I am writing to ask someone to do me a favor. My husband's grandfather died in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1931 and we would like to get a copy of the obituary which appeared in the Manitoba Free Press, in the November 21, 1931 edition. It is just a brief write-up. A copy was sent with some legal papers but it is unreadable, therefore the reason for this request. I am willing to pay for photocopy, postage, etc or perhaps someone could tell me how I could request a copy of it. Thank you in advance. Margaret

Margaret: If no one can do a look up for you. Then you can request an inter-library loan of the microfilm. The Manitoba Free Press microfilm reels are located at the Legislative Library in Winnipeg. You will need to know the month and year of the death. I am not sure if there is a charge. Some universities and public libraries also have copies of microfilms of newspapers. I know the university of Alberta in Edmonton does. I am not sure if they carry the Manitoba Free Press, but if you are living near a university it might be worth a call. Hope this helps.
