Great work Lorine.
Thanks Lorine. I am a Canadian researcher of my husband's family and always need help. You have been a light to me in this endeavor. Understanding Canada through other's writings are a great help.
Lorine,
I want to let you know that your blog post is listed in today's Fab Finds post at http://janasgenealogyandfamilyhistory.blogspot.com/2015/11/follow-friday-fab-finds-for-november-13.html
Have a great weekend!
Terry (Terrance) Punch is very well known in Nova Scotia. I've met him a few times. He has several books out and has given talks on many subjects across the province over the years. He is the resident genealogist on CBC radio for the call-in show on Fridays. This show has been on for years.
Here's a link where you can listen to him on Maritime Noon, CBC Radio: http://www.cbc.ca/maritimenoon/2015/07/13/distracted-driving-accident-your-redhead-stories-terry-punch/
Here's a link to one of his earlier books "Genealogical Research in Nova Scotia". If you click the author's name, you'll see his other books: http://www.amazon.ca/Genealogical-Research-NS-Terrence-Punch/dp/1551092352/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1447723373&sr=8-2&keywords=terrence+punch
He chooses not to have an Internet presence.
Hi Lorine - my website is: http://www.mikequack.com
Thank you for sharing this list.

I am not a Canadian Genealogist and occasionally write about my Zumstein and Comfort ancestors from Ontario, Canada. Unfortunately, I am focused on my Geiszler line in Ohio (which married the Zumstein line that immigrated to the USA). When I return to the Canadians, I'll let you know.
However, I would love to know who is a great resource for Ontario, Canadian questions. Such as, who knows the common abbreviations for the religions that appear in the Canadian census?
Or, if I run into a stumbling block researching in Canada, who would be the first person you'd contact for advice.
Thanks for compiling this list.
There's also Celia Lewis of Vancouver, BC, who blogs at http://twigsandtrees.blogspot.ca/
Rick Roberts is with GlobalGenealogy.com
Lesley Anderson is with Ancestry.ca
Linda Reid and James F.S. Thomson are Toronto Branch, OGS members. Linda runs the e-newsletter and gives talks. James teaches lots of courses.
Hilary Dawson is an excellent genealogist as well. She specializes in Black Canadians, especially Ontario.
Kathie Orr is another great Ontario genealogist. She is an expert on land records.
Johanne Gervais is in Quebec http://quebecfamilysearch.com/
Linda Hauley at www.tracemyancestree.com
Francine Mulherin in NB www.mulheringenealogyservices.com
Elizabeth Lapointe of Genealogy Canada - Elizabeth passed away March 13, 2017.
I've found a tremendous amount of family info at Darryl Bonk's Waterloo Region Generations. I highly recommend the site to those with roots in the Waterloo County/Region area.
