Programs focused on Genealogical issues. This month they will talk about: 

"They Came by Sail and Steam to Canada" with Derek Blount

The program begins with a historical review of passenger transport to Canada and its many perils. We will discuss what information is needed and where to find it to locate immigration and naturalization records with examples. A discussion on locating passenger lists prior to 1865 will show you alternatives to Immigration lists. The program also includes overland and Great Lakes travel and their alternative records. (This program is not about people coming to America via Canada)

Mr. Bount will be joining us via Zoom, you can join us in person in the McGuire Community Room or at home by registering HERE.
