Researching Métis Ancestors: Origins, Scrip, and Red River Records
Fri, April 17 2026: 18:00 UTC
In the late 18th century, Scotsmen traveled to York Factory to work with the HBC. Women and children were not allowed to travel with the men. Being indentured for 3-5 years, these men often coupled with Cree women, creating the Mètis Nation. HBC’s rival, the Quebec-based Northwest Company, sent their men to the Red River area to trap over the winter months. These men also coupled with the Cree women, adding French blood to the Métis. In this presentation, we will discuss 1) Who are the Métis? 2) Researching Métis Scrip 3) Researching ancestors from the Red River 4) Resources for research.

Les Canadiens français et la Révolution américaine — Découvrez votre ancêtre patriote au Québec !
Tue, May 5 2026: 13:00 UTC
Dans cette présentation, nous examinerons le rôle joué par les citoyens québécois (francophones) dans la Révolution américaine, leur contribution à la cause et leur résistance au gouvernement britannique. Cette participation de ces « patriotes canadiens-français » peut permettre l’adhésion aux sociétés des Filles de la Révolution américaine (D.A.R.) ou des Fils de la Révolution américaine (S.A.R.). Nous explorerons l’histoire du Québec (Nouvelle-France) avant 1776 et les lieux où se sont déroulés les combats de la Guerre d’Indépendance au Québec. Après une brève description des sociétés généalogiques, nous présenterons des ressources permettant d’établir une filiation avec un patriote canadien-français. Enfin, trois études de cas seront examinées.

Migration Pathways Between Canada and the United States You Haven’t Considered
Fri, August 21 2026: 18:00 UTC
Migration between Canada and the United States was far more complex than a one-way journey north or south. Families crossed the border repeatedly, motivated by opportunities, community, and survival. This webinar explores four lesser-known migration pathways that genealogists often overlook.We begin with the New England Planters, who settled in Nova Scotia after the Acadian expulsion, with some later returning to New England or moving elsewhere in the Maritimes. Next, we trace Black migration, from Loyalists and Underground Railroad refugees to 20th-century workers commuting daily between Windsor and Detroit. The session then turns to industrial labourers who worked seasonally in lumber, mining, fishing, or in factories, leaving behind valuable records in both countries. Finally, we examine Depression-era relocations, when Prairie families sought survival in the U.S. Midwest and Americans looked north to Canadian farmland. Throughout, case studies illustrate research strategies and highlight the records that capture these movements. Attendees will learn how to: recognize overlooked migration patterns across the border; identify the key records generated by each pathway; utilize maps, timelines, and the FAN methodology to trace family histories; correlate records across Canada and the U.S. to prove identity; overcome challenges such as surname variations, missing records, and changes in boundaries.

Why did so many Irish migrate to Canada in the nineteenth century? For the most part, history tells us that they abandoned their homeland because of famine, political strife, epidemics, religious suppression, and evictions. Kinealy writes that between 1841 and 1852, Ireland’s population dropped by 1,649,330 people, with 1,289,133 of them migrating. Akenson states that between 1841 and 1851, 822,675 Irish emigrated to the United States, and 329,321 migrated to Canada. Irish Catholics had a considerable impact on the city of Quebec. Following the migration journey of the Doran family, from Summerslane, Kilkenny, this presentation is a discussion of what life might have been like in Quebec in the 1850s for Irish Catholic migrants. The Migration to Quebec is investigated with a study of the types of jobs they had, where they lived, and diseases within the community. Orphaned Irish children and the first ethnic church built for the Irish Catholics are also considered. Three of the Doran siblings lived out their lives in Quebec, while two continued their migration to Bangor, Maine.

Yorkshire was an area of great migration, those who moved within the county, those who moved in and out of the county and those who left Yorkshire and England. Most Europeans who emigrated travelled to America with more than 2 million English moving to America in the 1800s. The changes during the 1800s through the effects, and aftereffects, of the Industrial Revolution created great change in Yorkshire as well as the decline in lead mining and farming in rural areas and the Yorkshire dales. As people lost opportunities to earn a living in these areas they were pulled to the opportunities further afield, the mills towns in the West Riding of Yorkshire and Lancashire and further afield to America then later to Canada and Australia. As a member of a family emigrated this created a greater pull for friends and family to join them creating communities in another country. This was the case in New Diggings in Wisconsin where many people from Swaledale and Wensleydale left the declining lead mines to start new lives in the growing mines of America. This talk will explore the people who emigrated, the villages they left and the communities they joined along with the Yorkshire surnames which are now part of American life. Oral histories documented in the book ‘Those Who Left the Dales’ by the Upper Dales Family History Group are referred to as well as immigration records and original documents held at North Yorkshire Archives including the publication ‘History of New Diggings’ and a Dakota ‘recruiting’ lecture given in Wensleydale. The talk will provide an insight into the reasons for leaving Yorkshire, particularly the Yorkshire Dales, and the lives of those who emigrated.

Using Marriage Dispensations to Find Ancestors in Mexico
Marriage dispensations provide a privileged window into social and family life in viceroyal Mexico. Dispensations, or special permissions to marry granted by Catholic bishops, reveal the obstacles that had to be resolved before ecclesiastical authorities in order to contract marriage. This webinar examines dispensations for consanguinity and for ultramarinos (foreign-born individuals). In areas with high levels of endogamy, marriage dispensations become essential resources to reconstruct family relationships, even extending beyond other church records.
