Hi evryone my grandmother was Ruth MOLLARD  born Canada i know not where
She was in RCAF during war as a waf? Canadian air force sgt reg no W302161
I believe she was born around 1923-24 and married a Kiwi in 1945
I was adopted so this is a new search and ive had no experience with Canadian Archives  so any help would be fantastic many thanks Julie-Ann

Ruth P Mollard    6 Canada
Phyllis A Mollard    3  Minnesota
