Remembrance Day, 11 November at 7 pm BIFHSGO past president and former military archivist Glenn Wright will present Sacrifice: Researching Canada's War, 1914-1945. This presentation to OGS York Branch will identify and explore the major resources, online and otherwise, for researching Canada's war dead. Documenting those of our ancestors who have paid the ultimate sacrifice is more than family history or genealogy, it is an act of remembrance and commemoration.

The following day, 12 November, also at 7 pm, Ken McKinlay presents Second World War-Researching the Canadian Fallen. "Researching relatives and ancestors who fought for Canada in the Second World War can be a challenge, especially since many of the records are not yet available online. In this talk we will be looking at the various resources to help you in researching those that ultimately gave their life in the service of Canada in the Second World War. We will also touch upon additional resources to help you in your research of those that survived that conflict.”

On Saturday 14 November, 10:00 am Philip G. Winkelaar will present Going Down of the Sun for BIFHSGO. He searched school records, memoirs, official histories, church and military records to document the lives of those remembered on brass plaques at Knox Presbyterian Church, Ottawa. He will talk about his research and how he brought to life those who are generally unremarked but who are remembered every Remembrance Sunday. These stories allow us to solemnly declare: “At the Going Down of the Sun, and In the Morning, We Will Remember Them.”
