Hi Karen: Thanks for the help and information. I will be visiting Winnipeg next week and plan to visit the cemeteries and the Mb. Archives in the hope of connecting some dots in the search for ancestors. Once again, thanks for your assistance and your commitment to assisting so many of us trying to trace our ancestors in Manitoba.
