Introduction to Canadian Genealogy - International Institute: Difference between revisions

Each province or territory (with the exception of the Yukon and Nunavut territories) has a major genealogical society, which in turn may have local branches throughout the province. Many of these societies have produced publications which may be of assistance to people researching within their specific area. There are also associations of people interested in a specific family name, or a specific ethnic group or geographic area. The Library and Archives Canada website includes addresses and links to many of the provincial societies, as well as to the Canadian Genweb Project, which will lead the researcher to Internet links of a more localized nature. The book A Canadian Directory for Genealogists, by Louise St Denis will also provide over 1300 listings to genealogical and historical societies, Archives, researchers, and other specialized collections, including those that are not available on the Internet.
