The Genealogy Services hired the Ipsos-Reid firm to conduct two surveys that reached 4,000 people in March 2002 and November 2003.

The goal was to:

• evaluate interest in genealogy;
• identify relationships, interests and common values with other economic and cultural activities; and
• understand reasons and motives for the growing interest of Canadians for genealogy and family history

You can consult the final reports of the two surveys:
