What's new for Canadian genealogy: 7-week summary

Below is a summary of Canadian family history collections that have been either newly released or updated by the major genealogy databases during the last seven weeks. The last summary list was published on 29 September, see 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 in a new collection, or the total number in a topped-up collection (if provided by the database owner). I don't usually include updates of less than one thousand records.
