Hi Karen: I saw your post to John and was wondering if you would forward me the complete mailing address for the Manitoba Genealogical Society. I'd like to send them a request. Thank you very much P.S. Our snow is gone also. The temperature today reached a record setting high of 21. Mary Lorraine (Ontario Canada)

Hello John, The Belgian Club is at 407 Provencher in St. Boniface and their telephone number is 1-204-237-4263 and yes it does still exist. I can find no listing for the Home Street United Church in the current telephone book. In the 1966 Henderson's Directory it is located at 318 Home Street. For the place of burial either send for her death certificate or go to the Manitoba Genealogical Society at 1045 St. James Street. For a $5.00 you can search the MGS cemetery transcriptions yourself for her or you can mail them $6.00 along with a SASE and they will search for you. The MGS is the best place to find your answers and they are very helpful and the parking is free. They do have a web site so look at that. One more thing. The snow is gone now.

Canadian citizenship came into being in 1947. Before that we were British citizens, I believe.

to become a citizen is a federal issue so you will want to contact the Federal Government.
