Genealogists can sometimes require obscure resources when in search of information about ancestors. Tracking down records to complete a family tree can become laborious when the researcher doesn't know where to begin looking. Many of the best resources are maintained regionally or even locally, and aren’t widely known. This reference work serves as a guide to both beginning and experienced genealogy researchers. The sourcebook is easily accessible and usable, featuring approximately 270 entries on all aspects of genealogical research and family history compilation. The entries are listed alphabetically and cross-referenced so any researcher can quickly find the information he or she is seeking. Each state and each of the provinces of Canada has its own entry; other countries are listed under appropriate headings. The author also provides more than 700 addresses from all over the world so that the genealogist or general researcher may contact any one of these organizations to obtain specific information about particular births, deaths, marriages, or other life events in order to complete a family tree.

Marie Rose Delorme Smith was a woman of French-Métis ancestry who was born during the fur trade era and who spent her adult years as a pioneer rancher in the Pincher Creek district of southern Alberta. The Identities of Marie Rose Delorme Smith examines how Marie Rose negotiates her identities--as mother, boarding house owner, homesteader, medicine woman, midwife, and writer--during the changing environment of the western plains during the late nineteenth century.

In Metis Pioneers, Doris Jeanne MacKinnon compares the survival strategies of two Metis women born during the fur trade—one from the French-speaking free trade tradition and one from the English-speaking Hudson’s Bay Company tradition—who settled in southern Alberta as the Canadian West transitioned to a sedentary agricultural and industrial economy. MacKinnon provides rare insight into their lives, demonstrating the contributions Metis women made to the building of the Prairie West. This is a compelling tale of two women’s acts of quiet resistance in the final days of the British Empire.

Collected Writings by Joseph J. Goodman A Book Found A Life Revealed A Legacy Preserved Enlightening and TouchingLong Lost Book Takes Readers on an Amazing Emotional and Historical Journey In 2008 Leah Hammer found her grandfathers book, Collected Writings, at the Yiddish Book Center in Amherst, Massachusetts. Gezamelte Shriften, published entirely in Yiddish in 1919, has now been translated into English and presented in this bilingual edition. Collected Writings turned out to be a remarkable collection of poetry, essays and stories, not only about the author, Joseph J. Goodman, but also about the Canadian Jewish immigrant experience. The editor of Collected Writings, Harriet Goodman Hoffman, also a granddaughter of Joseph Goodman, is a professional genealogist. Realizing a treasure had been discovered that would give his descendants an incredible opportunity to know their ancestor, she has researched and written an extensive chronology about Goodmans life, a biography of his Russian years, information about people and places mentioned in the text, the growth of the Canadian Jewish community, and the Yiddish language. Hoffmans work is a model of how to prepare and publish literary works discovered during genealogical research. Bilingual edition translated for the first time into English from the original Yiddish. For more than a thousand years, Yiddish was the language of Ashkenazi Jews. Unlike most languages spoken in particular areas, Yiddish at the height of its usage, was spoken by millions of Jews of different nationalities. This side-by-side YiddishEnglish format of Collected Writings maintains the authors intention to preserve the Yiddish language. This presentation allows the authors work to be shown as it appeared in the original 1919 publication Harriet Goodman Hoffman, Joseph Goodmans granddaughter, is a professional genealogist. She has appended an extensive chronology of Josephs life, biographical information about his Russian and young adult years, sections about some of the people and places mentioned in the book, and a brief discussion about the Yiddish language. Hannah Berliner Fischthal, PhD, is an adjunct Professor of English at St. Johns University, New York. In addition to having published widely about Yiddish and Jewish literature, she serves as a Yiddish translator for Jewishgen.org, and is co-Book Review Editor of Studies in American Jewish Literature (SAJL). Dr. H.B. Fischthal has provided a comprehensive Translators Introduction for the text. Collected Writings by J. J. Goodman is a remarkable text. The author probably valued his poetry the mostYet I believe that it is as a Jewish settler in Canada, as an intellectual and a writer, as a reporter of the provinces in the early twentieth century, that he reaches his greatest heights Hannah Berliner Fischthal From Translators Introduction

With a unique how-to appendix for Metis genealogical reconstruction, this book will be of interest to Metis wanting to research their own genealogy and to scholars engaged in the reconstruction of Metis ethnic identity. The search for a Metis identity and what constitutes that identity is a key issue facing many aboriginals of mixed ancestry today. This book reconstructs 250 years of the Desjarlais' family history across a substantial area of North America, from colonial Louisiana, the St. Louis, Missouri, region and the American Southwest to the Red River and central Alberta. In the course of tracing the Desjarlais family, social, economic and political factors influencing the development of various Aboriginal ethnic identities are discussed. With intriguing details about the Desjarlais family members, this book offers new, original insights into the 1885 Northwest Rebellion, focusing on kinship as a motivating factor in the outcome of events.
