Leaving Ontario is an essential guide for family history researchers in search of the records of those who left Ontario. As family historians we often hit a brick wall when family members seem to simply disappear from the province. However, in this era of online databases and indexes we now have an opportunity to look beyond communities and countries and track family members across time and boundaries. Leaving Ontario will provide you with an understanding of the traditional and online records that are available to trace your family members who left Ontario to seek their fortunes elsewhere.

Do you have Ontario ancestors that just vanish? Did they go to the gold rush of California? Were they attracted by homesteading advertisements from the Canadian and U.S. west? Did they feel they had no choice but to leave Ontario? As family historians we have an incredible advantage because the migration study is very personal – it is our family on the ground at a specific time and place. Leaving Ontario will guide you through the resources available to help you understand and tell the story of your migrant’s legacy.
