SUMMARY:Museum of Lennox and Addington: Using Genealogy and DNA to Trace our Refugee Roots
DESCRIPTION:If you dig a bit into most family trees you will find ancestors from across the country and around the world.  Why did they move around? Was it their choice or were they forced to move away?  Chances are that some were forced out and made refugees. What different tools can a genealogist use to locate these ancestors and their stories? How do you find those ancestors if your grandparents had to leave with only the clothes on their backs and never wanted to talk about where they came from or what happened? What can we do to trace the family tree with the one thing that every refugee took with them? \nSPEAKER BIOGRAPHY:\nJim Sova is a volunteer with the Archives at the Museum of Lennox and Addington. He has a passion for helping others solve family tree mysteries and unlocking the potential of DNA testing. \n— For ages 13+\n— $3/person\n— No pre-registration required

SUMMARY:British Isles Family History Society and the Ulster Historical Foundation present: Irish Family History Research Day
DESCRIPTION:Want to discover your Irish and Scots-Irish ancestors? \nMany people believe that researching Irish ancestors is impossible because of the destruction of the Public Record Office in 1922.

SUMMARY:Thunder Bay Museum Free Public Lecture (In Person and Virtual): Nancy Angus - Places and Faces: The Stories behind the Stories of Place During a Pandemic and Today
DESCRIPTION:Please join the Thunder Bay Historical Museum Society for a lecture from Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the Places and Faces project. This will be an in-person event that is free to view. The lecture will be broadcast live via ZOOM for those who cannot attend in person and recorded and posted to the Museum’s YouTube at a later date. \nClick here to view the webinar \nDESCRIPTION: \nJoin Nancy Angus\, founder of Age BIG and co-coordinator of the PLACES & FACES project as we share its stories. Learn more about the concept of placemaking and hear how our storytellers\, all 65 years or better\, captured their stories digitally (in videos composed of photos and voice-overs)\, as audio recordings and as written accounts. \nPLACES & FACES asked storytellers to recognize a place or places that fostered a sense of connection and belonging to their community\, outside of their home. With senior centres and other facilities closed during the pandemic\, we heard many stories about how older adults engaged in placemaking to overcome barriers to social connection. This project demonstrated how resilient and creative people can be in making those connections. \nPlacemaking is often concerned with planning\, designing\, and managing public spaces in ways “that promote people’s health\, happiness\, and well-being.” Emerging research is now focusing on placemaking as a way that people “transform physical spaces into socially relevant and meaningful places.” PLACES & FACES has gathered some of the stories that highlight how older adults in Thunder Bay are actively creating and negotiating their sense of place as they age. \nJoin Nancy and our storytellers as we celebrate their stories and learn from their experiences. Through stories such as these\, we hope to inspire others\, young and old alike\, to find or create their own places. In doing so\, they can help others who are physically isolated or feeling lonely to find connections that matter as well. \nFree Museum Admission during the event. Refreshments will be available.
