Our February Toronto Branch meeting took place on Monday February 27. Because of stormy weather, it was virtual only.
We explored the resources available at one of Toronto’s key research institutions for genealogists—the City of Toronto Archives. Archives educator Jessica Algie demonstrated how to find your ancestors in municipal records, including maps, city directories, photos and local tax assessment rolls–and showed us just how much you can learn about your Toronto ancestors by researching where they lived! And archivist John Dirks introduced us to an exciting new collection at the Archives, the records of the First Unitarian Congregation of Toronto.
We began the evening with a short presentation by Gordon McBean titled Maybe She is not Mine! Righting a Wrong, on the search for truth and the challenge of re-writing a family narrative.
The presentations were recorded and are available to watch until about March 28. Click here to access our Recordings page.
