Twentieth century data is by far the hardest to obtain. I have one aunt left who is well into her 90's and on good days I have received a wealth of information. Another valuable source of information has been family bibles which have been kept up throughout the last century. In Canada the latest internet source of data is the 1901 census which is extremely well documented with both indexing and images. Good hunting Judy Elkington
