BOOK - Death or Canada, The Irish Famine Migration to Toronto, 1847
By Mark G. McGowan
Death or Canada tells a story of desperation, tragedy, and hope that exposes both human hardness of heart and the best that the human spirit can offer. This book is an overview of the events with the intent of placing the Famine in its historical context, while offering a glimpse of Toronto history that is still relatively unknown to most of the city's citizens.

By: The Bradford West Gwillimbury Local History Association
Governor Simcoe Slept Here is the work of a team of volunteers who took up the challenge of researching and writing the history of the historic township of West Gwillimbury in Simcoe County, Ontario. The scope and detail of the information collected and included in the text is extraordinary. The 400 some pictures tell a story in themselves. The early chapters including the Mail chapter are included in Vol. 1. The Way We Were and the Families, some 600 of them, are in Vol. 2. A CD is enclosed that provides an index for all the family names and on the CD is an array of Scenes of West Gwillimbury. All will stir up memories of days gone by.

BOOKS - The Visible Past, The Pictorial History of Simcoe County (Ontario)
By: Adelaide Leitch
Although this is the story of one county in Ontario, it covers facets universal in Canadian growth: road-building, land-clearing, the development of health and educational services, and the progress and dreams of the people themselves. The story, from "Indian times" up to the present atomic age, is told in more than 500 illustrations and captions. This is a book that may be picked up for enjoyment, read straight through or a piece at a time. It will also be of lasting value to the student of history, providing as it does, a visual source of historical detail. (very limited supply)

New Television Series - The Generations Project
By: Rick Roberts
The Generations Project is a new reality TV series from Brigham Young University that helps those who have questions about their family history investigate their own identities by walking in the shoes of their ancestors. As they undertake these journeys, they often uncover the hidden identities in family pasts, and come to see that in many cases the best way to know who you are is to know who you came from. Watch it online or via satellite dish.
Looking for a California 49er
By: Shirley Gage Hodges
One of the things that I have enjoyed most about being a columnist for the Global Gazette are the contacts that I have had from individuals. I have heard from people from all over the Globe from places as far away as Berlin and London. This article has evolved as a result of one of those contacts.
1916 Canadian Census Column Headings
By Xenia Stanford
One of the ways to find the country of origin and year of immigration for your ancestors is through census records. It is often difficult to read the headings on the microfilm or on online images of microfiled census. I haven't been able to find a list of headings for the 1916 census so I have compiled one for you.
Canadian Headstones Photo Project Seeking Volunteers
By Jim McKane
The mission of the Canadian Headstones Photo Project - CanadianHeadstones.com - is to capture digital images of headstones, and transcriptions of the text on those headstones, of our ancestors. As decades pass -- many stones are becoming harder, if not impossible, to read the inscriptions they originally contained. By archiving the images, we can help save these important records and also assist researchers using this valuable resource.
