GORMAN/WHITLEY: A Collection Needs a Home!

[argyllshiregirl]

Hello,

I am a volunteer with a local history group in southern Ontario. I write a weekly column about our interesting past. A collection of some 200 wartime letters, belonging to a now deceased childless couple, has been found during the renovation of an old house in Toronto.

This first column was written by someone else at the publication. It outlines what was found. https://www.barrietoday.com/local-news/contractor-hopes-to-find-family-members-after-discovering-box-of-second-world-war-love-letters-2864496

This second story was written by me after I investigated the family tree. The pair had an unusual amount of early deaths and childless couples in the family. We did learn of some cousins who may yet be living but have not found them. https://www.barrietoday.com/local-news/community-bands-together-to-solve-mystery-of-the-second-world-war-love-letters-2879280

Please share this with your Toronto friends, if you have any, especially in the Danforth area. Thank you! Looking forward to writing a third story containing the happy ending!
