As part of their ‘O Canada’ series, Legacy Family Tree Webinars will host the free online presentation, Tracing Your Alberta Connections, delivered by Dave Obee, on Friday, August 19, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time.
Alberta is unique among the 10 Canadian provinces. It was the last of the three Prairie provinces to be opened to homesteading, which meant land in that province was available just as quality homesteading land dried up in the United States. That brought a rush from south of the border, and the American influence is still felt today. There has been another mass influx of people eager to work in the energy industry. Many of the key sources used in researching your ancestors or cousins in Alberta are also unique, so local knowledge is essential. This session identifies those sources for you, and will help you get results in your searches.
Registration is required to watch the live webinar. Soon afterward, the recording will be available to watch for free for up to seven days in the webinar library.
Legacy Family Tree Webinars subscribers can also watch Mr. Obee’s presentation, Genealogical Gold in British Columbia, delivered in February, and they can download the syllabus.
