Help in finding your ancestors will be available at a special meeting of the Museum of Lennox and Addington’s “March around the World” program.
In conjunction with the Museum’s latest travelling exhibition on display, Refuge Canada from the Canadian Museum of Immigration, this talk will focus on the reasons why ancestors may have needed to move – whether by choice or force.
Titled Using Genealogy & DNA to Trace our Refugee Routes, Jim Sova, volunteer with the Archives of Lennox & Addington, will discuss the different tools and approaches genealogists can use to locate ancestors who may have refugee roots.
In conjunction with the Museum’s latest travelling exhibition on display, Refuge Canada from the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21, this talk will focus on the reasons why ancestors from our family tree may have needed to move – whether by choice or force.
Other questions that will be answered include how to find ancestors if your grandparents had to leave with only the clothes on their backs and never want to talk about where they came from, or how we can trace our family trees with one item that every refugee took with them.
The special session will be held on at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 21.
