There are quite a lot of online records for Ontario - although I'm not sure how far into modern dates they reach. Christine

Hi- Just checked and there is a L & P Madge listed plus 4 L. Madges - also 3 R Madges in Ontario. Log on to www.mytelus*com/new_homepage/ (change the *) In the green box in the centre go to phone book and enter the names and Ontario for the province. Take your pick but the first seems maybe correct. If you have any problems pm me. Update - just phoned and the L & P are not yours.

Claire, I believe we're either 5 or 6 hours behind you in Ontario. It's now 1:10 p.m. here. Margaret Oops, it looks like 7 hours.
