Thank you ALL - everyone is just sooooo helpful on this list and the answers provided are wonderful. We are trying to obtain a file from Stats Canada for a 'Charles William Ford' during the 1940 war registration but they won't release it until we provide an obituary of the person having been deceased for at least 20 yrs. We provided the death registration and obit but he said that for some reason it didn't match the one they have on file. They wouldn't say why exactly but gave some indication that the year of immigration didn't match up. So now I need to convince them otherwise!...............thanx again.................debi
