Family Tree

As a new immigrant to Canada, your ancestors had to overcome some great obstacles. Your task is to return to your family tree, find one person who you are going to trace back to Europe during this time period (1815 - 1900) and answer the following questions:

1. Where did my European ancestors come from?
2. When did my ancestors immigrate?
3. Why did they come to North America?

Some sites that will help you track down your family:
