Many Irish emigrants sailed to Canada, even those who later settled in the States. Canada was fully part of Great Britain until 1867, along with Ireland, so in many respects it was easier and cheaper for Irish to sail to Canada.

Using her 2x GGF and 5x GGM as case studies, Janelle will discuss waves of immigration from Ireland, the "push & pull" to Canada, key destinations and Irish settlements. Key archives for researching these ancestors will be reviewed, and even Irish immigration south from Canada.

Audience level: all
