The Minnesota Genealogical Society offers a free webinar, Find Your American Ancestor Using Canadian Records, presented by Kathryn Lake Hogan, on Wednesday, April 1, at 8:00 p.m.
I watched a similar webinar by Ms. Hogan and found it even helped me research my Canadian ancestors.
When you can’t find your ancestor’s birth, marriage or death registration, or their name on a ship list or immigration record at Ellis Island, then it’s time to consider your ancestor may have been in Canada. Whether your ancestor was here for a day or for many years, he/she left behind records.
When you hit a brick wall in your research it’s time to consider Canada. Even if you think your American or immigrant ancestors were never in Canada, discover eight reasons why they actually may have been there. Learn how and where to find the Canadian or provincial records that will help you fill in the missing pieces of your ancestors’ lives.
Register here to watch live. The webinar will be archived for MGS members only to view.
