Please join the Kingston Branch of the Ontario Genealogical Society (OGS) on Saturday, March 21, 2026 from 10:00 to 11:30 for our Hybrid Branch meeting and presentation.

Our speaker is Daniel Mitchell, Museum Assistant who will be presenting in-person.

The Great Lakes Museum is home to the S.S. Keewatin, the last remaining Steam driven passenger-liner in the world. Built in Glasgow, Scotland in 1907, she served as part of the Canadian Pacific line until 1965, providing a short cut across Lake Superior from Port McNicoll, Ontario to Thunder Bay, Ontario.  Join us and discover what life was like aboard this luxury liner in the hay days of steamer travel.

This meeting is a hybrid meeting, in-person and on Zoom and is open to all.  If you are interested in attending remotely, please register by clicking this link.

We hope to see you on-line or in-person on Saturday morning!  UPDATE: This meeting will now be on Zoom only.
