eWeekly
If you’re not subscribed to the OGS/Ontario Ancestors eWeekly update why not? It’s free, packed with news, and arrives by email early each Saturday morning. This week it started with news that a presentation scheduled for that morning had to be postponed. Go here for the current and some past issues, see if it appeals and if so follow the link to get your own free subscription.

A blog post on what is, and isn’t, available online for the Toronto and area. Still waiting for the Toronto Telegram!

Thanks to this week’s contributors: Anonymous, Brenda Turner, gail benjafield, Joyce M Butcher, Kim, Nick McDonald, Sunday Thompson, Teresa, Unknown.
thanks so much for the always interesting Sunday Sundries. The comedy bit was fun, the Porters book so very important, and the the 17th essay and remarks absolutely fascinating. As well, as a long time OGS member thanks for including their eWeekly info …. on which historical societies can post upcoming events, and more. The eWeekly covers far more than just genealogy.
As you do, John. Many thanks.
