The residents of Oxford County will be able to watch a new video series exploring and detailing the County through the years.
OXFORD COUNTY - A new video and podcast series is coming to Oxford County.
Tracing Your Roots: uncovering the family histories behind the council table is a three-episode limited series developed as part of the 25th anniversary of Oxford County Archives in 2025, coinciding with the 175th anniversary of the incorporation of Oxford County and the 60th anniversary of the Oxford County Library system. Oxford County Archivist, Liz Dommasch, says what people can expect to see and hear.
"The idea of it is to kind of show the public what types of records we have in the archive. So, we introduce people to land records, genealogical records, business records, that kind of thing."
Members of County Council helped make the episodes, and it includes, Councillor Brian Petrie (Town of Ingersoll), whose episode highlights a variety of archival records and the role Archives play in family history research, Councillor Jim Palmer (Township of Norwich), whose episode explores how land records can reveal stories of settlement, ownership, and family connections, and Warden Marcus Ryan (Township of Zorra), whose episode focuses on tracing family history using online tools and digital resources that make research more accessible. Dommasch mentions how people can find the episodes.
"It will be advertised on the county's social media as well as the archive's Instagram page. And then the actual videos themselves will be on the county's YouTube playlist."
You can also listen to a podcast version on Spotify, and the first episode will be released this coming Monday. Each episode will be released on a weekly basis.
