CBC’s Who Do You Think You Are has brought a lot of attention to genealogy. People in my library and I am sure all over Canada are logging into http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/genealogy/index-e.html and turning to their local libraries for help to trace their ancestry. VPL has a pamphlet called Explore Your Chinese-Canadian Roots available at http://www.vpl.ca/ccg/ and an information sheet on Indo-Canadian History. Being an Indo-Canadian myself I have always wondered about researching in this area. I know that none of my folks came to Canada but they did go to other places. I am sure it would be thrilling to find out about ones’ forefathers and point ones' place in the family tree.
Are you looking for more information? Your local library should have the databases and print sources necessary. Look for these databases:
1. Ancestry Library Edition
2. Biography and Genealogy Master Index
Other Sources:
• Marriage records
• birth records
• death records (obituary index)
• Census
• Immigration and Citizenship records
