What
a diverse wealth of information available at your fingertips and while still in
your jammies as you sip your coffee (or tea).
Do
recognize that these are digitized microfilm reels. These records are NOT indexed and they are
made available to you in a browsable format – no different than sitting down at
a “virtual” microfilm reader.
You
can search the entire collection or you can browse features collections:
Genealogy, Aboriginal History, Government Documents, Military History, and Landmark
Papers.
It
makes me wish I was currently researching a Canadian family. Hmmm. I might have to revisit my husband’s
ancestry.
