Program
Canada's National Treasure 10:30 am - 12:30 pm
Learn as Lyn virtually navigates through this website, tantalizing you to an
endless variety of federal Canadian resources: censuses, land records,
immigration and naturalization information, military records, photographs, along
with a greater wealth of knowledge that will benefit genealogists in their
heritage quest
Before and Beyond the Internet 1:30 pm to 2:45 pm
Lyn integrates archaic library science with the Internet. In a snapshot, learn
why genealogists cannot afford to sidestep “finger walking” through original
archival material, reading scope notes, researching libraries and archives, and
requesting interlibrary loans
Research Plans that Work! 2:45 pm - 4:00 pm
Experienced helmsmen know that no river flows straight, but drifts with a tidal
motion twisting and turning. Only with careful planning, reading maps and
scouting ahead, can boatmen travel safely and keep navigation on course. It’s
the same with family history. Applying energy in preliminary research;
course-plotting and charting are certain defenses for successful genealogy. If
there’s no strategy or intended course, frustration can easily offset any plans
for resolution. Join Lyn, and learn how to keep focused, critically thinking
through purposes and procedures before we carry out our research.
