The Canadian Genealogical Survey Update
The New Glasgow News reports this morning that Del Muise, professor of history, and Leighann Neilson, professor of marketing, will be at the Hector Exhibit Centre on Monday at 11:30 a.m. in Pictou.
They will be talking about the The Canadian Genealogical Survey which is a national project with the pilot being launched in Nova Scotia.
According to Muise, 25 million North Americans are able to trace their families back to Nova Scotia, and the professors are touring the province to promote the survey.
I wrote about the survey in a blog on July 27th. Their site is online at http://www.genealogyincanada.blogspot.com/.
