The Filles du roi (King's daughters) were around 800 young ladies who were brought to New France by the king to help with the population. They succeeded as the population of New France doubled in a decade.

The Canadian west was not won by cowboys and guns. The west was won by homesteaders, NWMP (RCMP), and railways. For a $10 registration fee and a lot of hard work a male farmer could have 160 acres of land. Farmers or want-to-be-farmers came from all over. We will use a couple of case studies, search for homestead records, review all the components to understand what the records indicate, convert the data to enter and locate it on Google Maps, and view what the area looks like today. Other records such as Hudson’s Bay Company and RCMP records will be shown.

This webinar was presented live during the 2022 Surname Society annual conference. If your family moved to Western Canada for land and open spaces, this session will help you find their records using Homestead records, genealogical societies, museums, provincial and federal archives, as well as FamilySearch and Ancestry.
