Actually I can tell you one name that could possibly be something helpful. Jews name their kids after relatives that are deceased (as opposed to naming after living relatives, I think it's a religious superstition thing). My middle name is Herschel, I know that I am named after my great-grandfather ...

Yeah I don't recognize those names and the people that would are all gone :( I am not 100% sure, but I am fairly certain that they were all in Poland, this is the only part that confuses me since I don't think my grandparents were in Canada much if at all.

I have been told since I was a child that I was related to Leonard Cohen fairly closely (he was my Grandma's cousin I believe she said, but I have trouble remembering so I'm not 100% sure).
