I was surprised to learn from Lesley Anderson, BIFHSGO's Director of Education who gave a brief presentation prior to Saturday's main BIFHSGO presentation, that the Ottawa Stake Family History Centre, where she volunteers every second Friday, now offers free access at the Centre to some great genealogy databases.
19th Century British Library Newspaper Digital Archive
FindMyPast.co.uk
Footnote.com
The Genealogist
Godfrey Memorial Library (including the London Times Digital Archives)
Heritage Quest Online
World Vital Records
Couple these with full access to the Ancestry.ca databases through Ancestry Library at all branches of the Ottawa Public Library and you have every reason to visit for an occasional search.
If not in Ottawa, and 40% of ACC readers are, you'll likely find the same access at your local Family History Centre and Public Library.
