Cindi Foreman has posted 71 funeral, mass, and prayer cards on her blog, My Moynahan Genealogy, hoping genealogists whose ancestors lived in Ontario and Michigan will recognize some of the names on the cards.
Ms. Foreman writes, “The majority are friends, neighbours, co-workers and acquaintances of my grandparents 〈Ernest Moynahan and Rhea Coughlin〉.” Only 19 cards are confirmed as her Moynahan-Coughlin ancestors.
Most of the cards are from the Marcotte and Janisse Funeral Directors. The others are from the Kennedy Funeral Home (Essex, Ontario), Anderson Funeral Service, James H. Hutton Funeral Home, Van Deweghe Funeral Chapel, and Windsor Chapel.
To make it easy to browse, Ms. Foreman has listed the names of the people on the cards in alphabetical order. Also included in the blog post is a list of links about funeral cards.
If you find an ancestor’s name among Ms. Foreman’s funeral cards, she would you to contact her.
You can see the cards on My Grandparent’s Funeral Cards.
Hi
I am tracing my family tree and desperate to find a man called stanley Sidney lacastra. He was born in 1929 in lambeth London UK but was taken by the lambeth guardians to canada. I am sure this was done also in 1929 so he was still a baby. It was definitely somewhere between 1929 and 1931.
I do not know if these children that came to canada had their names changed so I am struggling where to start. Any help would be appreciated.
Regards
Tracey
