How do you find evidence of someone's birth in Canada when there seem to be no records *at all* of the family in this country? US censuses all insist he was born in Canada, but the client doesn't really know where in Ontario the guy was born (a late record in the US gives a location, but that's hardly definitive), they appear in no censuses, and nobody knows which church might have their records. I'm at a loss. #genealogy #geneadons #BillC3
