Canada's records are as diverse as the country and its people. The early
trappers and traders of the Hudson's Bay Company, the homesteaders who settled
the sprawling Prairie Provinces, the Loyalists and Acadians who flowed into and
out of Canada's eastern lands - all left their mark on Canada's colourful
history.
In 'Finding Your Canadian Ancestors', Sherry Irvine and Dave Obee guide you
through the complexities of Canadian genealogical records, from provincial and
ecclesiastical archives to the extensive holdings of Library and Archives
Canada. Combining traditional, hands-on techniques with introductions to the
latest online resources, 'Finding Your Canadian Ancestors' given you the best
possible start on the hunt for your Canadian roots.
Includes a timeline of Canadian history, as well as useful website to visit.
