Other Genealogy Groups

Don't forget the other major genealogical society in the nation's capital. Since 1994,the British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa, or BIFHSGO, has encouraged and facillitated research and its publication by people with ancestry in England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, the Channel Island and the Isle of Man. For more on their upcoming meeting, check out John Reid's blog, Anglo Celtic Connections

If you are researching "up the valley", you will want to visit the Upper Ottawa Valley Genealogy Group in Pembroke.

And in Lanark County, you can find the Lanark County Genealogical Society and their archives. They are an independent group with expertise in learning about and using the genealogical resources in this area and can provide assistance in research and links to resources in the Lanark County Area.
