Review: "Genealogy to Go!: Migration: Canada and the United States"

Elizabeth Lapointe, a Canadian genealogist, (www.GenealogyToGo.ca) has published several Genealogy To Go! laminated research guide booklets that are extremely useful as basic guides to the subject at hand.  They cover the why, when, and how of each of the events in North American history.




This booklet, Migration: Canada and the United States, explains the long migrational history between Canada and the United States.  topics on Canadian migration include the Acadian migration to Louisiana, migration to the "Boston States," and French-Canadian migration.  Topics on american migration to Canada include New England Planters to Nova Scotia, the United Empire Loyalists, and the settlement of Central Canada.  Migration patterns are also discussed.
