Some Candian Genealogy links:

CANADA:

A great place to start your research is The National Archives of Canada. They offer a free pamphlet called Tracing Your Ancestors in Canada that will help you get a handle on just what is out there and how to begin your research.




Looking for an obscure family history or an out-of-print local history which might shed some light on your ancestors? Why not see if our National Library of Canada has it? If they do, and it's part of their lending collection, you can borrow it for free on inter-library loan from your local library.

Early Canadiana Online is a wonderful, searchable database that helps you rummage through thousands of old books and pamphlets for mentions of your ancestors, and even pulls up a copy of the actual page which mentions them. A wonderful resource for those of us who live far from archives.
