Is there another Canadian genealogy society in financial trouble?

 On my trip around the web this morning checking on different genealogical societies, I came across a Demolish the Deficit Fund on the Saskatchewan Genealogical Society site at http://www.saskgenealogy.com/

There is a thermometer on site showing $ O to $40,000 and the goal is to raise $12,000 in 2015.

Has it come to this in Canada? That a genealogical society has to appeal for donations in order to Demolish the Deficit??? If this is it, be forward that we may be in for some rough times in the future.

I’ll be keeping my eye on their efforts to raise the money, and report back if there are any changes.

A virtual door to early Canadian homes

If you haven’t had time to look at this virtual exhibit from the Canadian Museum of History, you should! The photos of early Canadian furniture, textiles and paintings are wonderful.

They explain it as ‘Our personal, everyday items tell the story of how we live, and what we hold dear. Open a virtual door to early Canadian homes, and explore the exceptional collection of furniture, paintings and domestic objects assembled by John and Heather Harbinson. This online exhibition provides a unique look at how the things around us shed light on our roots’.

The exhibit is called The Harbinson Collection: A Passion for Canadian Furniture and Decorative Arts and is available at http://www.historymuseum.ca/harbinson/?cm_mid=4680204&cm_crmid=76c38def-186a-e211-9333-005056a35e1c&cm_medium=email

Research Tip!The latest census for Canada to be released to the public was the 1921 census. After 1921, the Voter’s List (1935 - 1980), which will list the head of the house (and possibly his wife and other members of the family if they worked at the time) can be used as a substitute for the census. ========================================================================
