Gwyneth Pearce, Secretary of the Toronto Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society, let us
know this morning that registration is now open for Tracing Forward - Searching for Relatives in Recent Times, a special fall event
co-sponsored by the Toronto Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society and the
Canadiana Department of North York Central Library.
She
says to “Join expert speakers and fellow family history enthusiasts for a full
day of lectures designed for researchers interested in expanding their family
trees to find living relatives. Find out why we all should build
“tracing forward” into our family history research, and discover new tools,
techniques and strategies for tracing people who are either still alive or
recently deceased. Learn how to navigate privacy and access rules and how to
connect with “DNA cousins”, pick up tips from professionals who locate people
for a living, and prepare to be inspired by stories of how family history
mysteries have been solved”.
It
will be held on Saturday, 26 October 2013 at the North York Central Library,
2nd floor Auditorium, 5120 Yonge Street, Toronto.
