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.

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.
