Digital records and broad access to the Internet have made it easier for genealogists to gather relevant information from distant sources and to share the information they have gathered. The law, however, remains tied to particular geographic locations. This book discusses how specific laws – access to information, personal data protection, libel, copyright, and regulation of cemeteries – apply to anyone involved in genealogical research in Canada.
"Dr. Margaret Ann Wilkinson's book on the impact of the law on Canadian researchers will be most useful if you are living in Ontario and dealing with Ontario records."
Much of the information is useful, and Canadian genealogists will find themselves reaching for this text as they encounter questions
" a very informative book for professional and amateur genealogists researching Canadian families."
