<DIV><FONT size=2>Karen,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Do you have any more information about your Ezra? I didn't get any hits on his name in the Canada data that would seem to fit. There is a marriage record for 1882 in Ontario, but he's emigrated to the US by then. So far, the database seems to be quite limited. Most of what is posted there is for the province of Ontario, with a few bits here and there from British Columbia and occasionally one item from one of the other provinces. I will keep looking, just to make sure I haven't overlooked something.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I was wondering if someone with the Canada subscription would look up Ezra Burkholder for me. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The 1900 Oregon census lists his birthdate as 8/1/1862 and immigration as 1873. I have been told there are several Ezras for that time period but none of them seem to be my ancestor.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you to all who have helped me in this, I really appreciate it.</FONT></DIV></DIV></DIV>
