If you were unable to watch the live virtual presentations at Essex County Branch in October and November, no problem. The Ontario Ancestors branch has now added them to their YouTube channel.
The Rising Village: An Early History of Essex, Ontario by Laurie Brett
Ms. Brett traces the earliest days of settlement at Essex Centre, from the 1830s to 1890.
Researching Canadian Soldiers in WWI by Ken McKinlay
Mr. McKinlay takes us through the process of researching an ancestor who served in the First World War on behalf of Canada. Real-life case studies are used to highlight the various resources available to you when researching a Canadian who served during WWI.
Check out the branch’s YouTube channel for previous months’ presentations. Lots of good information.
