Canada Day Contest
This year, Canadians celebrate the birthday of Canada's first prime minister, Sir John A. Macdonald. The question is - When was his birthday, and where was he born? Hint: Like a true immigrant, he wasn't born in Canada!
One winner will be drawn from the correct entries.
The lucky contestant will get a free consultation with me in which they will be told of some of the places they can look to hopefully discover the year in which their Canadian ancestor immigrated to Canada, or some other detail.
The contest will close at the end of Canada History Week at midnight on Wednesday, 07 July 2015.
Place 'Canada Day Contest" in the subject of the email to genealogyreserch@aol.com
Good luck to all, and Happy Canada Day!
