What We’ll Cover:

This isn’t just a lecture—it’s a hands-on masterclass. Over two sessions, you will:

  • Master the Databases: Watch live demonstrations of essential genealogy tools.
  • Learn the “Do’s & Don’ts”: Avoid common pitfalls in historical research.
  • Build Your Toolbelt: Access genealogy software and research aids to help organize your findings.
  • Source Like a Pro: Learn how to cite your findings so your research stands the test of time.
  • Get Guided Support: Each session ends with a 10-minute moderated Q&A.

Note: This is a working workshop! You will be assigned “homework” between sessions to apply what you’ve learned to your own tree.

To ensure the best experience for our participants, please note:

  • Space is Limited: Attendance is capped at the first 95 registered attendees.
  • Public Service: This workshop is provided FREE as a public service.
  • Focus Areas: This session is strictly for genealogical research. We will not be covering U.S.-to-Canada emigration, Bill C3 implications, or citizenship by descent.
  • Recordings: These sessions will be recorded for participant review.

Your Hosts:

  • Channon Russette Mondoux: Director/Creator of Canadiana Fest (Canadian American).
  • Janine Guimont Cotugno: Genealogist with the Kalamazoo Valley Genealogy Society (Canadian by descent)
