Legacy Family Tree Webinars will this week host two free webinars in their O Canada series.
Today, April 30, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, Kathryn Lake Hogan will deliver her presentation, Invaded! The Fenian Raids and the Canadian Response.
Between 1866 and 1871, Irish-American veterans invaded Canada, attempting to pressure Britain to withdraw from Ireland. Gain an understanding of the historical context, significant battles, and the lasting impact on Canadian military and national identity. Determine your ancestor’s role in these events and where to find the records. A syllabus that lists a lot of useful resources is available to Legacy Family Tree Webinars members. Register to watch live.
On Friday, May 2, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time, Dave Obee will deliver his presentation, Nach Kanada! Immigration of Germans to Canada.
Germans have been migrating to Canada since the 18th century, and have played major roles in the development of the nation. Early arrivals came from German territory, while more recent arrivals came from countries such as Poland, the Soviet Union or Brazil. Germans appear in a variety of Canadian records, including some that do not have Canadians of British descent. This session includes basic history of Germans in Canada, as well as a guide to useful sources. Register to watch live.
Recordings of both webinars will be available to watch for free for up to seven days afterward in the webinar library. After that, only members will be able to watch them.
