The Canadian Government will hold a National commemorative ceremony honouring all of Canada's First World War service men and women to pay tribute to their achievements and contributions.

The ceremony will be held on "Vimy Ridge Day," Friday, April 9, 2010 in Ottawa at the National War Memorial-a symbol of the sacrifices of all Canadians who have served Canada in times of war in the cause of peace and freedom.

Another site that is remembering the soldiers....print off the poppy and colour it and hang it in your window.

Every Canadian has a chance to pay tribute to those who served. All you need is a piece of paper and a red crayon. In a matter of days, you will walk or drive along streets and see red poppies in the windows of homes, businesses, and schools. As the sun rises on the day of the official ceremonies in Ottawa, there will be poppies across Canada for...

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone has ever tried to access public school records.  In particular Detroit, Michigan for the period between 1920-1940 and who one would contact for that 

Thanks,

Hi there,

When I came down to computer this morning, my computer had the black screen on and said "system failure boot", I thought ok, so shut everything off and started it up again.

After shutting it off I now have the following "you may be a victim of software counterfitting"  it also says "this copy of windows did not pass genuine windows validation"

I have had this computer with the same software for at least 4 years, is this some sort of virus, how do I find out if it's real, it says to click here for help, but I havn't, just in case it's a scam?

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Karen

Hi there,

I believe I have found my gr grandfather arriving back in England in October, 1919,

On the passenger list he states that his destination is

64 Steane Road, Seaford, Sussex.

I would really like to know what was at that address, I've tried googling it and I can't seem to find it, but think maybe it was a typo and should be Steyne?

He was in the CEF and during WW1 was stationed in Seaford, Sussex, he came back to Canada in May of 1919, only to dissappear.   The picture of my avatar is the family he left behind 

Thanks for any help
Karen
