My great grandfather was Frederick John Taylor, born April 3, 1869 in Toronto, Ontario, according to his death Certificate. His father was James Taylor, ancestry noted as Irish. His mother was unknown, which in Canada usually means native or Metis. Birth Registrations became required in Ontario in 1870. As did death Registrations, so I am going to guesstimate the approximate death date for James and search that. I am currently visiting in Saskatchewan, where James may have died in the Metis Rebellion of 1885, so I may find some historical material here that isn't available on line. If I find anything interesting I will send it on. Do you have any information on the generations before your Fred Taylor? Vicki Taylor Auerbach
