To all -- It may not seem that records of veterans would be a great part of genealogy -- but it is my belief these records are important. My personal hope is -- in the future -- the names of the 516 Canadians who died in the Korean War conflict will be put in provinces. The names are on my homepage http://homepages.rootsweb.com/~downhome/ Click on TRIBUTE, then at the top, click on the POPPY to open the memorial at Meadowvale Cemetery There is one line beneath the site with the poppy -- click on that -- and 516 names will appear. Also, The Maple Leaf Project is there on this same page. Enjoy!!
