Manitoba Archives - Probate
« on: Monday 16 July 12 17:10 BST (UK) »
If anyone is at, or planning to go to the Manitoba Archives, I would sincerely appreciate a probate file lookup. I do not live in Wpg and am limited in travelling due to my son who has disability challenges. If I could, I would make regular trips there but am limited to what is available online.

I have all the file locator codes , etc.

Thank you!

Awwww thanks for the offer but he had no obituary, but I did find reports in the papers noting his death.  He seems to be a wisp of smoke. :(

I had not seen this before...I don't do this sort of thing anymore as I didn't find my bus trips there & back, sometimes full days work searching for others all that rewarding...One fellow even took out his frustration on me when he realized my afternoon spent looking through newspaper & directory reels just for this one man revealed he wasn't the big shot they'd thought he might be. Hardly the thank you I'd expected...

....However due to your circumstances....If you still need the record, p.m. the details & I will search for you...J.J.
