Finding Your American Ancestors in Canadian Records (Live Webinar)
7:00 pm to 8:00 pm Online Webinar
Presented by: Kathryn Lake Hogan, UE, PLCCS
Description:
When you hit a brick wall in your research it’s time to consider your ancestor may have been in Canada. Whether your ancestor was there for a day or for many years, they left behind records. Learn how and where to find the Canadian records to help you fill in the missing pieces of your ancestor’s life.
• Immigration: Did your ancestor come through a Canadian port of entry?
• Land: Perhaps your ancestor took advantage of low-cost or free land in Canada.
• Migration: Did your ancestor migrate through Canada before settling in the USA?
• Birth: Maybe your ancestor really was born in Canada.
• Marriage: Did your ancestor say “I do” in Canada? Learn why your ancestor may have crossed the border to be married in Canada.
• Death: Did your ancestor take his last breath on Canadian soil?
• Employment/
Visiting: Perhaps your ancestor was one of the thousands of
Americans who have crossed the border into Canada looking for employment, or to visit a relative.
• War: Was your ancestor one of the thousands of American men who joined the Canadian forces during World War I or World War II?
Presenters Bio: Kathryn Lake Hogan, UE, PLCGS is a Canadian professional genealogist who revels in teaching people how to find their ancestors in Canada. She is the founder and owner of the Canadian-based genealogy business, Looking4Ancestors.

A Live Webinar with Diahan Southard
Topic: “Three Next Steps for Your DNA Test Results”

Growing up with the budding genetic genealogy industry lead her to her current position as Your DNA Guide, where she provides personalized, interactive experiences to assist individuals and families in interpreting their genetic results in the context of their genealogical information. Diahan's lectures are always fun, upbeat, and full of energy. She has a passion for genetic genealogy, a genuine love for people, and a gift for making the technical understandable.
