Ontario Research Conference - Toronto
By: Rick Roberts. We exhibited at yet another successful genealogy mini-conference,
organized by the Toronto Branch of The Ontario Genealogical Society last week. The event,
Keys to Ontario Research, was co-sponsored by the Canadiana Department of the North York
Public Library. Those of you who know of the library are aware that a visit to the
facility provides a wonderful opportunity to use their considerable genealogy resources
that are housed on the sixth floor. Additionally the Ontario Genealogical Socety has their
Toronto-based collection hosted at the same site. A research bonanza for those with
Ontario roots! These events are a bargain... plan to attend one soon.
