I am from Australia and in the very early stages of locating ancestors in Canada who I know from research mainly in Scotland and Europe migrated to North America  I have found a few ancestors in Canada that my current research is attempting to prove link with the European families.

 As with the United States I expect my lack of knowledge of the history and geography of Canada will require a steep learning curve. Fortunately, I have visited Canada for both work and pleasure and have communication with two of my wife's relatives in Canada. My early preparation on the basic courses have proved encouraging. I expect I will post again.

I am a beginner in studying Canadian genealogy. I have taken a couple of courses and still learning a lot. I have heard the saying "you don't know what you don't know" and that is so true. I have been given my Mother and Aunts collection which has a lot of great information and photos, but not necessarily any proof. At the beginning they apparently decided that no one crossed the boarder into the United States and they were only going to follow the one line which is okay but they didn't list any siblings. I have been challenged in following their path and so I'm back in school.

I've completed the basic and intermediate courses and am heading into the advanced.  I've already got my certificate in genealogical studies, with a focus on English records.  Right now I'm on a mission to confirm the parents of my great-great grandfather Peter Smith.  I know that he died in St. Catherines on 11 October 1904, but I haven't been able to locate his birth records.  I believe that he lived in that area his whole life.  Family members tell me his parents were William Smith and Mary Magdelin.  I can connect William to his parents:  Nicholas Smith and Catherine May, all of whom farmed in that area since the late 1700s.

Happy New Year.  I have re-enrolled in the National Institute for Genealogical Studies after many years.  On my father's side, ancestors came to and have lived  in Canada since the 1700s in both Nova Scotia and Newfoundland.  On my mother's side, arrival in Canada from England happened in the late 1880s to Ontario.  

Surnames of interest are SIMMS, HAYWARD, PACK, ASH, HENDERSON & CAWLEY (Newfoundland); BURNYEAT, WISWELL, DICKSON, FAIRBANKS, COLLINS (Nova Scotia); JACQUES & ELLIOTT (Ontario).

For Brenda Smith.

Ancestry has some free online course under their ‘AncestryAcademy’ which are interesting and since they are free, why not. Note, not all the courses they have are free, double check.

FTM has a lot of learning tools.

NIGS has a couple of DNA courses.

DNA: Autosomal DNA (this is not a basic course).  

DNA: Introduction to Genetic Genealogy(BASIC), interesting course,

DNA: Tracing Maternal & Paternal Lines (BASIC), I did not take this course.

Genetics & Medical Family History (ADVANCE), I took this course 10 years ago.

I am new to GenealogyWise, I am currently working my way through the Basic Level Course in Canadian Records and have signed up for the Intermediate Level Course. I did not become aware of this site until I started working through the Social Media Tools for the Wise Genealogist course. I am interested in pursuing some of the DNA courses being offered after testing through Ancestry and FamilyTree DNA. My main area of interest is Ontario. I recently retired and hope this will give me more time to spend honing my research skills.

I noticed several people taking Social Media courses. I found a good book by Debbie Kent, 2011: "DNA and Social Networking".
