Canada's Timeline

As you progress through the entries in The Spence Family Tree, you will notice various place names for birth, baptism/christening, marriage and death. As Canada developed into a nation, I tried to reflect the place name at the time of the specific event as best I could. To help you get a clearer picture of British North America's territorial evolution, this profile provides a series of maps that recount important moments in Canada's history. These maps cover the period from the French colonial era of the seventeenth century to the renaming of the Yukon Territory to Yukon in 2003.
