Oui! Comprendre l’histoire et les archives du Québec

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.

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.

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.
