to seven days.
