Toronto Branch monthly meetings are an opportunity to learn and to connect with fellow members. The format of meetings varies but there is always at least one main presentation by a guest speaker. Other offerings may include: short presentations by members about ‘great moments’ in their family history research, sessions where Branch expert researchers help solve members’ brick walls, and other learning/sharing opportunities.
Meetings are normally held online via Zoom the fourth Monday of the month. Official proceedings are from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m
In 2025, we will be adding several in-person meetings on Saturday afternoons. Please watch the calendar below for more details.
Do we really load ALL our records, photos, artifact information AND their sources into our genealogy software? Our tiger of documents has become digital—with sources expanding exponentially. Michael Nettleton will show you how to use a simple, expandable structure and process for capturing research on the fly—and documenting your inferences and questions at the same time. The approach requires no special software—and is compatible with most devices, and Windows and Mac platforms.
Speaker: Michael Nettleton is an avid family historian with a flair for research and a penchant for storytelling. He’s a regular presenter at Toronto Branch, and also supports our behind-the-scenes team.
Speaker: Marian Press is a retired academic librarian who has been researching her family history and sharing what she has found for 30+ years. She has recently begun writing up the results of all these years’ work and self publishing them in book form.
