Mh1931canada

Happy day for those with family in Canada in 1931! MyHeritage has announced its publication of the 1931 Canadian census collection, which includes a complete new index created by MyHeritage. This collection, which contains information on 10.4 million individuals living in Canada in 1931, is the latest addition to MyHeritage's vast collection of Canadian historical documents, now encompassing 175 collections with 113.7 million records in total.

The search engine worked its magic and I found my wife's grandmother living in Alberta:

Understand your family history in a fun and engaging way with analytics that includes charts and metrics, while also being able to see your ancestors’ stats quickly!
 

About the presenter

Diane Henriks is a Los Angeles County based professional genealogist; investigator; speaker; and author, specializing in finding descendants in family trees; brick wall research; and unknown parentage. She has worked closely with private investigators to find living people, while also assisting in background investigations, in both civil and criminal cases. She is a proud member of the Association of Professional Genealogists, the Genealogical Speakers Guild, and the Southern California Genealogical Society. What started out as a small hobby over a decade ago, when a hand drawn family tree chart was given to her by her father, has since become a great obsession! She now helps others journey through their family histories and/or locate missing pieces, through Know Who Wears the Genes in Your Family, while stressing the importance of preserving family history for future generations and trying to get all involved in their own family history. Family history isn’t just genealogy; it’s about connecting your past, present, and future, to give you a sense of who you are, while carrying on the memory of those that came before.

About the presenter

JannaHelshtein-144x144Janna Helshtein’s journey into genealogy started over 20 years ago prompted by an innocent question from her (then) toddler about people in the family. This journey took a turn into genetic genealogy over 7 years ago discovering her ex-partner’s biological parents and uniting him with a family he never knew. So, all beginnings were close to heart. She is the founder of DNA AT EYE LEVEL, and besides helping others in their search for bio-family, she helps the Hebrew-speaking community access the world of DNA through teaching, counselling and public speaking. She believes everyone deserves to know their truth and have the tools to do it at hand.
