Registration is now open for the next semester of Toronto Branch educational activities, beginning in September 2018.
In store this fall: four courses, two workshops and one tour, with learning opportunities for both new and seasoned family historians.
On Thursday afternoons in September, join instructor Carol Nichols for Using Ancestry.ca Library Edition & FamilySearch.org, a hands-on three-week course on how to get started with two of the largest free databases of Canadian and international records.
No longer a beginner? Learn how to move to the next level and tackle online databases like a pro, with our three-week course on Advanced Research Skills with instructor Marian Press on Wednesday afternoons in November.
Interested in using the results of your autosomal DNA testing to confirm and expand on your family tree? Consider our three-week Introduction to Genetic Genealogy course with instructor Linda Reid on Wednesday evenings in November.
If you have English ancestors, mark your calendar for the last weekend of October! We’re planning an exciting two days of learning devoted to English genealogy.
International author and lecturer Paul Milner will lead a mini-workshop covering two key topics in Advanced English Research on the afternoon of Friday October 26—“Navigating the English Probate System” and “Finding 17th Century Ancestors in England”. And Paul will be joined by our own Branch expert James F.S. Thomson on Saturday October 27 for a full-day workshop on English Genealogy Before 1837: Researching pre-Victorian Records. Learn how to move back in time and trace your English roots before civil registration and censuses.
