Maybe it doesn't help, but a letter to both addresses setting out what you know and who you are looking for, may reap dividends. I did precisely this exercise myself in May. My letter arrived in Winnipeg but the people had moved. One of their old neighbours took the letter from the postie and took it round to them. They called me the same night - first contact between our respective families since about 1950. Letters are going back and forth, with all sorts of information. Got to be worth a try... Sheila |

The only thing that I can suggest is to google 411 where you can get the telephone number of everyone in Canada. There are 2 Joseph Burry's, one in Newfoundland and one in Nova Scotia. That doesn't help much, does it? Margaret |
