TWO MORE WORKSHOPS PLANNED FOR 2008
Over the last couple of years, the Branch has presented six well-received workshops with the wonderful support of our partners in the Canadiana Department at North York Central Library. The opportunity to absorb a full day of presentations, and talk to like-minded researchers in a convenient facility—at a reasonable cost—makes for a great day. We’re very pleased to announce that two more workshops are planned for 2008.

African Roots in Canada: August 9, 2008
The second workshop, “African Roots in Canada”, will appeal to the many Canadians, both recent immigrants and many-generation residents, who can trace their ancestry to the African Diaspora in Canada, the US, West Indies, and throughout the world.
The call for papers for this event is now available.
Genealogy in London: November 8, 2008
The final workshop, “Genealogy in London”, acknowledges our many members with English roots. The presentations will be a blend of information about researching Londoners, and using London research facilities covering a much broader swath of the UK.
The call for papers for this event is now available.
