Speaker: Brian Gilchrist
"I Can't Find Anything about my Family on the
Internet. Why not?"
Noted genealogist and Reference Archivist at Region of Peel
Archives Brian Gilchrist will discuss the pros and cons of using on-line data
as well as tips for being more successful at finding what is (and what was!)
there. Some genealogical information
will "never" be found on-line, some information you have to dig for,
and some of us with extra-terrestrial ancestry will ever only find the location
of the crop circle where the spacecraft landed.
