Ontario Locator
Ontario Locator is meant for the use of genealogists and historians (though we do understand other professions and hobbyists find the information useful). Our purpose is to help genealogists and historians discover the township, county or district they need in order to research family histories. Knowing this information will narrow your search down to one area instead of province-wide.

ARCHEION

Search or information on what archives exist and where the archival records are located. Included are descriptions of all types of holdings, including but not limited to documentary heritage, diaries, personal accounts, maps, films, photographs, administrative and genealogical records.

Welcome to the International Society for British Genealogy and Family History

The ISBGFH exists for anyone who is researching British ancestry, be they ancestors who left Ireland for America at the time of the potato famine, ones who were sent with the first fleet to Australia, persons who fled to Canada to escape poor prospects in Scotland, a Welshman traveling to Patagonia or an Englishman settling in the plantations of the West Indies.

Because you have British ancestry, one or more of your ancestors chose to emigrate overseas and either stayed there, moved on to another country or returned home. This means you the opportunity to search for information in a country other than your own. When you begin research away from your home ground, you will find that although records are similar, other differences will challenge you. 

In order to cope with the unfamiliar, the ISBGFH organization exists to help unravel the mysteries of research overseas, and to share research available on a worldwide basis. This applies equally to anyone whose ancestors came from the British Isles and settled anywhere in the world, as it does to family historians living in Britain today who have ancestors who went abroad.

Letters from Lavender Cottage by Victoria Seymour

If you enjoy WWII history on the home front and the secret pleasure of reading someone's private letters, then I'm sure you will enjoy reading my books. My first book, Letters from Lavender Cottage, was first published in November 2002 and has been immensely successful. My second book, Letters to Hannah, published 14th October 2003, looks at WWII on the Home Front through the eyes of those who lived in Hastings and South East England, from September 1939 to December 1945
