The best records available online for researching your Canadian ancestors include civil registrations, census records, church registers, and cemetery records. The Canadian
Researcher is blessed with the availability of a plethora of genealogical records; because of the meticulous record keeping of the Catholic Church, many
French Canadian records dating from the 1700s are also available.
Identifying the place in which your ancestors lived and the time period they lived there will help you to discover which online records will be of help to you. If you are
searching in a time period other than the ones mentioned here, or your ancestor's name does not come up in the searches, try visiting the websites of other genealogy libraries for the
province where your ancestor lived. You can find links to these libraries on MyTrees.com in the Resources menu.
Though this fascinating book states it was written as a guide for the family historian working in Canada, I believe the book would help any family historian find valuable insights into the lives of their ancestors. I found Chapters 9, 14, and the Historical Dates in the Appendix to be most helpful in my personal genealogy research.
This book is well documented with end notes and also provides suggestions for additional reading about the various subjects it discusses.
