Answer 8

I seem to be working on part of Canadian History. Was not certain if I ought to be joining this group or Europe as the immigration was late 1600 to early 1700...I will learn as I go and perhaps find lots of help here?

Comments

Hey Catherine,

You can join both projects. As you work you will be working in both geographical areas so looking at resources and information from both may help AND as you find new source or resources you can add what you find to the resources lists of the project or sub-project,

Glad to have you join us!

Answer 9

Hi Mags and Erin,

I'd like to join the project!  

When I started on Wikitree I thought I set myself a small, manageable goal - to trace each branch of my family back to the first person to immigrate to Canada. I thought I'd be done in a month or two. Who'd have guessed? Over 11k contributions later, I'm knee deep in New England Planters and United Empire Loyalists and reading Simeon Perkins Diary for fun.  

Its time to fess up and join the project.

Welcome, Cody! I'm the project coordinator of the Ontario Project and will ask Mags to give you the Canadian History badge. In the meantime, I'll add your name to our participants list on the Ontario page. Please let me know if you want to set up a free-space page for any of your interest areas. We've set up a few of these already.

Answer 13

Hi! I'd like to join the Canadian History Project, with a focus on British Columbia. I'm a descendant of a British Home Child (landed in the Barnardos Industrial Farm in Russell, Manitoba) on one side of the family. And of a Yorkshire miner-turned-rancher and his First Nations Nlaka'pamux wife (From Lytton, B.C.) in the Minnie Lake/Nicola Valley area on the other.

Thanks!

— Holly Bird

Hi Mags,

Hope that answered your question fully, but if not, please let me know!

Answer 20

I am interested in the Quebecois project. I have researched the Belanger and Boulanger lines into St. Ignace, Michigan, back to the immigrant ancestor,  There is much confusion between the names and would be interested in making sure those that have been posted are correct. Belanger is a family name, Boulanger is a dit name, in my case for the LeFebvre family from Yamachiche. Thanks!
