OLIVER KELLY MADE IT FROM QUEBEC. CITY TO YORK ( toronto ) upper Canada UNDERNOURISHED SICK AND POOR WHERE LEFT IN A MAKEUP TENT CITY NEAR ST PAULS BACILICA on Torontos waterfront! THOUSANDS DIED UNDER THE POOR CONDITIONS AND WERE BURIED IN MASS GRAVES(UNMARKED)! my grandfather MICHEAL KELLY was born near KETTLEBY ONTARIO ( NEWMARKET ) KING TWP. County York.1858 IT CAME TO MY ATTENTION FROM A STORY IN THE TORONTO STAR NEWSPAPER SAT AUG.6 2011" near the site(mentioned above) it was decided the city of Toronto would dig a hole to errect a faculty hospital building to house a Toronto aboriginal health -care group,however the bulldozer uncovered the remains of our IRISH FORE FATHERS!!!!!!!!IRISH THINK ABOUT THIS! THE DECISION TO LEAVE THE BONES AND MORE THAN THAT" THE SOULS OF THE DEAD" there should be no MORAL or LEGAL Question, please if you have a drop of IRISH blood in you EMAIL your friends in TORONTO CANADA AND INFORM THEM ABOUT THIS TRAJEDY.thank you,THOMAS GEORGE KELLY
