Event Details:
With professional genealogist, Linda Corupe, Thursday April 18th 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm. Early newspapers from our province offer a wide variety of items which can be of help to both historians and genealogists. This presentation includes a discussion of the different types of newspapers available to the researcher, what can be found in each, their evolution in our province, and how to access them.
Linda Corupe, U.E., the author of over 50 books on genealogy and history and a well-known researcher and presenter, is a descendant of a United Empire Loyalist from the Napanee area. Among her notable publications are annotated transcriptions of court records, heir and devisee records, and bastardy affidavits. Linda earned her B.A. from McMaster University and is a member of the United Empire Loyalist Association of Canada, the Ontario Genealogical Society and the Ontario Historical Society. One of her favourite places to be is at the Archives of Ontario, where she has spent countless hours researching for both clients and her own interests.
