@DevonP_RD @CP24 I guess we will know tomorrow

This is what you get from this man child. He is without question #TrudeauWorstPMEver and Canada will NOT survive another four years of this incompetent fool if he gets a majority.

[🇨🇦 'Chelle 🇨🇦 @Shooo2Shooo2]

The only promises #TrudeauWorstPMEver kept were legalizing weed & sex with underage minors. Everything Just-In ever wanted in life 🙄

My fellow Canadians, please, please do not give PM Trudeau a majority government. His track record speaks for itself. My blog is not a political one - I love Canada - we should not be heading to the polls in the midst of this pandemic. #TrudeauMustGo #CanadaVotes

@geneastories Newspapers are my favorite source to search! I have been searching papers for a while and I still found some great tips in this post. I especially like the OCR variants. Thanks also for all the great links as well. Cheers! #newspapers #familyhistory

@historyof_you Personally I enjoy depth of research and would tell Uncle Joe's story but it really depends on what the client wants #Genealogy #familyhistory

I find it strange that I’m getting emails from Cogeco, TD Bank etc telling me they’re taking extra precautions during the Covid-19 situation... how about you wave any late fees/monthly bank fees etc until your customers are back to getting pay cheques #justsaying #covidontario

As a newcomer to the world of AncestryDNA I thought I would share my top three first impressions! #ancestrydna #ancestry https://t.co/1BvQmj3Ia9

@geneastories My Grandfather for sure. Even as a kid I remember hearing stories of overcoming adversity and looking through old black and white photos #familyhistory #gratitude #ancestry

@MaidofWilland That can be so frustrating! Irish research can be tough going at times.

[Elusive Ancestor @elusiveancestor]

What counties in Ireland do your kin hail from? #antrim #cavan #derry #monaghan #fermanagh #down #wicklow

[Elusive Ancestor @elusiveancestor]

I totally agree, newspapers provide some great context even when my ancestors aren't specifically mentioned!

[Natalie Pithers / Genealogy Stories @geneastories]

@elusiveancestor Snap! Newspapers are by far my most loved resource. I use them for all sorts of different research. From looking up family names, to finding out when their street got electric lighting. Or even looking at adverts and clues to social history.

What are your favorite type of records to search when researching your ancestors? I love the stories in old newspapers! #Genealogy #familyhistory
