FAWNE STRATFORD-DEVAI

Leaving Ontario – Resources for Tracking Ontario Migrants

Do you have Ontario ancestors that just vanish? Did they go to the gold rush of California? Were they attracted by homesteading advertisements from the Canadian and US west? Are they hiding in Michigan? This lecture will provide you with resources for tracking Ontario migrants in databases across Canada and the USA.

-------------------------------------------------------

Getting From Here to There:
Identifying the Origin of Immigrants to Canada

This session is designed to help researchers in their quest to locate an ancestral home in the old country. When tracing the origins of an immigrant ancestor the answer is most often found in the records of the country they emigrated to. Until a solid paper trail of evidence has been established back to the first immigrant, researching in the old country is virtually impossible. But what records provide this important information? Attend this session to discover what Ontario and Canadian sources are available to help identify the origin of immigrants to this country.

-------------------------------------------------------

RICK ROBERTS OF GLOBAL GENEALOGY:

Researching Canadian Military Records Using Online and Traditional Resources

Discover which Canadian military records are available for different time frames and for different military conflicts, where those records are, how to access them, plus tips and hints for interpreting Canadian military documents. Case studies, compiled by using internet based and physical records, will illustrate effective strategies, research processes and results.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

A selection of books & maps from Global Genealogy will be available for sale. Anything you’ve been wanting? Save the postage or just have a look at an interesting title. Call Lynn with any requests and Global will try to bring them along.

Browse our local publication and sales tables, make useful connections and enjoy a wonderful day of genealogy.

Beginner or advanced researcher, you won’t want to miss these informative and entertaining speakers. 

Everyone Welcome!

ARCHIVES OF ONTARIO LIBRARY
New Archives of Ontario Microfilm Inter- loan Catalogue

The Archives of Ontario is pleased to announce the release of the updated microfilm interloan catalogue. Unlike earlier catalogues, the new catalogue is on line, educational and interactive. Those familiar with their previous catalogues will notice that not all of the interloan microfilm is currently listed. Rather than delaying the release of the catalogue they wanted to ensure that their most popular holdings (including Ontario Vital Statistics) were up to date and available now. They will be updating the catalogue regularly as well as adding new microfilm to their interloan holdings in the coming months.

You will find them at http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/
The main Interloan English page is http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/english/interloan/index.html
The main Interloan French page is http://www.archives.gov.on.ca/french/interloan/index.html
Important Note: The Microfilm Interloan Service allows you to borrow microfilmed archival records through a library or other institution that participates in the interlibrary loan system. Ask your local library about their interlibrary loan policies. Researchers cannot order the microfilm directly from the Archives you must go through your local library.

Can we suggest that you may wish to consider joining FRIENDS of the ARCHIVES of ONTARIO? The time and opportunity has come for us, as individuals, to assist the Archives in carrying on with tradition of preserving the evidence of our provincial history; to show our support for and increase the awareness of the Archives of Ontario; and to acknowledge the important role it plays in preserving our history. With your membership you will receive their newsletter FRIENDS OF THE ARCHIVES OF ONTARIO. The paper will be published four times a year and will be filled with informative reading.
Membership fees are:
$25.00 for an individual,
$40.00 per family and
$15.00 for the over sixty individual.
Contact Friends of the Archives of Ontario at Unit 300, 77 Grenville St. Toronto,
