In Ontario, Canada, several military documents are invaluable for genealogy research. Key resources include service records, attestation papers, and pension files from World War I as well as World War II, which provide personal details about veterans, including their service history and family connections. The Canadian Expeditionary Force (CEF) records are particularly significant, offering insights into an ancestor's military experience and deployment. Additionally, records from the Ontario Military Museum and local archives often contain unit histories and personal memorabilia. These documents not only help trace lineage but also illuminate the broader historical context of an ancestor’s military service, making them essential for any genealogist exploring family history.
