The Year Ahead – June 1

In the January/February 2024 issue of Family Tree Magazine, they have introduced The Year Ahead, 366 genealogy tips will make 2024 your best research year yet by Lisa A Alzo. Lisa mapped out a day-by-day research plan.

June 1 – The 1931 census of Canada recherche-collection-search.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/census/index was related to the public one year ago today. Have you checked it for your ancestors?

I like check census records to see what the family unit looks like during the census year. Have they added any more children, have any children disappeared from the census. Did they marry and moved away? Did they die and you need to look for a death record. Were they missed completely? Are you looking in the correct spot. Was their surname butchered in the census and this is why you can’t find them?

Did you know you can use wildcard characters in your search. I typed in a first name of S* and then entered my desired last name. Anyone who’s first name or middle name started with a S and my entered last name appeared in my search.

Remember to have fun and Just do Genealogy!
