British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa - Leaving their Scottish Homes. What Were They Thinking?

The British Isles Family History Society of Greater Ottawa (BIFHSGO), is a Canadian family history society with a focus on the British Isles. Our members connect with like-minded researchers to learn effective research methods and practices, share their knowledge, and inspire other family historians with their presentations and published stories. Our Name Index provides information from our ongoing research on home children, military ancestors, and migration, focusing on British Isles and Canadian ancestry.

This year’s BIFHSGO's Virtual Annual Conference took place on Saturday/Sunday 28-29 October 2023

Ever wondered why your ancestors left their homes in Scotland? All presentations will be online and available to view for a month after the end of the conference.
