New from Ancestry.ca…
Canadian Occupations….You’re the first to offer a toast at a family wedding, and the last one standing on karaoke night. The stage has always been your second home, but have you ever wondered where your showmanship came from? Discovering an ancestor’s occupation could give you insight into their life — as well as your own. Many collections on Ancestry.ca could contain information about how an ancestor spent their days. Explore Census collections, Passenger Lists, Voters Lists and Church & Vital Records to discover valuable information about an ancestor’s career, your family’s story and yourself. Available in the Library.
