I am looking for anyone who may have known my father. He was born in Limoges, Ontario in June 3 1914 and died in Ottawa, Ontario June 7 1994. I have very little information about him. I believe his parents were killed by a train or travelling on a train when he was very young. He was raised by his mother's sister. I believe her name was Mary Jane and her last name could have been McKay. Mary Jane married and lived in Ottawa. Her husband drove the bus for OC Transpo. Their last name Bonnefont and had a son named Ray. Ray remembers very little about my father except that he was never home. Albert left when he was very young. My father went to Jamaica on a gov't contract to build schools, and this is were he met my mother, married and had their first son. This is when he changed his name to Ritchie. My mother believes that my father was married before he met her and never divorced. She also believes that he could have had children with his first wife either in Jamaica or in Canada. My father burnt down the church in Limoges when he was very young including all it's records. Can anyone offer any advice or help. Thanks so much in advance. Since I am only a guest on this web site you can e-mail me at Melansongirls4@sympatico.ca.
