Two New Resources for Research

Just found out that the Essex County Ontario Genealogical Society has a facebook page. I quickly located some FB members who I have previously met through my research at ancestry.ca.  On this FB page folks are posting interesting links such as:

•  The French-Canadian Heritage Society of Michigan: Land and Census Records in the Detroit River area that offers wonderful historic maps of the area such as Jacques Nicolas Bellin’s Maps of the Détroit (below). The information is dated through the 1700s and focussed primarily on the early french families in the area. It is filled with many great graphics. definitely worth the visit!

The Essex County OGS Branch is celebrating 35 years in 2014!
