Canadian naturalisation database extended

The Canadian national archive, Library and Archives Canada (www.bac-lac.gc.ca), has updated its naturalisations database. From the archive's blog:

Library and Archives Canada is pleased to announce the release of a new version of the online database Naturalization Records, 1915-1951. The nominal index has been extended with the addition of more than 68,000 names and now covers the years from 1915 to 1944, inclusively. Work is ongoing to extend the nominal index to 1951, and volunteers are welcome to help. Those interested should write to Cdn-Nat-Coord@jgs-montreal.org.
