Uncovering Transnational Ties: Genealogy of US and Canadian Migrations

Our ancestors living in North America likely were part of immigration movements that took them back and forth across the international border between Canada and the United States. These movements by ethnic groups, motivated by wars/conflicts, working conditions and economic circumstances, followed patterns and left records documenting these families. Finding these migratory trails is the focus of this session and records, websites and information about broad categories of these movements will be provided in the syllabus and presentation.
