Title: Cohn Family in Winnipeg
Post by: Joneswim on Saturday 14 November 20 20:40 GMT (UK)
Hello,

I am trying to find information of the Cohn family in Winnipeg. I know that the family had five children (Clarence, Harry, George, Heloise and Wilfred), but unable to find more about their parents or grandparents. The parents were Herman and Hinda Cohn, and they raised their family in Norwood.

Any assistance would be much appreciated!
