May's Meeting is VIRTUAL ONLY: Why Finding Atlantic Shipping Records is Challenging, Speaker: Tony Hanson

Between 1500 and 1914 approximately 40 million people crossed the Atlantic and settled in the United States, and another 5 million settled, at least initially, in Canada. Finding records for these emigrants can be challenging and frustrating. This presentation will provide attendees with an understanding of how emigrants traveled to North America during this timeframe, an overview of the records that documented their journeys and a strategy for locating available records.

CCGS program meetings featuring guest speakers are on the second Wednesday of each month September - June from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. May's program is ONLINE ONLY. Check the CCGS page to get the Zoom link for the virtual meeting.
