Origin and purposes of the federated search engine
WHAT'S NEW?
The What's New section points out the latest new features added to the www.thatsmyfamily.info site (e.g. new databases) as well as changes made to the federated search engine it hosts.
The federated search engine offered on this page was launched and is maintained by Bibliothèque et Archives nationales du Québec (BAnQ). Library and Archives Canada (LAC) partners with BAnQ to oversee the evolution of this project which is also supported by the Council of Provincial and Territorial Archivists (CPTA) of Canada.
The search tool, free of charge and available in French and in English, leads to genealogy and family history databases hosted by federal, provincial or territorial archives centres and libraries, or by other partners.
The quality of the results obtained by using the federated search engine depends on the nature and structure of the information collected in the searched databases. For more information on the characteristics of these databases, please click on the Sources tab on the home page of the interface.
