Hello Tina- Thank you so much for your suggestion and weblink for the Canadian directory. Today, I have printed all addresses and will send a covering letter explaining my research. From the 89 people shown, I have narrowed it down to 62. It's going to cost me a lot of dollars, however, "what price does one put on finding a long-lost relative"? Thanks again. I will keep you informed if anything surfaces.
