USA & Canada for British Genealogists

Odds are, you have relatives (possibly close, possibly distant) in Canada or the United States. Migration from the British Isles was crucial to the founding of both countries. Your family members might have migrated centuries ago, or in recent years. While the two countries have been described as being “children of a common mother,” there are major differences in British settlement and in the availability of records. This session will explain some of those differences and will explore the key sources to check in both countries. Special emphasis is given to online resources.
