If that fails, I would next try Winnipeg's Vital Statistics for a copy of Ellen's Death Certificate. This venue worked wonders for me in my search for my grandfather (from Red Bay). >From a kind cemetery keeper, I was given the name of the funeral director, from him, the city where he died and then went off to city hall where I purchased a copy of his death certificate ($10) which opened many doors for me. This was the way to go for me living in the US. Paul **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!
