but, we've found original passenger manifolds from 1930 showing the names they travelled under, we found birth records showing the person listed as Great Grandmas husband was actually a brother (we knew the marriage certificate was fake, my great aunt tracked that back in the 80s), we figure she just used his info so she had a certificate when she landed here - she was listed as 'widowed' on the ship's manifold.
it's pretty fascinating.
oh, and we found the toronto address they listed as a contact here, so we are tracing the ownership records back to 1900.
i'm amazed at what we might learn,
