Love webinars by Mike Mansfield, keep forgetting there is no syllabus. Will watch it again and take notes.
Great Job Mike !!! Very interesting and useful informtion.
Attended just for curiosity since my relatives are mainly from the US, Scotland or Sweden. But I need to think again. G G Grandfather from Ontario before moving south and A Swedish Grandfather who homesteaded in the NWT for a few years before moving to Montana. His brother stayed in Alberta. I now now know more about how to find them.
I especially appreciated that Mike delved into the historical context that affected the 1931 Canada census.
solid solid information
Great explanation of what is in the census and where. Look forward to checking it out.
Interesting even though my research for Canada is farther in the past.
Lots of information, very interesting.
