The St. Catharines Public Library’s first Genealogy Fair was a great success!

We would like to thank Ontario Ancestors for all of their support and for helping us to secure speakers and prizes.  We also want to thank both Ontario Ancestors and the Mayholme Foundation for providing volunteer family history researchers to answer genealogical questions.

We are grateful to all of our guest speakers who shared their time, knowledge and expertize on the day of the fair.  Thank you, as well, to all of the organizations that generously donated prizes for the event.   We would also like to thank each of our exhibitors for providing valuable information about their resources and services and finally, thank you to all of our registrants for participating in this event and helping to make it such a success.
