Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

Baxter, the author of several "In Search of" books, returns with an updated version of his guide to Canadian genealogical research. As in the earlier editions, Baxter covers the basics of research. He also provides an interesting overview of major group migrations to Canada; discusses the importance of using LDS Family History Centers, the National Archives of Canada, and major records sources such as censuses, church records, and registers; and touches briefly on coats of arms. Baxter then devotes several chapters to each province's available records, archives, genealogical societies, cemeteries, and libraries. A bibliography at the end of the book provides general histories and genealogical readings. The book does not delve as deeply into source materials as does a provincial handbook like Brenda Dougall Merriman's Genealogy in Ontario (Ontario Genealogical Society, 1996. 3d ed.), but it does provide a very useful introduction to general Canadian research. Highly recommended for all collections. --Delaine M. Kuhn, Allen Cty. P.L., Ft. Wayne, IN

Great base to start from, a wee bit dated due to the advance in internet technology.

Anyone doing genealogical research in Canada needs to have this book on their own book shelf. It will be referred to over and over again.

Great book in great condition

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on December 17, 2012

I bought this book after discovering I have at least one Canadian ancestor. I know nothing about genealogical research in Canada. This is a great book for figuring out how to proceed. I bought it used and it's in very good condition. I'm very happy with my purchase!

You must get this book if you are serious about genealogy

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 16, 2000

Mr. Baxter starts with the assumption that you know nothing about genealogy and takes you step-by-step in the genealogical process. He makes it seem very easy but also warns of pitfalls that may occur. Along with his other books, In Search of English & Irish and In Search of German Genealogy, you will never need any other genealogy books. He has not written one for US research but he has the rest of the world covered. He tells you where to write for information, what kind of data you can expect from these places and gives examples of his own Canadian research. Buy this book and you will never be disappointed.
