Hi Shirley Welcome to Genes. Where in Sask. are you? My Dad was born in Saskatoon, and all his side of the family are in Canada. My Aunt lives in Regina, but most of the rest of the family have now migrated to B.C.! My family originated from Scotland and went to Ontario in the early 1820s. My Great Grandpa travelled Canada & U.S.A. before deciding Saskatchewan was the best place to put down roots! Sue in England xx

Hi Shirley; Welcome to Genes. You will find lots of helpful people here. Visit us on the Canada and friends around the world thread on this board when you get a chance. Check out the Canadian Archives site or the olive tree genealogy site. Both are great for Canadian research. Teresa in Calgary

Hi Shirley, Go to "Your Homepage" on the left and click on "Getting Started". If you need help with lookup, then post some details on the Records Office Board. Good luck, Crista
