Hi Denise:

I have been meaning to answer your request for some time. I have found lots of interesting sites that will be of interest to you and to anyone whose family lived in or near Canada.

I am just going to list the URL's for you browse through. Many are connected to the Underground Railroad. The ones I found the most interesting were about communities that sprung up independently of America.

Here are a few:

Below is the Black Archives of Ontario:

And one Underground RR site with links to museums:

Enjoy

I'm interested in finding links to lists of African-Canadians -
: particularly escaped slaves from the US who settled in Canada,
: and would like to know sources available, or websites folks have
: found useful.

: I already have access to census data - so am more interested in
: organizations or societies that helped the newly arrived - and
: any lists or data about them.

: Thanks,

: Denise
