Growing your family tree

Posted by Sonya Procenko

Canada is one of the most multicultural countries on the planet. No wonder, Canadians make wild discoveries when they begin tracing their family trees.

I know several Canadians who have really pursued genealogy as a hobby. The best way I know how to embrace your heritage is to live and work in the "old country", learning the language and culture. That's a story for another time....

Are you researching your family tree? One brilliant website for budding genealogists is Ancestry.ca which can really assist you in your research. The latest historical information available to subscribers here includes The Canadian Passenger List Collection 1865-1935.

"You've heard your parents talk about them. You've seen photos tucked away in old family albums. But what do you really know about the ancestors who gave up everything to start a new life in an exciting new country?" says Ancestry.ca.

"When they arrived, they brought so much to a young nation - hope, ambition, drive and, of course, the desire to see their family grow and prosper. Today, 1 in 3 Canadians can trace their family back to these brave and adventurous individuals."
