Gwyneth Pearce has written to tell me that the Toronto Family History Branch of the OGS will have two new courses in October and November.
Basic Genealogy and Family History (3 Oct – 21 Nov)
This 8-session course is aimed at those just beginning to research or looking to upgrade basic research skills and will cover terminology, types of sources, the use of on-line resources, libraries and archives, including LDS Family History Centres, and record-keeping – to help you “think like a genealogist”.
Instructor: Jane E. MacNamara
Coming in Waves: British and Irish Emigration to Canada (7 Nov – 28 Nov)
Set within the context of an overview of British and Irish emigration to Canada in different eras, this new 4-session course will offer strategies for identifying and using emigration records from different periods effectively in genealogical research.
Instructor: James F.S. Thomson
For program details, speaker biographies and information on how to register for Toronto Branch courses, visit www.torontofamilyhistory.org/courses.html.
And she says that they are planning an Irish Family History Workshop on Saturday 17 November 2012.
Sge says this will be a full-day workshop covering a comprehensive range of topics of interest to family historians with Irish research interests – details to come soon.
