Welcome to Ottawa Genealogy

Welcome to the blog of Ottawa Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society. We recently celebrated 40 years of helping genealogists in the Ottawa area.

If you are searching your family roots in Ottawa, or are in Ottawa and searching your roots around the world, we can assist you. Branch members have years of experience in the hobby and we can help you avoid our mistakes. :-)  We meet monthly, except for July and August, and host the annual Gene-O-Rama Conference in the spring. For more information on joining OGS and Ottawa Branch go to: http://www.ogs.on.ca/membership.php

City of Ottawa Archives - Reference Room

In breaking news, the new City of Ottawa Archives will open later this month. The facilities are state-of-the art and I am sure that all will be pleased with the new home for our library. We are always looking for more volunteers, so if you would like to help in the Archives, see here or contact me.
