I recently discovered that the Toronto Star has been completely digitized and is available on-line from the 1890s up to the present. You may search and view the paper for a small fee: http://thestar.pagesofthepast.ca/Default.asp You may search 5 years at a time--but there are always problems searching old newspapers--the search frequently does not recognize the blurred letters of the old papers. I found the following obituaries and news using the search and also viewing papers on specific dates. Many of the obituaries did not appear in the search results . I found searching on variations such as "Beattle" helped--or using other search parameters such as address. But the best results come from knowing the date of death. I believe that Lineage 515 may be from the following family (I have posted a more in depth summary of this family but here I am concentrating on the Toronto portion). My intent was to find an obituary for Thomas Beattie and his mother Emily Beattie that would mention L515 Robert John Beattie. I never found a death notice for Thomas or Emily Beattie-- perhaps if I could find an exact date of death from a cemetery I would be able to locate the obituary. 1901 Toronto, Ontario Canada, Dist 17, page 4 John Beattie, age 41, born Feb 22, 1860 in Scotland, arrived in Canada in 1887, bookbinder, Presbyterian, nationality Irish Emley, wife, born 26 May 1861, 39, born England Thomas, son, born 31 Oct 1882 18, born Scotland, Methodist, bookbinder Robert son born 22 July 1886, 14, born Scotland, Methodist [**L515?] Violet, dau, born 28 April 1892, Ontario Arthur, son, born July 1, 1894.
