Chinese -Canadian Genealogy website re:www.vpl.ca/ccg/

" ... Phase 2 of the Chinese-Canadian Genealogy website, launched on May 31st. Phase 2 includes new pages on a wide range of topics, including citizenship and naturalization, church records, land records, wills and estates, and more. The â?oBack to Chinaâ?� section has been expanded to include more information about genealogical research and resources in China. In addition, on the recommendation of our informal advisory group from the local Chinese-Canadian community, a new section on Chinese-American genealogy has been added. This reflects the a large volume of historical Chinese transmigration between the U.S. and Canada. The expanded site now also includes prototypes of finding aids for locating Chinese individuals in 1891 census records and 1911 ship passenger lists.
The launch of Phase 2 has proved to be very timely, as it has coincided with a surge of interest in the historical head tax records. The site includes information about the General Register, and information about other documents and records which may be helpful in pinpointing the date of an ancestor's arrival in Canada and locating them in the records. The site is at www.vpl.ca/ccg/ "
