That includes many members of the OGS.
The URLs of The Changing Shape of Ontario (all sections of this extremely good presentation of historical material) have changed in the past two or three years and many providers of references, including wikipedia, have not updated their references. Error 404s are rife. Also, it is difficult to get from one section of this website to another–like a building without doors between the rooms. I use the individual county maps dated circa 1951 a lot, but came a cropper when I didn’t know Leeds and Grenville was presented as one map for each county.

Your posts are very informative. Genealogy is very rewarding, but if you don’t have good background knowledge, it’s very difficult to put everything into perspective. It’s great that you are providing pathways for people to deepen their knowledge of history.
