She did a good stressing the very important documents to look for.
Tara Shymanski, thank you for your educational and informative presentation. It will serve as an invaluable aid for researching my four primary family lines spread across Canada from Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and to Alberta.
Very good. N o w --- I can go back and look for information I may have missed! Thank you Tara.
Excellent. Yes, I will see this again. Need to take more notes and make some findings! My ancestors were in a number of Canadian provinces so this was a valuable webinar for me. Thanks.
Reside in Michigan. Can't wait to start using Tara'a lessons and hints. Will be vacationing in Ontario in a couple weeks and plan to use this to research my Canadian son-in-law's family in land records while with his family.
Appreciate Tara Shymanski's very knowledgable and excellent presentation for researching Canadian historical land records province by province.
I learn the different ways and places that I can find my ancestors in land records.
Some of this webinar was a little over my head as I have never attempted land searches. That said, I value and appreciate this information as another tool for use in my genealogy research. Tara gave a great presentation offering tips from her own research which is always helpful to people like me who are just getting started with their research.
