EB Lapointe
The leading online network connecting families, MyFamily.com, Inc.,
launched a new Canadian family research site, Ancestry.ca <http://www.ancestry.ca> on Tuesday, January 24th, 2006.
They are offering one of the largest collections of Canadian family
records online, including more than 150 million names, and the first
and only fully-indexed 1911 Census of Canada collection online.
"Ancestry.ca is designed to provide Canadians and those people with
Canadian ancestry the most comprehensive tools and the content needed
to easily and effectively research their family history," said Tim
Sullivan, president and chief executive officer of MyFamily.com, Inc.
The site contains a significant amount of Canadian content never before published online.
"The fully indexed 1911 Census of Canada is searchable by family name
for the first time anywhere on the web," said Sullivan. "The census,
only the fifth general census in Canada, includes information on each
inhabitant of the country, including place of habitation, marital
status, age, place of birth, religion, occupation, education and more.
It is truly a wealth of information to anyone researching Canadian
ancestry."
Other record collections on the site include content beginning in 1592
and continued through 2002. Records from all provinces and territories
are represented.
A membership fee is required for searching the records.
