Dear Shirley,
Thanks for the reply.
Unfortunately, I do not know "where" in Canada he died.Family lore is just that he died in Canada and my Grandfather had to take a leave from the US Cavalry to retrieve the body from Canada.I guess, that means that my Great-Grandmother was not with him in Canada.
It had been my hope that there would be some sort of paper trail that I could follow from NYC.My thinking was that there had to be some legal paperwork involved in transporting a dead body from Canada to NYC for burial.NYC had no death records and told me to try Canada - boy, do I feel like I am in a Catch-22 senerio.
Attempts at birth records and marriage records have been to no avail.
Thank you again,
Terri
