Very well organized and informational. I like that Janice had sufficient slides to illustrate her points, without overwhelming viewers with too many graphics. Thanks also for including maps!!
What a great webinar. This information was very valuable for my research. Cannot wait to start checking out the resources shared.
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).
Superb content in presentation and Q & A. Thank you!
I am really looking forward to early Canada West/Ontario research - I have 15 ancestors (so far) born there before 1850
Very well-organized, straightforward presentation. I am happy that I shall have the webinar notes to refer to also.
One of Canada's best genealogy presenters with her well thought out screenshots which paint a picture as you follow along with the most logical syllabus imaginable!
