Ontario Q&A
Please take a moment to read what this page is all about. Thanks!

Ontario Q&A was set up to help genealogists answer questions that cannot be found elsewhere on the OntarioGenWeb

This page is:

  • NOT for area specific questions (please see the County/District GenWeb site for that type of information!)
  • NOT a query page
  • NOT a research service
  • NOT a place locator
  • NOT a miracle worker!!

    Looking for a town, city, or place in Ontario? Visit the Ontario Locator

    PLEASE if you have a question about a particular County, District, or place in Ontario. Visit the County/District GenWeb site pertaining to that area. There's a very, very good chance you will find your answer there. Thank you!

    1. Q: I think I would like to purchase The Canadian Gen. Index 1600-1900. Please advise.
      A:
      Several vendors including Global Genealogy (Canada - http://www.globalgenealogy.com) and Genealogy.com (USA - http://www.genealogy.com) offer this on CD-Rom. It's also available on subscription service through Ancestry.com and through other vendors - just do a search on any search engine.

      Do you have an answer for this question?



    2. Q: My grandfathers brother Rickard Nordstrom emigrating to Canada, Ontario, around 1913. There are pictures of Rickard in a book called "Rock, Fur, Forest and Trees." It is a history of the area where Richard Emanuel Nordstrom lived. I think the name of the writer is Ronnie Rhind. Where can I buy this book or have copies from it?
      A:
      Call your local bookstore, visit Amazon.ca, Chapters.ca and other such large bookstores. Also call specialty bookstores and request a search for this book. Meanwhile, visit your local library and put in an inter-library loan request. If you live near a college or university, do the same - you may not be able to borrow or request the book if you're not a student or faculty member but you can at least find out where the book is, and then have your local library request it.

      Do you have an answer for this question?
