Canadian Genealogist Online

The Canadian Genealogist has been put online at the Ontario Genealogists Society (OGS) website at http://ogs.on.ca/services/cdn_genealogist.php

It was published four times a year between 1979 to 1988 by George and Elizabeth Hancocks.

It followed the same layout as OGS Families, and there are lots of articles from across Canada, whereas Families is mostly concerned with genealogy that has an Ontario slant.

All of the issues have been indexed.
