1878 city directory

Genealogy is the study of families and the tracing of their lineages and history.

The Canadiana Department on the 6th floor of the North York Central Library and the Special Collections, Genealogy and Maps Centre on the Toronto Reference Library's 4th floor offer resources such as city directories; birth, marriage, death, immigration and military records; genealogical indexes and much more.

Most of the items are not available to take home, so you will need to come to the library to use them.
