OGS Branch Meeting
Genealogy
Workshop
Our June

Branch Library and Online Resources such as the Names
Index Database finding aid and Cemsearch. We
will explain the library catalog reference codes and how
to interpret them to gain additional information. Some
members have asked for a review of genealogy software so
we will demonstrate some popular programs too. We are
also asking members and guests to bring along their
research problems which we will try to answer.

Toronto
Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society presents
Genealogy
"Summer Camp" 2012
Genealogy
"Summer Camp" is a unique program (for adults)
that brings out-of-town family historians to Toronto for
an intensive week of tutorials and hands-on research at
the many archives and reference libraries in the city.
If you have ancestors from Toronto or other parts of
Ontario, there are many resources here for you. Local
family historians are also welcome to participate as
“day campers”. We take full advantage of Toronto’s
great public transit system, and we keep the group small
to allow lots of help from our local experts.
We’ll
help you spend more time finding information about your ancestors—and
less time finding the archives.
This
will be our 16th Summer Camp. More than 125
participants from England, right across Canada and many
US states have attended the 15 previous Summer
Camps—some more than once!
Genealogy “Summer Camp” 2012 will take place from
August 12-17. The Summer Camp fee for 2012 is $230 (Cdn),
which covers approximately 7 hours of lectures and
tutorials, 25 hours of hands-on instruction and all
worksheets and handouts.
For details as to venues, resources, tutorials and
accommodation, and to download an application package,
visit www.torontofamilyhistory.org/summercamp.html
Applications
should be received by 11 June 2012.
