Research Resources

Canada Genealogy helps researchers locate FamilySearch record collections for Canada by providing quick access to indexed and digitized historical records organized by location. The page also links to the FamilySearch Research Wiki, where researchers will find guidance for locating and using Canadian birth, marriage, death, census, immigration, military, land, probate, church, and other genealogical records, along with province-specific research information.

CanGenealogy, created by Dave Obee, is a directory of Canadian genealogy websites and research resources. The site organizes links by province, territory, record type, and research topic, providing access to archives, libraries, historical societies, cemeteries, censuses, immigration records, newspapers, military records, maps, and many other Canadian genealogy resources.

Facebook for Canadian Genealogy, compiled by Gail Dever of Genealogy à la carte, is a directory of more than 1,000 Facebook groups and pages that support Canadian genealogical research. The directory includes resources for every Canadian province and territory, as well as genealogical and historical societies, national and provincial archives, museums, military history, photographs, New France, British Home Children, First Nations, United Empire Loyalists, and other special-interest topics. Resources are available in both English and French.

Ancestry's Quebec, Canada, Vital and Church Records (Drouin Collection), 1621–1968 is a subscription database created from records preserved by the Institut Généalogique Drouin. It includes baptisms, marriages, burials, and other church and vital records from Quebec. Because surnames often appear with spelling variations, searching with alternate spellings can improve results.

Ontario and Upper Canada Genealogy and History is a collection of genealogy and local history resources for researching ancestors in Ontario and Upper Canada. The site provides access to searchable databases, historical maps, land records, wills, newspapers, county directories, township histories, cemetery records, and other resources, along with links to related genealogy websites and Facebook groups.
