Family History Forum May 2023

Family History Forum, Tuesday, May 23rd, 6:30pm, via Zoom:
Topic:  From whence did they come? Finding the place of origin for your Immigrant Ancestor, presenter Claire Smith-Burns
Before you can start researching records of your Immigrant Ancestors to Canada in their country of origin, you must first narrow down their place of residence in that country. The clues you need are in Canadian records. We will survey a number of records that may hold the clue for your ancestor’s birthplace. 
Pre-registration required through the ORL’s Events Calendar, https://orl.evanced.info/signup/Calendar (or go directly to the Family History Forums page: https://orl.evanced.info/signup/list?df=list&nomobile=1&nd=90&kw=Family+History+Forum).
