pretty good information in my opinion. Check out the sites under
"Resources by Topic" for example. The Ontario section
provides links to a lot of useful Ontario information.
Also, their prices on software such as FTM and Legacy are
essentially the same as the US dollar price and you are
supporting a Canadian company. - Earl)
Check out their gazette at this site - often some interesting information. http://globalgenealogy.com/globalgazette/index.htm They also have a publishing company with books, etc. worth knowing about: |

A NOTE ABOUT THE CANADIAN GENEALOGICAL PROJECTS REGISTRY
If you are seeking information about Canadian data sources, you should first consult the Canadian Genealogical Projects Registry where you can immediately narrow your search by selecting the PROVINCE of interest, then the EVENT of interest (e.g. death, birth, census), and then SOURCE TYPE (e.g. civil record, church record, newspaper account). The last step is to search the resources for the specific community of interest. This is the largest finding aid of its kind in Canada, with over 9,000 links to genealogical data.
The New England Historic Genealogical Society's Genealogy Technology Excellence gave it's first-ever award to the Alberta Family Histories Society. Specifically, the award recognized the innovation in content and navigational design of the Canadian Genealogical Projects Registry portion of the AFHS website. Two members of AFHS (Janet Morgan, who conceptualized the CGPR and Judith Rempel who developed it) accepted the award on behalf of AFHS at GenTech 2000 Conference in San Diego, California.)
(The NEHGS is the oldest genealogical society in North America - which makes the award to AFHS in Calgary pretty special!)
