BOOK - Erin's Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada 1761-1853,
NEW Volume Two.
By Terrence M. Punch, FRSAI. Despite the flow of Irish through Atlantic Canada, the early records of these immigrants are fewer and less informative than those of New England and New York from the same period. Erin’s Sons: Irish Arrivals in Atlantic Canada 1761–1853 goes a long way toward rectifying this problem. Author Terrence M. Punch has combed through a wide-ranging and disparate group of sources—including newspaper articles and advertisements, local government documents and census records, church records, burial records, land records, military records, passenger lists, and more—to identify as many of these pioneers as possible and disclose where they came from in the Old Country. These sources often contain details that cannot be found in Irish records, where few census returns survived from before 1901, and where Catholic records began a generation or more after their counterparts in Atlantic Canada. This new Volume Two provides records on an additional 7000 Irish settlers in Atlantic Canada between 1761-1853. Publ 2009.

BOOKLET - Newspapers and Genealogy: A Beginner's Guide
By Don Hinchley, President of the Ontario Genealogical Society. Despite the fragile nature of newsprint, hundreds of local, regional and national newspapers have survived in many forms — in archives, on microfilm or digitized and on the Internet. This basic guide will help you search for those newspapers that may contain information about your ancestors. If your family has roots in one of the many small communities throughout Ontario that has or had a local paper, you may have an excellent source for adding colour to your family history. Don’t limit your search to local newspapers. There is much to be discovered in the papers of major centres, too. Take the time to explore this valuable source of information.

BOOK - International Vital Records Handbook. 5th Edition (2009)
By: Thomas Jay Kemp. This tome includes information and forms for the United States (all states), Canada (all provinces) plus another 203 countries. A fantastic resource! At one time or another all of us need copies of birth, marriage, or death certificates for driver's licenses, passports, jobs, social security, family history research, or for simple proof of identify. But the requirements and fees needed to obtain copies of vital records vary from from country to country, often requiring a time-wasting exchange of correspondence before the appropriate forms can be obtained. The International Vital Records Handbook puts an end to all that, as it offers complete, up-to-date information on how and where to request vital records. It also includes copies of the application forms, where available, thus simplifying and speeding up the process by which vital records are obtained.
