iFamily History: V is for the VOC

This post is part of my family history videos A to Z blog challenge for 2021 which expands on my presentation for Legacy FamilyTree Webinars by showing a variety of examples. The Webinar is available at familytreewebinars.com/download.php?webinar_id=1740. Information and index of posts at ifamilyhistory.blogspot.com/p/a2z-family-history-videos.html.

V is for the VOC (Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie)

The VOC is known in the English world as The Dutch East Indian Company.

The British, Danish, French and Portuguese also had a East Indian Company so that can be confusing.

The video talks about what proceeded and how the VOC came to be at the Cape.

This video is in two Playlists:

The A to Z April blog challenge playlist and the South Africa History playlist.

Genealogy

I researched my paternal grandmother's line to the first three white landowners of Canada in the 80's. I began genealogy going on genealogy trips in Ontario, England, and Scotland at graveyards with my mother starting at age 7 on. As a teenager, I sat in front of a microfilm reader with a list of names every Saturday at an FHL while my mother volunteered helping others.

I have spoken at Genealogical conferences and sessions at RootsTech (UT), FamilyRoots (UT), The Genealogy Show (in Birmingham, UK) as well as in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ogden, and Ontario.
