Genealogy "Summer Camp", Toronto, ON
Sponsor/Organizer: Toronto Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society
Genealogy "Summer Camp" is a unique program (for adults) that brings out-of-town family historians to Toronto for an intensive week of tutorials and hands-on research at the many archives and reference libraries in the city. If you have ancestors from Toronto or other parts of Ontario, there are many resources here for you. Local family historians are also welcome to participate as "day campers". We take full advantage of Toronto's great public transit system, and we keep the group small to allow lots of help from our local experts. We'll help you spend more time finding information about your ancestors-and less time finding the archives. This will be our 16th Summer Camp. More than 125 participants from England, right across Canada and many US states have attended the 15 previous Summer Camps-some more than once!
Applications should be received by 11 June 2012.
