When researching your family tree, we are taught to look for resources like birth, marriage and death records, land records and many others. In this session, Linda will explain how family historians exploring underrepresented populations may find rich and unexpected records created by exclusionary laws. While the examples draw from Linda's expertise in tracing Chinese families, family historians researching other "impossible" groups will be sure to gain insights and tips they can use in their research.

Linda Yip was born in Vancouver, BC, Canada. Her family's historic home - the Wing Sang Building - is today the site of Canada's national Chinese Canadian Museum. Linda is an Accredited Genealogist® professional in the region of Canada Western Provinces: BC, AB, SK, and MB, and is a member of the Ancestry® Canada Advisory Board of Genealogists.

In her off time, Linda works with Library and Archives Canada to improve access to, and understanding of, overlooked records historically out of reach to most researchers. Linda is a speaker and author. Her first book, Getting started in Chinese genealogy, was well received, and she's planning a new series. Linda has lived in British Columbia, Alberta, and Nova Scotia, and spent a year in Massachusetts. She currently resides in Saskatchewan with her husband.
