Upper Canada and Lower Canada. Canada West and Canada East. Ontario and Quebec. These are two of the foundational provinces of the Dominion of Canada since the arrival of explorers to these shores over four hundred years ago. In this hands-on course, students will gain a better understanding of the geography, history and people of Ontario and Quebec by examining and discussing various federal and provincial records.
Student objectives include:
- identifying the religious denominations of their ancestors in Canada
- learning about the seigneurial land system, Crown land records and the Ontario Land Registry system, and determining if their ancestor owned property
- examining the colonial, provincial or federal military records
- determining if their ancestor was a desired immigrant to Canada
- discovering reasons people crossed the Canada-USA border and why they may have been denied entry into Canada
- exploring repositories, archives and websites for Ontario and Quebec research.
New skills will be gained through working with original records and participation in weekly class and group activities. Homework assignments and discussions will enhance students’ experiences and success in this course. Written feedback will be provided on weekly homework assignments. Students can expect to spend up to five hours per week on homework assignments.
