Overview[edit | edit source]

A periodical is a regularly published magazine, newsletter, or journal. Several valuable periodicals concerning Manitoba genealogical research exist. Many genealogical and historical societies publish magazines and newsletters. The articles in these periodicals often include the following:

Family genealogies and pedigrees
Helpful articles on research methodology
Transcripts or indexes of biographical sketches, censuses, church records, migration lists, military records, obituaries, wills, vital records, and more
Historical background
Current and historical maps
Information about local and national records, archives, and services
Interesting articles about social life and customs
Book advertisements and book reviews
Advertisements of professional researchers
Queries or requests for information about specific ancestors that can help you contact other interested researchers

Obtaining Periodicals[edit | edit source]

Copies of periodicals are available from the local societies that publish them. Major archives with genealogical collections will have copies of many periodicals, particularly those representing the area they serve. The Periodical Source Index, or PERSI, is the largest subject index to genealogy and local history periodical articles in the world. PERSI is available online and is especially useful because it refers to countless items published in thousands of family history periodicals worldwide. Search PERSI:

PERiodical Source Index (PERSI) at Allen County Public Library; index; More information: Periodical Source Index (PERSI)

Once you locate an article in a periodical, check the FamilySearch Catalog and regional or local libraries for available copies. The FamilySearch Library has collected many periodicals, with some available in digital format and accessible online. Manitoba periodicals may be found in the FamilySearch Catalog with a Place and Subject search, as found here: Manitoba-Periodicals. They can also be found by using:

Place Search of the country, state/province, and county
Title Search of the periodical
Keyword Search for the publishing society name.

Also find Periodical resources available at other libraries via WorldCat. As with the FamilySearch Catalog search, search WorldCat using society names, locality names, and periodical title names. Learn more about how to search WorldCat and the FamilySearch Catalog on our Wiki pages.
