Yesterday
morning, I listened to the Kent Branch of the Ontario Genealogical
Society on the YouTube Channel at http://youtu.be/UzNZo18W2C8.
The
Branch heard about new online genealogy records at the Chatham-Kent
Library.
Last
year, the library successfully secured a grant from the Ontario
government, and published new records online at
http://www.chatham-kent.ca/PUBLICLIBRARIES/GENEALOGY/Pages/Genealogy.aspx.
These
records include -
- 75 local directories published between 1875 and 2007
- almanacs published by Soutar’s, a publishing company, between 1881 and 1890
- municipal documents
- Kent Historical Society publications
- books by local authors
So
visit the Library online to view these records, and see if your
ancestor is there.
If
you haven’t done so already, remember to check the Canadian
Week in Review on Monday
