I'm on vacation for a week and can't wait to get to the Ontario Archives.

I have so much I need to look up, but I'm also looking forward to spending time with my brother and his friends.

I'll try to post any interesting finds I come across.

Keep watching.

Did you know that Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor were married in Montreal back in 1964.

Just I case you don't believe take a look at what I found at the archives.

I’m back, I had to take some time off to decompress.

Whenever I start doing research for someone I always ask “Do you want to know everything I find?”

Well, my own words of caution came back to roost a few weeks back.

I had been trying to find the coroner’s report for my Grandmother and instead came across one for my Grandfather.

The findings, once I had translated it (of course the report was in French) were quite surprising.

I now have the difficult task of trying to find out if anyone else my family knew the cause of his death.

I guess not ever having met my Grandparents I sort of romanticized their life together.

After all I had seen how my parents were so in love with each other that is what I wanted to be true for my Grandparents.

So you set it aside for a time but it eventually pulls you back in.

I’m off and running again this time with a new outlook.
