Tracing 20th Century Ontarians

Description

On Tuesday, February 17th, the Nipissing Branch of Ontario Ancestors, Ontario Genealogical Society will be presenting "Tracing 20th Century Ontarians". When tracing Ontario families, we usually start with census records and civil registration. But these records are closed for most of the 20th century. So where do you start if your earliest known ancestor was born after 1931? Or maybe you've traced your ancestors, but now you want to find out more about your cousins? Don't despair, not all 20th Century records are closed. In fact, if you know where to look, you can learn a great deal about your recent ancestors and relatives. This lecture will walk you step-by-step through Janice's research process, introducing you to the records and strategies you need to peek behind the "closed" curtains of 20th Century Ontario. Using these tips, you'll probably even learn something new about family members you thought you were done researching! This will be a Zoom meeting only and there will not be an in-person portion. Please go to our website at nipissing@ogs.on.ca for the zoom link. Please register for Zoom before February 17th. Let me know if you have any questions.
