Genealogy Summer Camp


Toronto, 12-17August 2012
Toronto Branch, Ontario Genealogical Society

Genealogy Summer Camp is a unique program (for adults) that brings out-of-town family historians to Toronto for an intensive week of tutorials and hands-on research at the many archives and reference libraries in the city. If you have ancestors from Toronto or other parts of Ontario, there are many resources here for you. Local family historians are also welcome to participate as “day campers”.

We take full advantage of Toronto’s great public transit system, and we keep the group small to allow lots of help from our local experts.
We’ll help you spend more time finding information about your ancestors —and less time finding the archives.
This will be our 16th Summer Camp. More than 125 participants from England, right across Canada and many US states have attended the 15 previous Summer Camps—some more than once!
Genealogy “Summer Camp” 2012 will take place from August 12-17. The Summer Camp fee for 2012 is $230 (Cdn), which covers approximately 7 hours of lectures and tutorials, 25 hours of hands-on instruction and all worksheets and handouts.

For details as to venues, resources, tutorials and accommodation, and to download an application package, visit www.torontofamilyhistory.org/summercamp.html, or contact Jane MacNamara at info@torontofamilyhistory.org.
Applications should be received by 11 June 2012.
