    My father’s Longhurst and Burton Families were in Ontario/ Canada East. I have researched for years but now, I can go more in-depth. Especially helpful was the Agricultural Census of 1851/52 and being able to see the headings close up. Many thanks.

    I found this to be a very informative presentation, along with the syllabus. I look forward to more webinars presented by Janice Nickerson about one of my ancestral homelands, to wit: Ontario (Canada West, Upper Canada).

    I am really looking forward to early Canada West/Ontario research – I have 15 ancestors (so far) born there before 1850
