    1. Q: My fathers grandfather came from Sweden to Canada 1911, how can I find his now living relatives? (Per Lindberg was born 1853, he died 1913 in Fort William, Ont, Canada).
      A:
      Through obituaries (they list who's still living & where - follow the obits from old to new), city directories, phone books, funeral records. See our
      Check List and try any resource that would apply to those still living.

      Do you have an answer for this question?



    2. Q: What is the best method to find children of relatives who hve died in the last 10-15 years?
      A:
      First you must know when and where your relatives died. If you don't know start with the
      OCFA to track down burial information. Once you have a date and place you can find an obituary that may list names and places of children. You can then use 411 or telephone listings to track them down. Another option would be to contact the funeral home and request contact with the next of kin listed.

      Do you have an answer for this question?
