Thanks Sandra, I wasn't aware I had a reply. Yes, that is how I found that they had returned to Canada by cemeteries. Thomas and Selina are buried side by side

Hi Jacquie,
Thanks.
Yes, you are right.
I sure wish my family could remember some new information that I could utilize.
I appreciate the help.

Canada Lookup Request / Re: Ignace, Ontario
« on: Friday 29 June 12 20:37 BST (UK)  »
Well, I received my reply from the Ontario Registrar. :)
Now what do I do?
Olive died in Ignace, Ontario on September 15th, 1953.
my great aunt unfortunately drew a line thru Olives' parents names and birthplace of either parent.
However Olive is born in Ontario and she is irish. This is different than in the census' where maybe due to her common law(?) husband origins Olive is registered as english.
Olives' date of birth is noted as December 25th, but no year.
Age is 79 years, 8 months, and 21 days. This brings me back to Dec 27th, 1874/75 as a daughter of Samuel IRWIN. My grandfathers (Lewis) surname at birth was IRWIN/MASTERS.
When looking at Sidney and Olives names they gave their children I am not able to find out who Olives' parents could be.
As for being irish, born in Ontario, so far I can only seem to come up with Samuel and Anna Jane nee JOHNSTON or
Rebecca IRWIN (widower) whose husband may have been George.
Do not know where to go on this, any help?
thanks,
Razzy

Canada / Inter Library Loan
« on: Wednesday 09 May 12 00:53 BST (UK)  »
I just recieved this in my email. I think best I share this news report. I hope this is the right forum as it pertains to Canada. :(

The Federal Budget, released in late March 2012, included a number of cuts to Library and Archives Canada (LAC).  Library associations and other stakeholders across Canada have been seeking more information since the budget's release. The Canadian Library Association (CLA) posted the following message to their website on May 7, 2012:
 
------
In our recent press release on the impact of cuts at Library and Archives Canada and other federal department libraries, CLA indicated that LAC was ending ILL [interlibrary loan service], which caused discussion on a number of lists.
 
I have asked for clarification, and LAC has confirmed that it is the end of ILL as we have known it.
 
LAC is looking at a variety of models for making their holdings widely available within their financial constraints.
 
The current service will end February 15 2013; the successor to the current ILL program will be announced in the fall of 2012.

Canada / Re: Ontario Death Certificates

Hi JJ,
I have been very polite. I have shown great restraint and maturity when provoked.
Also, I have never made a complaint.
Please be assured I have many stresses on my plate as I have politely expressed in condensed form.
I do not need to be attacked nor provoked, I did  not return the aggression.
As a human being on this planet, it is only right to stand up for myself, I should not cower, agreed?
Might does not make right; I am confident in re-reading and examining the comprehension of my notes my requests were reasonable, they were not complaints.
They were requests for help, needing help, showing why I needed help.
Nothing in what or the way I wrote deserved me being berated publicly. 
If the researchers and yourself decide I am a complainer, even after this, that would be disappointing.
Thanks,
Razzy

Hi KarenM,
I am not sure either why no one can properly read why I cannot use the download, or even find it.
And also the other reason why I must have a hard copy to send.
It seems easy peasy to me, but reading may be a lost art?
But anyways, I have the hardcopy.
cheers,
Razzy
