On the first Thursday of every month, the Ontario Genealogical Society hosts an  education webinar.  This month, Donna Moughty will be presenting a webinar entitled ‘Navigating Online Sources for Irish Research’.   The presentation will begin at 7pm EST on September 6 and registration is required.

Donna says “The loss of records at the Public Records Office in the 1922 fire was devastating but many of the surviving records are now available online. The number of major records that have become available online in the past few years is amazing. Images of civil registration records now online as well as images of Roman Catholic records have revolutionized the way we research in Ireland. In addition, new records are becoming available almost weekly from multiple sources. When researching our Irish ancestors, Since there are no complete record sets in Ireland prior to civil registration in 1864, it’s important to search any source that becomes available that covers the time and place where our ancestors lived”.

On the first Thursday of every month, the Ontario Genealogical Society hosts an education webinar.  This month, Debra Dudek will be presenting a webinar entitled ‘Crime, Prison, and Punishment: Researching UK Criminal and Prisoner Records Online’.   The presentation will begin at 7pm EST on August 2 and registration is required.

Debra says “Whether by choice or circumstance, some of your ancestors may have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. The vast array of criminal and prison records available online and at the National Archives in Kew can offer researchers a great deal of information for their ancestors in a pre-census world”.
