OnLand from a GenealogyPerspective – Ken McKinlay

by


As a follow-up from last year’s “Finding Them on the Ground in
Ontario” presentation Ken will be continuing on this theme with
his talk “OnLand from a Genealogy Perspective”. Once we know
where our ancestors lived the next step is to see if we can find
the land records such as deeds and even wills. In this
presentation we will be taking a look at the Ontario Land Property
Records Portal, AKA OnLand, to help us research where our
ancestors lived. We look at the various historical books, try to find
a property in an urban area, and even walk through placing an order for an instrument.
Date and Time: Feb 13, 2023 07:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)

A GENEALOGICAL JOURNEY – Ron LaPlante

by

June Webinar

It all started when Ron inherited a 20-gallon Tupperware container of snapshots from his parents. Luckily, some had names and dates written on them. Thus began his journey of researching and documenting two branches of his Paternal Family Tree – drawing him back to 1600.

Besides building the family tree, he also documented key findings in a 300-page family history book – distributing 85 copies of both to his immediate family. At present, he is writing a novel based on the exploits of his great (X7) grandmother…

Join in the dialogue with Ron as we discuss the ins and outs, ups and downs of Family Tree research.

Date: Monday, June 13 at 7:00 pm E.D.T.

Finding Them on the Ground in Ontario

by

One of the challenges we face when trying to pinpoint where our rural Ontario ancestors lived is finding records with information such as the township, concession and lot. Knowing this information is the starting place for finding land instruments such as deeds and even wills. In this presentation Ken McKinlay will show us how to find that information using census records, directories, voters’ lists, and other publically available records.

Join us on Monday, April 11 2022 at 7PM EDT

Bruce County Genealogical Society’s January 2021 Webinar 

by

You likely already know John Kaminski from his presentation earlier this year regarding tracing Eastern European roots.  He has given the AGEN20 (Adele’s Genealogy 2020) bug to his wife and has increased his researching knowledge by helping   Adele trace her French Canadian heritage.  Using at least 6 online sources, they have been able to trace Adele’s maternal lineage through documentation back to the early 1700’s, almost all exclusively born in Nouvelle France. 

John and Adele have not pursued much farther back than her 7th great grandparents, but know there are a few Acadian and French links, including Filles du Roi, convicted salt smugglers and military personalities. 

It has been a wild ride through Canadian history not taught in the classrooms!
