Ask an Ontario Genealogy Question $ Some links may offer paid services or resources and are not financially associated with the OntarioGenWeb Project $ Q: In the 1861 Perth Co. Census the letters Wl are given as place of birth. What do they stand for? A: Your WI should be the colony of British West Indies in the 1860's; if it had been current usage, it should be Wisconsin. The USA went to two letter abbreviations recently but I can't remember when. (Wisconsin used to be WIS) Do you have an answer for this question? Q: My wifes father was sent to Canada, under the "HOME CHILDREN", banner it appears.that was in 1921-22 when he was 14-15. My wife said he never talked of his parents. We have no idea who sent him to Canada and why. He ended up at the LALLY farm in Perth. Is there a way of tracking his arrival and other details. The national archives have only completed their work up to 1916. A: The National Archives offers an online database of home children who arrived in Canada between 1869-1930. The Young Immigrants To Canada website should provide more guidance. Good luck! Do you have an answer for this question? Have an Ontario genealogy question that's not answered on OntarioGenWeb?
