Resources

I've been getting lots of emails from people asking for information on relatives that served in the CEF during the First World War. I appreciate the comments people have made and I've decided to list the websites I've used in the course of my research.

Canadian Great War Project

Great website that lists all the War diaries currently online as well as nominal rolls, links to other Great War websites and books. There is also a feature that enables you to upload information on your soldier, that other people can search for.

War Diaries of the First World War

Most Battalions diaries are up in varying degrees. From our friends at Library and Archives Canada.

Soldiers of the First World War

First stop for those starting their research. Once you have your soldiers attestation records you can order a copy of their service record from LAC.

CEF Study Group

Ancestry

Unfortunately not a free service. For those who decide on a subscription you will be able to search birth, marriage, death and census records.
