“A database created by three genealogy groups will help thousands of Canadians get in touch with their heritage.”
“The Canadian Genealogy Centre, a branch of the Library and Archives of Canada, recently placed the names of all Canadians naturalized as citizens between 1915 and 1932 on its Web site. There are about 200,000 names there for this first phase of the project. Phase 2 will involved the years 1933 to 1951.”
“I estimate close to 600,000 in the final version,” says Alan Greenberg, vice-president of the Jewish Genealogical Society of Montreal. “The exact number is difficult to estimate prior to the work beginning.”
“This Montreal group teamed up with the Jewish Genealogical Society of Ottawa and the Canadian Genealogical Centre to create this resource, the data of which is about half made up of Jews from Europe.” (from IT Business)
