That certainly does put a stop to the US Civil War research my friend was going to do for me. I have so many questions now though, you might regret it! The death certificate that I have for John Alexander states that he was born in 1854 in Armagh, Ireland. Doest hat mean you have something else saying that he was born in Canada? Also, do you know what happened to Robert White? Did he die as well, and that's why children were orphaned? Do you have a digital copy of any of the certificates that you have, that you'd be willing to share with me? I'd love to have a look at them.
