No clue! I have barely glanced at the photo discussions, since it’s the document-gathering stuff that is relevant to me. But I’ve noted a lot of discussion on the Canadian Citizenship by Descent Facebook group about what others have done.
There is certainly a lot of online discussion about getting the right photos!
48,000 awaiting approval of their applications for Canadian Citizenship certificates already, and this is still early days. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/... #billc-3 #genealogy #canadiangenealogy
It's RootsTech & FamilyTreeDNA has released discount codes at their virtual booth in the Expo Hall. If you've been waiting to Y-DNA or mtDNA test, now is the time. Or transfer a copy of your DNA test from Ancestry etc. & unlock FTDNA's DNA tools free #genealogy www.familysearch.org/en/rootstech...
My blog post about the uptick in Canadian Citizenship record requests, and the changes in the amalgamation plans for some Ontario religious archives #genealogy #familyhistory #CanadianGenealogy www.cmgenealogy.com/post/canadia...
An important reminder to learn the limitations of any AI tools you are working with
IGRS Top Research Tip #191: Cork City Libraries has a terrific online collection of scanned images of Cork City and County maps, the earliest dating from 1545: shorturl.at/Qqu3o
That would drive me nuts
Fair. I've only tried a few times when it was personal. Generally an ineffective exercise in frustration.
Good luck getting that fixed! Dozens of Ancestry trees have my dad as deceased (he isn't), because they found the death of a totally different man with a similar name, who lived in a different country. One day I spent a long time messaging everyone. A couple people did fix it.
The genealogist has supposedly proved that both candidates for Tom's grandfather were not Indigenous. But did they prove who Tom's grandfather actually was, using DNA, in case it was a 3rd man? If not, a huge gap is missing in the evidence. 2/2 #genealogy #geneticgenealogy
Still stuck on the Tom King having no Indigenous ancestry. According to the Globe, he "didn't think DNA tests were accurate when it came to Indigenous genealogical markers". With Tom's father's paternity is in question, DNA is the only thing that is going to sort that out. ½ #DNA #genealogy
And this post from Tom King himself #genealogy #familyhistory
Wow! Another major revelation brought to us by genealogists #genealogy #familyhistory

Honoured to welcome Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin to Ottawa today.
As one of nearly five million Canadians with Irish roots, I know the opportunities our partnership has created. Together, we’re deepening those ties — for greater prosperity on both sides of the Atlantic.
