Genealogical Society of Collier CountyCanadian eSIG

Welcome

              and  

Bienvenue

We are happy that you chose to visit our area for the Genealogical Society of Collier County members with a shared special interest in Canadian Genealogy.

This group operates primarily on the Internet. We meet on the third Thursday of the month from 1:30 PM to 3 PM via ZOOM. Our meetings are scheduled from September through November and January through May. There are no meetings in December or from June through August.

In addition to ZOOM meeting presenters, we conduct periodic genealogical roundtables discussing research to help you find answers. All participants have a chance to speak about their research, their stonewalls, and perhaps most importantly, what is helpful.

Our goal is mutual aid.

While the GSCC is located in the Naples area of Southwest Florida, membership in our 🇨🇦 Canadian eSIG is open to any GSCC member. Our meetings, and your participation, are only as far away as your tablet or computer.

If you are interested in this 🇨🇦Canadian eSIG, contact us at thegsccCanadianeSIG@gmail.com

and we will add you to our email list and provide an invitation to our next zoom get-together.

Membership inquiries from individuals who are not current members of the GSCC are always welcome at the link to GSCC membership information is:  https://thegscc.org/membership/

In addition to the regular schedule of ZOOM meetings, our activities will include:

• Periodic round tables where we exchange points of interest such as migratory routes to and through Canada, the United States, New England, and the American Midwest.
• Discussions may be open on specific ancestral subject areas such as the Union Empire Loyalists, Metis, Les Filles De Roi, or locations like the Maritimes, British Columbia, and the Prairie Provinces.
• Listings of forthcoming meetings, presentations, etc., presented by GSCC plus many Canadian-related online and in-person genealogical vents.
• Also included is our extensive list of links, websites, articles, and blogs selected to enhance your Canadian genealogical research. (An abridged sample is below)
