If you have Canadian ancestors and access to Ancestry’s Canadian collection, you should consider watching How to Trace Your Canadian Ancestor’s Immigrant History on Ancestry’s YouTube channel.
The presentation is delivered by Cara MacDonald, who is the librarian and genealogical research manager of Reference Services at the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21 in Halifax. She provides plenty of research strategies and tips in the one-hour video.
This is an Ancestry Extra session that was first presented on Facebook last year, and then it was made available a few days ago on YouTube.
Norwegian seafarers
On another note, Ms. MacDonald tweeted yesterday about The Centre for History of Seafarers at War website. She wrote, “This is a fantastic resource I discovered when searching for a WWII Norwegian sailor on Friday.” In the online collection 66,360 seafarers have been registered so far.
