Thanks for posting this Cheryl. It's a fantastic tool for Canadian place names!

Query the Canadian Geographical Names Data Base (CGNDB).

This is an interesting Research Tool. Many times we find similar places names. This may solve your #familyhistory mystery!

Click "Query by Geographical Name" and then enter your place name. Try the several filter options available as well.

Hi Brian 

I am glad you are enjoying the Canadian courses! I too have learned so much by taking them. There is so much we can glean from any of the courses to apply to our research, no matter where we are searching. Every course has added things I didn't know that I didn't know! Even though we don't have a direct family connections to an area or a specific historical event, we can see how it impacted our history as a whole - whether for a region or a country. I have a deeper understanding now of how it all worked together to become how it is now. I have a different perspective on many things. The courses inspire us to dig deeper to find out - the rest of the story! :)

Hi Cheryl

While I plan to attend the August virtual meeting I am close to finalising my answers to my final three Canadian courses. I found my lack of knowledge of both Canadian history and geography along with a lack of identified ancestors from Canada made the study a little more difficult but still enjoyable. The knowledge gained from the studies will definitely assist me with my current research that is looking for connecting UK/European ancestors to North America and ancestors/relatives I have found in both Canada and the USA to the ancestors across the Atlantic.

I must admit that my six years of study with NIGS has been very enjoyable as well as a great learning journey which was supported by the enthusiastic friendly staff including Louise, Sue, the lecturers and yourself. I look forward to returning to any new courses on Scotland and Italy when these are scheduled.

keep safe and well.

Hi Adina

I started studying the same way on Scottish and Australian courses and kept on with other courses I found of interest. I have now completed about 150 courses learning much about the countries and my ancestry. I have almost completed the Canadian certificate and just graduated with the Eastern European certificate. I found the American and Canadian courses more involved as I hadn't completed much research on ancestors from these areas. However, I continue my studies basically because I enjoy it and you can take your time.

Good luck

Brian

Hi All. I'm signed up for Research: Canadian Ancestors and will also be signing up for Research: French-Canadian Ancestors. I've been considering whether or not I'd like to pursue a certificate, and I vacillate between Canada and Eastern Europe. My mother-in-law is 100% French-Canadian (and therefore my kids' heritage) and I tend to have a lot of clients that take me back to Canada, so looking forward to learning more.
