If you watch TV, you might be forgiven for thinking that you need to pay hefty subscription fees to big genealogy companies to research your ancestors. But some of my most exciting finds were found on six free websites. In this webinar Janice Nickerson will introduce you to my favourite online sources for Ontario family history.
