Hi Stella
Yes, in the end I might have to simply go on a ancestor by ancestor basis.
I just did not want to make post after post asking for one Obit at a time and had hoped someone might be able to give me a hand up. As these Obits are more a means to an end for me ... hoping for a tidbit or connection in an Obit that will allow me to find them in immigration or even census ...
I was just given a hand in this post by someone who gave me a great link to the Edmonton Library so I do know OBITs exist in the Edmonton Journal for a number of the people I am seeking so that is a plus. As it provided dates they ran.
Perhaps someone with the ability to access old newspapers online will help?
thanks
