Title: Finding the records for impossible genealogy – lessons learned from a Chinese Canadian genealogist

Speaker: Linda Yip

Details: When researching your family tree, we are taught to look for resources like birth, marriage and death records, land records and many others. In this session, Linda will explain how family historians exploring underrepresented populations may find rich and unexpected records created by exclusionary laws. While the examples draw from Linda’s expertise in tracing Chinese families, family historians researching other “impossible” groups will be sure to gain insights and tips they can use in their research.
