I am hoping for a rainy day this Saturday, August 2. It is the first day of a long weekend in most of Canada (not in Quebec — we had our holiday June 24), and there are two free webinars offered that day.
At 1:00 p.m. Eastern time, the Southern California Genealogical Society presents Crossing the Border: How to Backtrack an Ancestor into Quebec from the US with George Findlen. The talk will answer three questions: What steps do I follow to find my French Canadian’s origin in Quebec? What resources will give me that information? What pitfalls must I avoid?

At 4:15 p.m. Eastern time, Legacy Family Tree presents Debunking Misleading Records with Tom Jones, author of Mastering Genealogical Proof. Genealogical sources of all kinds contain errors, both accidental and intentional, that mislead. Standard tests expose the errors, helping researchers make correct conclusions.
