About the Event
Do you have ancestors with a Canadian connection?
Did you know that Canada had its own version of the Chinese Exclusion Act, similar to the one passed in the United States in 1882?
Join the Chinese Family History Group - Southern California for a fascinating talk with Linda Yip, Accredited Genealogist®, as she explores how both countries restricted Chinese immigration — and what it means for family history research today.
The Canadian government kept detailed records on every Chinese immigrant, but for many years, these records were hard to access. Linda has spent years working to make these records available to the public. She’ll also share helpful tips on how to research your Chinese ancestry across both Canadian and U.S. borders.
The webinar will be recorded and available to registrants.
