Description: Uncovering your family history can sometimes be difficult. This three-session course is designed to show you how to use one of the largest databases of Canadian and International records. Discover how to search the complete collection or narrow your focus to just one census. You will learn how to evaluate your results, look for clues for further searches and build your family tree. (Please note that Ancestry.ca Library Edition is a limited edition and does not cover the complete international subscriber version.)
