With only 10 Provinces and 3 Territories, you would think it would be easy to find a Canadian ancestor.  Add to that French language, massive water ways, and a border easy to cross, Canadian ancestors can be tricky to follow.

Research methodology is the same regardless of where you research, the trick is knowing where to look and what  idiosyncrasies appear in each area based on government system, religious affiliations, and events of the time.

Sherry Irvine and Dave Obee cover record groups, location issues, and much more in their Finding Your Canadian Ancestors.  With internet sites changing daily, I love the fact that there is plenty of white space on the web site pages for hand written updates.  The extensive lists of research locations makes for a great reference book, when you run out of ideas of where to look, in Canada’s 10 Provinces and 3 Territories.

  1. Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It’s very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
