Surnames: Menini
Hello! I'm looking for information/pictures of Archie Menini born in Italy in 1903 and died in B.C.,Aug 24, 1991. The obituary names as survivors a step son Ken Evans of Aldergrove, B.C., a niece Florence Eves of Kelowna, one granddaughter and one step granddaughter. Archie Menini would be my great-grandfather and a missing piece of my father's family tree. Any info would greatly be appreciated.

Hi- What I can tell you is my grandmother was Donelda, my father Ken, and I think I'm the surviving grandchild mentioned.
Archie was a very nice gentleman who had been a body man car repairs) before and grape grower among other things. He died 6 weeks after Donelda, and both are buried in the Kelowna cemetary- you can look up their plots online.
I'm not sure about the rest of the relatives, but I understand my dad's cousin lives in Kelowna (I think her name was Bunny...)
I will try to find some other info for you, but it may take a while as Ken recently passed away.

Hello, Thank you so much for replying to my message. I have been working on my father's family tree for a long time & have not been able to get much information from his siblings. I stated in my post that Archie Menini would be my great-grandfather but he actually would be my grandfather.
The info you gave is very interesting because my dad Willard Menini worked & retired from Ford Motor & was an avid gardener with fruit trees. He also is a very nice man and was very good looking.
Willard is 85 yrs old now & his health is not very good, I was hoping to give as much info about his father as I can, as he never met and doesn't even know what he looked like. From what I've learned Archie moved to New York and then Canada from Lafferty, Ohio soon after my dad was born.
Would you have any pictures of Archie? I could send you pictures of my dad & we could see if they look similar.
I am so excited to hear from you. Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated. I am a nurse & work alot of hours, so I'm not on my computer at times, but I would love to hear from you again.
Thanks, Linda Menini

Hi I am Marg Hutton and interested in hearing from you regarding your grandmother, Donelda.
Her mother was born Annie Florence Johnston born 8 Nov 1879 in Kincardine, Ontario Canada. I research the Johnston name; these are relatives of my husband. Donelda Menini signed the death registration of her mother, Florence Johnston McArthur Glover Nov 1958 in Kelowna. The first husband of Annie Florence was Donald/ Daniel McArthur. Looking forward to a message. Marg email hutton93@telus.net
