Suddenly, it was a 4:00 a.m. bedtime for a genealogist

On a recent evening, I planned to spend a couple hours on some updating and expanding of syllabus material for upcoming presentations. Then I was going to reward myself with some more time on my own family history. I accomplished both and went to bed at 4:00 a.m.

Added more cousin details to my family tree. That was the plan. Some people ask if we are ever going to be finished with our family history. NO, it’s an ongoing endeavor for many reasons.
I had previously found many trees online that had a 1942 date of death for a 1c3r who died in Canada, and who had connections to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. No source citations but some don’t put those online. Several do mention Canada as the death place. It’s tougher to research that time period in Ontario and especially in Quebec. I have a long list of what else has been searched for this family, including in the U.S. Pleasance May/Mary Reinhardt married Thomas Henry Connolly in 1899 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. Several of their children were born in the Boston, Massachusetts area.
My Great Grandmother Marie Delia Malvina Daoust (1875-1958 was a first cousin to Pleasance Mary Reinhardt. My great grandmother was only known to me as Nana or Violet Dow Cook. Her father, Arsene Daoust, changed that to Samuel Dow while they were still living in Montreal. Nana married John Thomas Cook in Superior, Douglas County, Wisconsin in 1893. Following all this so far?
I periodically check for more information on Pleasance and Violet, descendants of Clarinda Copping and Edward Reinhardt. My online trees are pretty basic as I keep most details on my own computer.
My late night (early morning?) sleuthing finally turned up more details. The one I appreciate the most was a brief notice of the death and funeral for Pleasance Reinhardt Connolly. Another example of why we go back to websites, repositories, databases, and our own records. My searches this night were for variations of her name on Newspapers dot com. Was this newspaper newly added? Newly searchable? New years? Search variations? I’m betting that her own descendants knew of this but for me it was a bonus.
