Canada Military Records: Difference between revisions

:Sir Frederick Haldimand: ''Unpublished Papers and Correspondence, 1758–84. National Archives of Canada, Manuscript Group 21''. (Not available at Family History Library.) The papers have additional information that the above list does not, including muster rolls, provision lists, compensation claims, subsistence lists, lists of disbanded troops, and lists of prisoners of war.

The Family History Library has records of Applications for Pensions for Widows and Children of Loyalist Officers, 1755–1908 (W.O. 42), arranged alphabetically on eight rolls of microfilm (Family History Library Microfilm nos.{{FHL|184092|title-id|disp=857997, 858000, and 866501–866504}}). These records are listed in the Place Search of the Family History Library Catalog under GREAT BRITAIN - MILITARY RECORDS. These form part of the Great Britain War Office Certificates of Birth, Baptism, Marriage, and Death. The records apply to a small fraction of Loyalist families, but they contain much family information, including a few delayed birth certificates from American states. The records are of families residing in Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, and other eastern Canadian provinces.

Watt, Toronto: The Ontario Historical Society, 1984. (Family History Library Call No. {{FHL|33580|title-id|disp=971 M2ce 1984}}) This work contains information about American Loyalists who were mostly recruited in the Mohawk Valley of upper New York. It contains more than 1,700 names.

For many other records about American Loyalists, see the Family History Library Catalog, Subject section, under AMERICAN LOYALISTS and UNITED EMPIRE LOYALISTS. See the Place Search, under MINORITIES, HISTORY, LAND AND PROPERTY, and other headings.  

Several Loyalist lists have been reconstructed from land records. See [[Canada Land and Property Records]] and in Wiki articles of the provinces. Publications such as The Loyalist Gazette often have articles about Loyalists (see "Periodicals").
