Thanks Mike, have a rel who died in Ontario after 1935 and for the love of me can't get any data on her, never know your luck, may be in that lot.

I am not sure what the real topic of this thread is which I have just glanced through the 3 postings. The Archives of Ontario (AO) has extensive microfilm collections of newspapers throughout Ontario and I believe if you know either the name of the paper AND /OR the place of publication that you can verify their actual holdings or closely so online. Sadly within the past year or so and the move to a new location on the campus of York University here in Toronto they have dramatically reduced their public service hours and believe it or not are only open business hours Mon thru Friday! Good luck to those who work those hours and wish to undertake extensive personal research into their ancestors, etc....!

It's just a few links to online newspapers. It started off as just the Canadian newspaper, then I found the American ones, so added them. It's not perfect, and if can think of better title will edit. They're there if anyone wants to use them and I might add more.

A bit of a ' loose thread '
