Penny Allen, a Canadian librarian living in London, has been helping me with some information for a presentation I'm scheduled to give in Canada Day. She found that about three-quarters of most;y UK genealogists who responded to a survey knew of people from their family tree who came to Canada. A few additional percent had stories they hadn't confirmed.
I'm returning the compliment by highlighting Penny's blog https://ukcdngenealogy.blogspot.com/ and in particular a post from a while back on
Phone Books for Canadian Prairies Genealogy

John, a most interesting post. I was delighted to see a copy of an advertising poster from the 1930s saying come to Canada for free land. I have loved to see such things at LAC when researching.
So I posted it to FB, and gave you and your blog the credit for this. Should have named your chum who wrote all this stuff but will now. DUH!! BT
Oh, I am surprised and so pleased that you've highlighted my blog articles John. It's always a pleasure to help a fellow genealogist. There used to be a term in the olden days genealogy world - ROAGK - do you remember that one? Many thanks! Penny
