In the 1980s, my grandmother gave me her parents’ names, their wedding date and the names of her 15 siblings. From that information I researched from the early 1900s in Northwest Ontario back to the first European landowner in Canada. I will explain each step I took along the way, how I did it then, and how to do it now. Although, the process is the same these steps are done so much easier and faster today with today’s technology and the internet.

All new learning for me.
All sort of databases I did not know about! This is one of the most useful webinars for me ever!!!
Although I don’t know of any Canadian ancestors right now, we had ancestors in Niagra Falls NY so it’s possible that they might have also migrated across the border. This was very helpful.
An excellent program about Canadian Records!!!
As with most webinars there always some gems that are discovered and this one was the same. I thought it was well done and packed with information. Thanks!!
Awesome!!! I will be listening to this one again. Look forward to the other Canadian series and those by Lianne.

Canada is not one the places my ancestors were in or passed through, but this was full of important info. Thanks

I am from Liberty Lake/Spokane, WA and my father was born in Alberta, Canada in 1920; my grandmother was born in Ontario in 1899 and I have lots of ancestors to research in Ontario. I am very excited about all the tips and hints from today. And, I have been to Red Deer, Alberta; I still have relatives and friends living there.
I enjoyed it! Thank you
I learned so much from Lianne Krueger . Never thought of using Google Maps to track my Ancestors.
I liked Lianne’s style
I liked the webinar about Canada. It was a good webinar for beginners on Canadian genealogy.
I love the O Canada Series
I thought she was professional and shared a great amount of beginner information for searching Canadian records.

Lianne Kruger gave lots of web sites and information on how to search for our ancestors.
Lianne Kruger is a great speaker, and she gave us so much information and “”how to’s”” in an hour. I hope someday I can be as thorough as she is. Thank you for this webinar.

Lots of good resources. Thanks. I particularly benefitted from your section about creating a map of “earliest known ancestors.” The map technique will be really good for a variety of genealogical projects. Just what I have needed, and I didn’t know it!
Lots of great sites to keep us busy
Lots of great tips!
lots of information. Thanks for having a Canadian speeker.

terrific resources, clearly presented, most informative
Thank you for all the good websites to explore!
Thank you for the interesting webinar.
THANK YOU for the new CANADIAN series of webinars! Lianne’s class was excellent, well documented, easy to listen to and full of pertinent information. What a great start! I can’t wait for what’s to come. Also, thank you for sharing the Chat Log for us members because I use it like a footnote reference. If I tried to write down every entry into the chat post, I would miss much of the lecture or the posts and probably make lots of mistakes.
Thank you so much for this excellent webinar. So much information that I will be checking out for my Canadian family research.
Thank you that was a very comprehensive lesson on where to research.
Thanks for doing this special feature on Canada!
thanks for sharing all your hard drilling down to our roots. keep safe
Thanks Lianne, a great presentation covering a lot of information. Super handout as well!
That was great! A wonderful handout…so helpful when it is hyperlinked. I think that very last segment about creating a Google Map would make an excellent Tech Zone topic. Looking forward to the rest of OCanada! Thanks.
This is my first time on the Legacy Family Tree Webinars. The process to connect was quite easy to follow as a novice. I’ve done online and in person research in Ontario before, so I was happy to see I had found much information on my own, but I also enjoyed learning quite a bit I hadn’t known or found. I look forward to viewing other webinars in the future. Thank you for this opportunity to view Lianne Kruger’s presentation and to the host for facilitating.
This was fantastic! You provided so many sources to use that will be very helpful for me. Many thanks!
