BOOK - Getting From Here To There, Identifying the Origins of Immigrants to Canada Revised and Expanded Edition

One of the more difficult things to do in a family history research project is to identify where your original immigrant ancestor came from.

In order to find records in the "old-country" it is very helpful to know which town, parish, county etc that the person came from. This book identifies a long list of potential sources in Canada, where you may find that critical piece of information.

BOOK - Keepers of the Record, The History of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives
By Deidre Simmons
Keepers of the Record, The History of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives is a narrative history of the Hudson's Bay Company Archives that provides the context for over 300 years of business record keeping. Deidre Simmons places the archives within the historical context of the Company, England, and Canada, as well as British and Canadian archival traditions. Keepers of the Record is abundantly illustrated with archival photographs that evoke the texture and slightly musty smell of soft leather and crisp vellum and the ghostly presence of the people who created the pristine script, writing by candlelight in unheated (or overheated, depending on the season) dwellings in the wilderness of Hudson Bay or in the centre of London.

BOOK - Steamboat Connections: Montreal To Upper Canada 1816-1843
By Frank Mackey
When we think of steamboats, the Mississippi River in the United States is more likely to come to mind than the St. Lawrence and Ottawa Rivers. Montreal Gazette editor and independent historian Frank Mackey has filled in a blank in the story of Canada's expansion in Steamboat Connections: Montreal to Upper Canada. In the days when locks and canals were in their infancy on these two great rivers, small steamers braved rapids to make runs between Ottawa, Montreal, Kingston, and other Great Lakes ports. Mackey has read and incorporated a staggering range of historical sources which he integrates smoothly with his own lively text, concentrating as much on personalities as on bare facts.
