Thanks, Duane!

I've spent the last 90 minutes looking for my Canadian Kellys and I am
really surprised at the number of Americans who enlisted in Canada.

If you have people from any states abutting the Canadian border it may pay
to take a look at this site. Most of the records have the enlistment record
that gives physical descriptions in addition to the birthplace and next of
kin, etc.
