Genealogy CUE for Weekend of October 9 - 11, 2015



Happy Thanksgiving! Here's your Genealogy Canada Updates and Events for this holiday weekend.

Events

All Weekend

Not surprisingly there's not much of anything going on this week-end for organized family history events. Most Canadians will be celebrating Thanksgiving with family and friends. Why not celebrate Family History Month as well? Share family stories, take lots of photos, ask for DNA samples, or go for a cemetery walk.

Sunday

If you're in Toronto this weekend you might want to take advantage of the FREE ROMWalk: Heart of Toronto
