Heritage Societies

The Ontario Genealogical Society has established a number of Heritage Societies to honour Ontarians whose ancestors were involved in certain historic events in this province. The War of 1812 Society and the Centenary Club are under way and two more are planned for early 2010.

The two starting in 2009 January are:

War of 1812 Society

Membership in the War of 1812 Society is open to anyone who can prove descent from one of:

• British soldier based in what is now Canada during the War of 1812-14
• member of any Canadian militia unit that saw action during the War of 1812-14
• native who saw action on the British side during the War of 1812-14
