| Dear Fellow Genealogist,
The U.S.-Canadian border might look like a clean line on a map, but its history is anything but simple. Treaties, surveys and shifting boundaries shaped where that line is drawn and the records created along the way can offer useful clues for genealogists researching families that lived, traveled or migrated near it.
In today's newsletter, we highlight a guide to the history of this border and the records connected to it. And if your research leads north, join us for a rebroadcast of our Find Your Canadian Roots course later today to learn even more strategies for researching your ancestors in the Great White North.
We also share tips for preserving military memorabilia and a guide to researching World War I records and family history. From borders to battlefields, these records can help place our ancestors within the larger events that shaped their lives.
Following the paper trail across the 49th parallel,
— Katharine, Digital Editor of Family Tree Magazine
