High Fives - December 15, 2017






High Fives are articles or blog posts I have read during the week that I find interesting, and perhaps are pertinent to my research. Sometimes there are only a couple and sometimes there are quite a few.



Manitoba Ancestors: Hudson's Bay Company Archives
~by Candice McDonald at Finding Your Canadian Story
Since my husband’s ancestors were in the fur trade, I have been over this site many times.  Still, Candi managed to show me parts of the site I have never visited. Thanks!


The Secret Sign Language of The Ottoman Court
~by Amelia Soth at JSTOR Daily
Interesting post about a 17th Century sign language


English Cause Papers - Finding Your Ancestor Mentioned
~by Sharn White on Family History 4U
Informative post on Cause Papers. I never heard of them! Use the advanced search to stick to a county.


New Content and LAFRANCE Update on Genealogy Quebec
~by InstitutDruin at Généalogie Québec
They have also changed up their menu.


How to search historical newspapers online with Quebec Archives’ new search engine: Part 1
~by Gail Dever at Genealogy à la carte
