Chinese Ancestors in Canada

 



Chinese research expert, Linda Yip will be presenting on Chinese research as part of Course One of the Canadian Genealogical Virtual Research Institute which focuses on  Immigration to Canada. 

Learning objectives for Linda's presentations: 

A.      Foundation of researching in Chinese genealogy

B.      Understanding of migration patterns

C.       Overview of history 1850-1949

D.      The records

Linda will cover history, migration patterns, languages and detangling Chinese names. 


Linda Yip is a genealogist, public speaker, storyteller, writer, photographer, and entrepreneur. She tells you this because she brings all her creative skills to bear on her research. To Linda, genealogy only begins with the BMDs. There is so much more to know about our ancestors. 

Linda got started in genealogy with her own Chinese ancestry, and she's privileged to be on the Ancestry Advisory Board of Canadian Genealogists. Her skills come from focusing on the particular challenges presented by Asian genealogy, and she has done genealogical research into subjects from Chinese disenfranchisement to Japanese internment. She also enjoys tracking ancestors from British Columbia to Newfoundland, and especially in Saskatchewan, where she currently resides.

In her former life, Linda was Executive Assistant to the Firm Managing Partner and Board for an international law firm. She personally assisted dozens of legal teams on major cases. Now she uses those administrative skills to help genealogists organize their finds with Evernote. After all, if you can't find it when you need it, it's the same as not having it at all! Linda a proud member of the Saskatchewan, and British Columbia genealogy societies in Canada, and the Seattle Genealogical Society in the USA, plus the Chinese Canadian Historical Society. She hosts a monthly Chinese genealogy coffee chat on Zoom with the BCGS, and runs a private Facebook Group: Genealogy for Asian Canadians, where she tries to bust brick walls in real time.


Other topics covered in Course One are:

  • The Irish in the Maritimes
  • Black Nova Scotians and Black Loyalists
  • Immigration groups in Quebec
  • Ontario Land Settlement and Settler Groups
  • Fur Trading and Metis ancestors
  • Irish Palatine
  • Russian-Germans

How Do You Find Irish Palatines in Canada?

 


In 1709, after a bitterly cold winter that saw the devastation of their farms and vineyards, more than ten thousand people from the German Palatinate travelled up the Rhine and sailed to England.  A third of these people, all Protestants, were sent to Ireland where they formed a unique enclave amidst the larger Catholic population.  Over time, they lost their German identity and became Irish, and like the Irish, they immigrated to British North America in droves.  They were instrumental in bringing Methodism to the New World and adapted well to their new country.  What made them stand out in Ireland—their German customs, their Protestantism within a largely Catholic country—were no longer distinctive once they settled in Canada.  They immigrated to Canada as “Irish” people, not “Irish Palatines,” and they melted into a Canadian identity like other British and European immigrants. 

How, then, is it possible to find the Irish Palatines in Canada when they appear in the records as “Irish”? 

The key is tracing surnames.  Most surnames are distinctive—such as Brethour, Corneil, Dulmage, Fizzell, Shouldice, Switzer, Teskey—and for those names that are more common—such as Baker, Lowe, Lawrence, Young—one can often be proven Palatine by association since the Irish Palatines, like most immigrant groups, tended to settle together.  Armed with a knowledge of surnames from the limited settlement locations in Ireland, a researcher can search for those surnames in the usual Canadian genealogical and historical records. 

Despite some significant gaps in Irish records, there are two early lists of Palatine families in Ireland, one taken in 1715 and another in 1720.  Additional eighteenth and nineteenth-century records including freeholder lists, tithe applotment books, Griffith’s Valuation, and parish registers provide further evidence of population growth and spread. 

Taking a transatlantic approach is necessary not just for discovering names, but also for understanding the local circumstances that drove the Irish Palatines to leave Ireland and immigrate to North America.  From rent increases in the mid-eighteenth century to agrarian violence and famine in the nineteenth, the evidence is found in petitions, outrage papers, estate records and memoirs. 

Digitization of key Irish and Canadian records makes the task of following the Irish Palatine immigrants from one side of the Atlantic Ocean to the other that much easier.


Carolyn Heald authored The Irish Palatines in Ontario:  Religion, Ethnicity, and Rural Migration, and co-edits the Irish Palatine Association Journal.  She is a director of the Ontario Genealogical Society’s Irish Palatine Special Interest Group and a recipient of the Eula C. Lapp Award for significant contributions to Irish Palatine genealogy.

The Irish Palatine presentation is part of Course ONE of the CGVRI.
