Thank you so much! That was so great to listen! I have learned a lot so can’t wait to go searching at these new websites!
Does the U.S. have something like the Canadian County Digital Atlas?
I would do a search online for plat maps and/or gazetteers for the county of interest. Many are available on the Internet Archive, but some show up in other digitized books sites, like Google Books, Hathi Trust, etc. They may also be available on David Rumsey's terrific historical map website.
Just the right amount of time to demonstrate each website
Excellent Webinar. New resources and it will have fun exploring these!
Very informative and very useful for Ontario research. Janice is a wonderful presenter .
Thanks for reminding me of some of the websites that I used to go to more regularly.
Learned a lot of new info about how to research canadian ancestors that I didn't know before. Janice did a great presentation and is very knowledgeable. I enjoyed listening to her.
Super info especially if you don't know where your ancestors landed within Ontario.
