Hello Susan, I'm afraid you'll need to give us more than that to work from!

When/where was he born, who did he marry - do you know who his parents were?

Where does the Maglio fit in?

At the minimum, you need Ken's mum's name. Tracing E.B.Something back is hardly feasible.

I think you need to callsomeone. Check the phone book at

[Burnaby & Coquitlam are suburbs of Vancouver]


You can search BC BMDs at
http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-21C242/gbsearch/Births,Marriages,Deaths
but I imagine most events are too recent.

You can check graves at http://bccfa.islandnet.com/

You can check the 1911 census at:
