Description

What’s in a Name?

New France, Upper Canada, Canada West, the Province of Ontario has had many names since the seventeenth century.

This book uses only Ontario sources. Your first genealogy lesson from this book is that every jurisdiction is different. What the author says here may not apply to other provinces, and probably will not apply to other countries.

Here’s basic help with finding maps, censuses, religious records, civil registrations, municipal records, newspapers, immigration/emigration records and wills. The author briefly discusses the Archives of Ontario and Library and Archives Canada and what holdings each might have. Then he points you where to go next.
