Hi Doreen, I do not know if this would help any but on ancestry there is a border crossing of a 12 yr 7 mo student (April 16 1950) of an Alexandra S Duncan born Toronto, Ontario returning to home at 13865 Edgewater Dr Lakewood Ohio. She was 5'1", fair complexion, brown hair and blue eyes. It appears she moved from Toronto to Ohio perhaps 1945. passage was paid by her mother. Sounds promising!!!!!!!!!!yes, no, maybe Jackie Dee's Genealogy wrote: > Doreen, > > Has anyone put a classified ad in the Stratford papers asking any relatives > to come forward?

There is another border crossing into Buffalo dated 26 August 1945 for the same person. However, this entry clearly states the given names as Alexandra Scott Duncan born 12 Sept 1937. Parents are Gladys and Alexander D. Duncan (father was living in Rocky River, Ohio). The 1950 record clearly indicates the same person (entry into USA 26 Aug 1945) Gail ________________________________ From: Jackie Serna <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Mon, June 14, 2010 6:42:13 PM Subject: Re: [ONTARIO] Newspaper lookup - Stratford, ON - part II Hi Doreen, I do not know if this would help any but on ancestry there is a border crossing of a 12 yr 7 mo student (April 16 1950) of an Alexandra S Duncan born Toronto, Ontario returning to home at 13865 Edgewater Dr Lakewood Ohio.
