Canadian Archives Online Search

Wonderful discovery today. The Canadian Archives has linked the genealogy resources that are available online and installed a great search facility. Many of the documents are now available for online viewing and for others they provide a quick reference for microfilm reels for those wishing to delve right in to serious researching. One of the most valuable resources for those searching for information on their grandfathers who would have been of age for the military during the first world war are the attestation papers of WWII. Full scans of both sides of the papers provide valuable information on either the parents or spouse of these individuals as well at the birth date and birth place. This resource has many times taken my research forward.
