Is Information About My Canadian Ancestors Embedded Within?
From the Allen County, Indiana, Library's Ezines publication, resources for finding ancestors in Canada (Finding Canadian Settlers in British Military Records). Three of the 584 reels of microfilm of the "British Military Records, C series, 1757-1899," at the National Archives of Canada are housed at the Library in Fort Wayne. The entire collection is available through an LDS Family History Center loan.

Thanks! Family lore is that my Hollington ancestor arrived in Canada with the British Army. Now I just need to more that item up on my to-do list.
Hope we both find goodies in those records!
