New & updated Canada collections: 3-month summary

Below you'll find my summary of the new and updated Canadian records released by the major genealogy database suppliers over the last three months. For the previous summary, see my 11 February blogpost.

These regular listings of additional sources are designed primarily to help family historians whose Irish ancestors emigrated to Canada, but you don't have to have heritage from Ireland!

They may prove useful to any researcher looking for a brief update of what's been recently made available for tracing ancestors in Canada.

Unless otherwise stated, the figures in parenthesis reflect the number of records uploaded to a new collection, or the total number in a newly topped-up collection (if provided by the database owner).
